Med side effect?: There are many possible causes of abdominal pain, and you may need evaluation if this pain doesn't resolve soon. It would be more serious if you are pregnant (please do a home test if that is possible). It's also possible that you are having stomach pain from one of the medicines you are taking. (ibuprofen for tooth pain, or narcotic pain meds can both cause stomach pain) talk to your doctor!

Stomach pain: Antibiotics candace the side effect of gastrointestinal distress. Do both your Physician and Dentist know what Meds you are on? They both should be fully informed. Unless told otherwise, take the meds with a meal or with a full glass of water, not just a little sip. Probiotics may help. Talk to both practitioners about suggestions for making you more comfortable.
