Brief Answer:
It is not recommended to take the medication without consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
It is an antibiotic and you should take this only after consulting doctor. Presently based on the information I would not have suggested you this medication.
To address problem like yours, I usually prescribe to take simethicone 3 times daily to reduce bloating or ease the uncomfortable feeling.

Furthermore, I also highly advise to: -
1. Eat often, small portions and slowly, do not use straw when drinking
2. Avoid carbonated drinks/fatty foods - avoid chewing gums or candies to prevent too much air forming inside your intestines, especially in the afternoon or at dinner.
3. Sedentary life will also aggravate feeling bloating; so, I highly recommend to get physically involved.

Regarding the dosage, Usually 1 tab twice daily for 5-10 days for gastroenteritis.

Hope this helps
Take care.
