Is Stomach Pain Being Caused By Amoxicillin Or Lyme's Disease?
Hi Im a 27 yr old male with a no outstanding medical history (no severe illneses, no medication allergies). A tick bit me 2,5 wees ago, i went to a doctor, who said that i developed Lyme disease. He prescribed me Amoxicillin (3x1000mg/day) I took 2 pills today, and now my stomach is hurting, and i had mild itches on me for approximately a hour. Are these the signs of amoxicillin allergy? Or is it the Lyme disease? Or a normal side effect at the beginning of the medication (like Herxheimer reaction)?
