hello there,
any oral antibiotic for longer term can affect various organs of the body , specially your bowel and liver.
when you had this pain to the left sided abdomen it may be coming from your bowel as well.?
for various skin conditions its a common practice to prescribe oral abx for upto 6 months and over.
majority people remain well.
however if the pain comes on i would suggest to stop taking the medicine and contact your doctor.
hope this helps
thanks
