Hi Luvmy2kids,
Antibiotics can do a number on your stomach and may very well be the culprit for the issues you are dealing with now. It sounds like your doctor is treating you for Acid Reflux. That being the case, here is some information you might find helpful.
You can read more about acid reflux here in the over view. You can also check your symptoms here in the symptoms database. Since your doctor has prescribed medications, you can check those here in the drugs database. Your doctor prescribed Nexium. You can read about Nexium here.
You can also make some changes in your diet and lifestyle that will help. Dr. Todd Eisner has a good post here about reflux prevention and treatment. There is also some great information here particularly about nighttime reflux you might find useful.
Hope this helps. Don't get too discouraged. I know it's difficult. The Dr might have to increase your dosage of the Nexium at some point for a while.
Take care and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!
