<human>: I have been having upper abdominal cramping off and on. It started three days ago after I took an antibiotic to prevent infection after a dentist relieved an abcsessed tooth. I stopped the antibiotic after taking 4 doses(1 1/2 days worth) and still experiencing cramping for the last two days.
<bot>: Hi. Thanks for the information. The cause of the cramping in the upper abdomen may not be the antibiotic but can be the anti-inflammatory tablets one takes. This might have given gastritis. Try the following:Sanitizing and Omeprazole. Antacid 3 hourly, soft bland diet and take probiotics also. Consult a Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon for review, clinical evaluation and investigations as per the clinical findings.
