I am having an upset stomach after taking antibiotics. Is this a common side effect, and how can I manage it?

Asked by Male, 33 · 7 days ago

An upset stomach after taking antibiotics is quite common, as these medicines can disturb the natural balance of good bacteria in your gut. Take the antibiotic with food if advised, drink plenty of fluids, and eat light meals to reduce irritation. Including curd or other probiotic foods may help restore gut balance. If the symptoms are severe, include frequent loose motions, or do not settle after finishing the course, consult your doctor.
