Is it normal for my mother to experience constant nausea and vomiting while taking Martifur and Monocef for a severe kidney and urinary tract infection, and what other steps should we take to care for her?
It is quite common to experience nausea and vomiting while taking antibiotics like Martifur (nitrofurantoin) and Monocef (ceftriaxone). However, constant vomiting is concerning as it can lead to dehydration and prevent her from absorbing her medicine. To help her, offer small, frequent sips of water or electrolyte solutions, and try giving her oral medication with food. Please contact her doctor promptly; they can prescribe an effective anti-nausea medication or adjust her treatment.
