A member asked:
I have 2 pills left of my anitbiotic for a root canal. having bad lower stomach pain. i believe now from antibiotic. is advil ok for stomach pain?

Stomach pain: May be side effect of antibiotic, but do't stop taking unless your Dentist or specialist Endodontists says it's OK to quit early. Advil can cause stomach irritation. This is one of the few times when Tylenol may be a better alternative. Also consider yogurt to reestablish normal gut flora.
