Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The dryness in the mouth can be secondary to the antibiotics you are taking. Nothing to be panic, you can take lot of water. If it is not subsiding, then you can use artificial salivary substitutes like carboxy methyl cellulose. The discomfort in your stomach can be because of the gastric irritation caused by the antibiotics. For this you need to take a course of antacids like ranitidine.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
