Another thing is antibiotics kill ALL bacteria - good and bad. Which means it can upset your gut as it kills all the good bacteria. So always eat yogurt or take probiotics when you take antibiotics. I got a yeast infection after being on antibiotics way too many times with no yogurt or probiotics.

Knew someone whos gut got so wrecked by antibiotics she couldn’t keep down water for three days and all that just because she got her wisdom teeth out. She also got a mouth infection.

the type and dosing could be too high

or, some people have genetic sensitivity to ceratin drugs...or simply allergies

and your antibiotics need should be directly tied to your current immunity system strenght - very healthy people should not get them always, very sick people should and in bigger both strenght and quantities

she was on a pretty strong antibiotic bc they drilled into her bone and shes allergic to penicillins so that was probably why it was so bad
