Hypersecretion of gastric acid is common while patient is on certain Drugs/ Antibiotics and it will manifest with symptoms as mentioned by you like - Heartburns, Pain in upper abdomen, nausea, discomfort in the epigastrium etc. It's better to take medicine (tablet) which reduce the acid secretion rather than Antacid/syrup which neutralizes the already secreted acid, because sometimes such antacids/syrup might interfere with the absorption of actual Antibiotic which is more important.. To know about which medication would suit your condition better, Consult me on Practo App.. You are free to ask your doubts/ clear your concepts. Wishing you speedy recovery
