Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to history provided you can have antibiotic induced gastritis or small ulcer like condition. For that you can prescribe Rabeprazole like antacid and you should avoid gastric irritant like excessive spicy foods and tea, coffee. Cooked oatmeal help in soothing stomach. If no improvement then ultrasonography examination of the abdomen is needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
