Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having drug induced gastritis.
Antibiotics, ibuprofen and other painkillers are known to cause gastritis and this in turn causes upper abdominal pain.
So take pantoprazole (antacid) tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
