What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pain While On Antibiotics?

Hello Dr. Andrew I am suffering from upper abdominal pain from last 4 month. in the beginning it was happening once in a month then two time in a month now every 10 day later. before pain duration was only 2 to 4 hour then 8 to 10 but since its happening after 10 day the pain duration is longer 24 to 26 hours. I took the antibiotics for my acne taking care for 6 to 9 month. I really do not know its happened because of antibiotic or what. in my Family no one has stomach problem. I eat 99% home made health good. do not eat fatty or high carb or sodium food. do not eat either spicy food.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The upper abdominal pain could be due to alteration in gut flora from antibiotics you've been using for acne.
I advise to take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora and antacid after meal.

If this won't help, then, stool examination and abdominal ultrasound recommended further to determine the right diagnosis. You might need prescription meds like antifungals.

Wish fast recovery.
