Do not use any over the counter mouthwash that contains alcohol, chemicals, dyes or preservatives in it. Brush thoroughly and floss as well as you can to keep the plaque down. Stick with a soft food diet for another week or so to avoid moving your jaw too much.

A note about antibiotics causing stomach problems at the onset of using them ..... this can indicate that your intestinal flora (bacteria) are out of balance to begin with. You could benefit from taking a daily probiotic to restore the good bacteria in your gut. For optimal health, most people require a probiotic supplement because their diet is lacking in good bacteria which disrupts the balance leading to digestive, intestinal and candida problems.

I hope this information is helpful to you.
