Is it normal to have pale mucus bowel movement after an ear infection?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Head Ears and Nose, Intestinal Health, Ear Infection [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you have taken antibiotics for the ear infection, the consistency of your bowel movement may change. One effect of taking oral antibiotics is that they kill off bacteria throughout the body--both harmful and helpful--including those in the intestines. This often causes diarrhea or watery stool.
