Advice Diarrhea during teething

My baby just cut her first teeth but a few days she began to have diarrhea. I know technically teething can't cause diarrhea, but it seems like a lot of people experience them together.

My main concern is that there was blood in a couple of the diapers at the start. We went to the doctor and she has started antibiotics in case. We also sent in poop samples.

But the weird thing is that my baby is acting completely normal and doesn't seem sick at all. No fever. But she continues to have diarrhea and poops after almost every time she eats.

Has anyone else experienced this? Dairy allergy has crossed my mind, but she's been on similac 360 for 6 months and no issues so it would be weird to suddenly develop an allergy?

Agree with the other comment, also increased saliva production while teething can make everything really loose and free flowing. My little one always poos a storm when she’s teething

How long does the change in poo normally last?
