When you experience fever and take antibiotics, it's common for acidity to increase, leading to digestive discomfort and triggering a cough, which can take time to recover from. Ayurveda offers natural remedies to help manage these side effects. For acidity, Amla (Indian gooseberry), Licorice Root, and a blend of Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel seeds can soothe the stomach and balance acid levels. Coconut water also helps to calm acidity. For the cough, Tulsi (Holy Basil) and Pippali (Long Pepper) are beneficial for easing respiratory issues, while a mixture of honey and ginger can soothe the throat. To support digestion during antibiotic use, incorporating probiotics, such as yogurt, and ginger can restore gut balance and reduce discomfort. Additionally, staying hydrated, eating light, easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy or oily foods can help. Adequate rest is also crucial for healing. It’s important to consult both your healthcare provider and an Ayurvedic practitioner to create a treatment plan that balances both conventional and natural remedies for better recovery.

Taking antibiotics can upset the balance of your digestive system, leading to acid reflux or acidity problems. Ayurveda sees this condition often as an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, particularly affecting digestion. When antibiotics kill bacteria, good and bad ones, it might disrupt the internal balance of Agni - your digestive fire. That’s what could be causing your acidity and cough.
To manage this, you’d want to focus on restoring balance. First, consider taking probiotics post your antibiotic course, but try not to mix them directly as it might be counterintuitive. Fermented food like homemade yogurt or a little buttermilk can help rebuild the good bacteria in your gut. Take these with meals, as they tend to be lighter on the stomach.
Diet-wise, avoid spicy, oily, and overly dense foods as they can aggravate Pitta. Opt for cooling foods like cucumbers or melons, or drink tender coconut water. Simple stews and soups with plenty of veggies might also ease those digestive issues.
For your cough, try sipping on warm water with a little honey and turmeric. This combo works wonders as anti-inflammatory. Though, remember the turmeric can heat things up, so a pinch is enough.
Give Ayurveda herbs like Triphala or Avipattikar Churna a shot. Take them before bed, maybe mixed with a bit of warm water. They helps ease acidity and promote digestion and overall gut health.
If possible, practice the left-side savasana after meals—it encourages downward digestion. Yoga poses like vajrasana after dinner could also aid digestion. Keep stress in check too, it’s a sneaky cause of acidity.
This isn’t a quick fix, change takes time. But minding your diet and lifestyle closely should help. Let me know how it goes or if you’ve other questions! If symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult another health care professional too. Just to be safe.
