hi, thanks for your query. many times antibiotics and pain killers like the ones you are taking can cause severe acidity which feels like chest pain. ideally, it should be relieved if you take an antacid prior to taking your other medicines. you may feel better with cold milk as well. still, you must inform your dentist about your problem and take his opinion as we'll to rule out allergy to the medication. I am sure you will feel better soon. regards

hello.
we are here to help you out.

As you are taking antibiotics,you should take medicine which controls the acidity
because the common adverse effect of antibiotics is the increased acidity,burning sanastion in chest,diarrhea or constipation.
It also causes the discomfort in stomach like fullness or mild pain.

to avoid this,follow the following things:

1)you should take medicine which controls the acidity,(like Cap.Omeprazole 500mg,half n hour before food)prescribed by your dentist.
2)take other medicines after food
3)drinking cold milk before going to bed also helps in reducing he discomfort in stomach.

hope you find your answer.

Take care!

and kindly rate the answer if you are satisfied.
