How To Deal With Acid Reflux And Belching?

i have been on antibiotics for a deer tick bite for a total df 21 days. I am off medication now for about one month. While on medication i developed acid reflux, throat problems, difficulty in swallowing and stomach problems. Also, when bending over to do garden work or lifting seems to agravate it. I have always had bouts of acid reflux, and would always go away over time, but this time, it hasn't. I am wondering if it is still the effects of the antibiotics or do i have some other underlying problem. I also do a lot of belching usually after eating, and sometimes pain in the midddle of my rib cage. It doesn't matter what i eat i still get a lot of belching, but try to stay away from spicy food, tomato, coffee, and any food that i think would make it worse. Thanks, and can you help me.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems to be esophagitis along with drug-induced gastritis and it is the common symptoms followed by antibiotic therapy and for that the best treatment is tab Omeprazole with Domperidone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
