Thank u sir for ur reply.i had the nausea before taking the antibiotics.but after taking those,it worsen further.the doctor gave me sprotplus antibiotics,3 tablets per day for 5 days.however,he didnot prescribe any probiotics.could this be the reason?i feel like vomiting more during the morning hours,when the stomach is empty.but after lunch i feel a little better.i also have occasional belching, acid test in mouth and don't feel like eating,sometimes my stomach also makes sounds.do u have any idea regarding,how long will it take to develop my intestinal flora as before?any ways,thank u for ur reply and i will b definitely approaching a gastroenterologist.

I am not qualified to make an statement about your doctor's diagnoses. Some people do not know that taken antibiotics can kill the bad bugs along with the good bugs that keeps  your gut bacteria at good levels. Probiotics are bacterial cultures that return new, healthy bacteria to your gut. I just had dental surgery, and I was prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day until all the antibiotics were taken. I took three antibiotics a day and 1  capsule of probiotics. I had no stomach pain or diarrhea. People I know who take a full amount of antibiotics can develop bloody diarrhea. Any pharmacy sells probiotics. Take the probiotics that are refrigerated, the cultures remain active when kept cold. I wonder whether your nausea came after taken the antibiotics? There are so many digestive disorders that you may  want to visit a Gastroenterologist that specializes in digestion problems.
