What Causes Discomfort On Left Side Of The Back After Taking Flucloxacillin?

I have been taking Flucloxacillin for 7 days. Since taking them I have developed uncomfortable pain in the left side of my back just below my kidney. When I let wind it does help elevate the discomfort a little. Also I am suffering from shortness of breath. Is this normal? I have finished the course

Thanks for asking at Healthcare magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Fluclixacillin doesn't cause pain in back nor shortness of breath. It causes pain only if it is injected and that is too at injection site. other side effects are GI upset, Urticaria, rash and hypersensitivity.
You have develop GI upset and slight bronchospasm due to fluclixacillin
I would like to advise you to take antiallergic like cetrizine, spasmolytics like Hyoscine bromide or drotaverine. Take plenty of water and fibrous foods like fresh fruits and vegetables and fibrocal.
Hope it helps best.
