Could my mother?s current symptoms of extreme weakness, dry throat, constant sleepiness, poor appetite, and throwing up a yellow, bitter fluid be side effects of the medications she recently finished taking, which included Supra+, Medomol 650, Montina-L, Abupan-DSR, Abuzim-500, Revidox-LB, and alpha beta arteether injections, and what should we do next?
It is very common to experience these symptoms after finishing strong medications. The antibiotics azithromycin (Abuzim-500) and doxycycline (Revidox-LB), along with levocetirizine (Montina-L), can cause sleepiness, dry throat, and stomach upset. Throwing up yellow, bitter fluid is bile, which happens on an empty stomach. Her extreme weakness is likely from both the medication side effects and her body recovering from the illness. Please encourage her to sip water or oral rehydration solutions to stay hydrated. Because of her weakness, it is best to consult her doctor promptly for a quick evaluation and to ensure she recovers safely.
