What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Chest Congestion After Taking Augmentin?

I have asthma. In October, I took Augmentin for a blocked salivary gland. For the past 4 weeks, I have had excessive bloating along with congestion (head and chest) the head/chest congestion has ended. The bloating and burping appears to have caused some gastric reflux that exacerbated my asthma way beyond the normal asymptomatic/mild asthma. Even with Proair and Serevent, I continue to experience SOB. In the past day, I have used antacid and Benadryl as suggested by RN. I ve had some on/off pain in upper right quadrant of abdomen along ribs about 4 from xyphoid.
