Does Taking Codeine And Guaifenesin Together Cause Stomach Ache?

I have taken codeine and guaifenesin 100 -10 for a cough. I was wondering if this could make my stomach ache. It has a burning feeling and I also have fever blisters since I started taking this. The dosage is 2 teaspoonfuls every 6 hours as needed. I took Pepto Bismol to try to sooth my stomach, but it didn t help much. I am trying yogurt now.
