Antibiotic gastritis: Call your prescribing doctor and let them know. ask about topical medications. I have seen people get rid of recurrent facial abscesses by using mupirocin ( bactrban) intranasally for 6 weeks which is less impact on stomach. Gastritis but if persists may leads to ulcer or c difficile. Call your doctor today let them know and be checked for H pylori as well.
