Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that he is having abdominal discomfort due to antibiotic. Antibiotics usually disturb the normal antibiotic flora. I would advise that you should take a probiotic along with an antacid for relief.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
