My mother had been admitted 5 days in hospital with lot of antibiotics, all symptoms like vomit sensation, nausea, abdominal pain--mild & strong time & again were happening for a few days before admission. My mother has been advised to take Ranbaxy Niftran 100mg capsules for 10 days, on discharge from hospital, but since start from yesterday, she has got vomit sensation, nausea, abdominal pain--mild & strong time & again. Just taken 2 tabs of Niftran in 10 days course. Should she continue with the same & if yes, should she take some other medicine alongwith it to reduce the side effects?
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history, it seems to me that your mother was treated for a UTI (urinary tract infection) with Nightcap. Some patients are intolerant to nirtofurantoin, and if the vomiting is severe, then you should contact the treating doctor for a review who might change the antibiotic depending on the culture/sensitivity reports. Otherwise, she could continue with the same medications along with a proton pump inhibitor and an anti-emetic Chat Doctor.
