Hi everyone. About 6 days ago I went to the doctor for a cold and an ear infection. I was prescribed antibiotics for the infection. A few days later, my tooth and face started to hurt, which I assumed was from the sinus pressure. Some days the pain was unbearable. Fast forward a few days, I develop a stomach issue; nausea, severe stomach grumbling, diarrhea after anything I eat or drink. Similar to a stomach virus but I haven’t vomited. I tried taking Pepto for it, but it did nothing. I’m still experiencing the tooth pain but since I haven’t been able to eat anything, it hasn’t been as bad. I’ve finished my antibiotics. But the diarrhea, nausea, and grumbling have lasted a day and a half now. I’m starting to feel dehydrated. Do you think this could all be related? Or will the tooth pain fade when my sinuses improve more, and I just happened to get a stomach bug? I read that this type of thing might stem from a tooth abscess? What type of doctor should I see if it’s necessary; dentist, PCP, ER?
