I use deodorants everyday. I started taking antibiotics a week and a half ago and for the past 3 days I been having this sour odor from my armpits. I take a shower twice a day.

By this time your antibiotic regimen is probably done and the odor will go away on it's own within about a week. Drink water throughout the day (don't overdo) and that will help flush/cleanse your system of the residual effects even more quickly.

Medications - all medications have side effects, and one is that they can change body chemistry, or at least the way the body's bacteria effects sweat. The plus side is that you usually only have to be on it 10 days.
