Content: I think this is more likely to be what is going on in your case. Sometimes, a very serious diarrhea can develop after taking antibiotics, characterized by bad abdominal pain, cramping, and fever. If you have any symptoms like this, you will need to see your doctor right away for evaluation. Finally, depending on what you were initially treated for with antibiotics, it could be possible that the nausea is related to that condition not being entirely cleared up yet. Regardless of which of these possibilities is most likely, I would suggest that you touch base with your primary care doctor to be evaluated for this nausea. Need more info?
