Sore throat

2020-08-27 13:49:55
I had been taking amoxyclav as suggested by dentist after wisdom tooth removal . Completed the course on Monday. I have been suffering from constipation from then ( even though nothing changed in my diet) and from yesterday I have developed a sore throat . Is this a reaction to the antibiotics? I cannot think of any other reasons as to why I got these issues suddenly
