Known side effects of antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

Stomach upset and tiredness are side effects of antibiotic amoxicillin. But you need to continue antibiotic, if you are able to tolerate then you can take tab pantoprazole 30 min before food once a day and continue antibiotic after food. this will reduce stomach upset.
Try to avoid spicy food for few days.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.

Wish you a good health.

Regards
