I extracted my tooth today ... And one antibiotic Amoxycilin has been prescribed..how necessary is this to take because I have very acute gas problems and I do not have a good history with antibiotics as it causes extreme problems in digestion.

Hello it’s advisable to have your antibiotics if they have been prescribed by your dentist. For the gastric issue you can have PAN -40( antacid) empty stomach every morning till the time the antibiotic course is going on and can even have A to Z multivitamin in the afternoon for 7 days.
Health Tips
Have the antibiotic course as prescribed for the duration and add these two medicines so that your gastric issues are well taken care of. Take care. Get well soon!
