Question: I was diagnosed with pneumonia 4 weeks ago. I have asthma. I have allergies. I am continuing to cough up some phlegm. I have done a lot of coughing. I am still using Abuterol nebulizer treatments 0 to 2 times a day based on need. At the onset was taking treatments 2 to 3 times a day. Recently, I have noticed tenderness in my upper right abdominal quadrant in a triangle area from the middle of my body to right under my breast on my side . It's uncomfortable to wear a bra. I do have some tightness along my spinal column and scapula area on the right side. Can you give me guidance

Brief Answer:
Probably due to antibiotic use

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask A Doctor service.

I can understand your concern

According to the history you provide in my opinion I think this discomfort might be from antibiotic use.

Sometimes in some patients the antibiotic might cause intestinal cases or diarrhea.They are the cause of the pain or nausea.Usually we don't discontinue the treatment of it happens in the time of treatment.If it is after the treatment we recommend to use some supplements orally such as Enterogermina twice which regulates the normal intestinal microbes.

You can take it in the pharmacy without a prescription. Just take them and you probably will feel better soon

Hope to have been helpful
