Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
If you have stopped Augmentin and still the problems of nausea, bouts of indigestion and pain in between ribs is continued then this may be gastroenteritis or may be induced by antibiotic.
You may try a PPI like Omeprazole
Take antacids every three hour, particularly when on empty stomach.
Probiotics and activated charcoal.
If these do not help, then you need the tests of blood and stool.
Ultrasound of abdomen.
Take proper treatment of left Otitis Media.
Change over to another antibiotic that helps both the conditions.
Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory that suit abdomen also.
I find this answer helpful
