A member asked:

I have a headache and upset stomach. can i take advil and pepto bismol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headache /stomach: Advil can cause gastritis which often causes a headache. I could not comment on the reason for your upset stomach, but I recommend Pepto bismol for patients with some types of diarrhea and upset stomach.
