Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
From your history, it seems you had indigestion followed by heart burn due to acidity.
However, to give a better diagnosis, i need to know following things:
1. Any blood you had in vomiting?
2. Any acidity you were having?
3. Any abdominal upset? or indigestion?
4. Any loose motions or fever?
5. Any chest pain, palpitations or sweating?
6. Any recent alcohol intake?
I need these details to help you better.
In the meantime, i would suggest you to take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone, after discussing with your doctor for relief from heartburn as if its is due to acidity it would help you a lot.
Reply with these details.
Stay Healthy.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Penicillin can cause stomach upset. So, i would advise you to discuss with your doctor about taking combination of Pantoprazole and domperidone.
In case you have any rash on the body and you have taken penicillin for the first time, you should report your doctor to see for any allergic reaction to penicillin.
If you have taken penicillin earlier this would be a stomach upset due to penicillin and i advise following in such condition:
1. A combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone once a day till you are taking Penicillin.
2. A probiotic and prebiotic like Vizylac, Bifilac, Lactovit once a day till you are taking Penicillin.
This is my best advise for you.
If you don't have a further query, you may please close the discussion and rate it.
