Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to inform you that antibiotics usually disturb the useful bacterial flora which help in the process of digestion and absorption.
This can result in abdominal discomfort.
She should take pre and probiotics. These helps to restore the useful bacterial flora in the intestine again.
She should also take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before meals.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
