Can Penicillin Cause Stomach Upset?
I have an upset stomach. I had a tooth extracted Tuesday and was prescribed penicillin, ibuprofen (600 mg) and hydro codone. I only took hydro codone a couple of days, and have used ibuprofen only as needed (about 9 - 12 hours apart). Can the penicillin be causing an upset stomach?

Hello Dear,
Thanks for reaching us.
Penicillin is an antibiotic and it can cause stomach upset, nausea or diarrhea in some people. Taking antibiotics after tooth extraction is essential. So, I would suggest consulting your dentist for an alternative antibiotic.
Ibuprofen can cause stomach upset. Hydrocodone sometimes causes nausea and vomiting.
I hope my answer is helpful.
Thanks
