General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query carefully.

Yes, one dose is enough to give the side effect of stomach discomfort, especially if you are a person who has previous stomach problems.

But it is not most probably an allergic reaction, because it gives other types of symptoms.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Papaqako
