Hi, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, it seems that he is having abdominal discomfort due to antibiotic. Antibiotics usually disturb the normal antibiotic flora. I would advise that you should take a probiotic along with an antacid for relief. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
