I am taking amoxicillin for the first time for a dental issue, and I've been feeling extremely nauseous since yesterday. Is it really normal to feel like throwing up after this tablet? I was wondering if I should eat something specific before the dose to make it easier.
Yes, amoxicillin can definitely cause quite a bit of nausea and vomiting. My mother always tells me to drink thin buttermilk with ginger to soothe the stomach, but I suggest you also ask your doctor if they can prescribe an antacid or a mild anti-emetic pill before your dose.
Beta, these modern antibiotics are very warm for the stomach and often cause vomiting. You should take a spoonful of fresh ginger juice with honey or sip lukewarm water when you feel uneasy. But do not force yourself to take the pill if you cannot keep it down, consult your doctor.
Look, antibiotics are heavy and they are bound to mess up your stomach lining, so nausea is totally expected. Don't take them on an empty stomach under any circumstances. If you actually start vomiting out the medicine, go straight back to your doctor and get it changed.
Hey, don't worry too much, this is a very common reaction to amoxicillin. Try to take your dose right in the middle of a meal to cushion your stomach. If you still feel like throwing up, let your doctor know so they can add a supportive medicine to help you finish the course comfortably.
Yes, broad-spectrum antibiotics like amoxicillin kill your good gut flora, leading to nausea. I'd highly recommend adding a quality probiotic supplement or eating fresh home-made curd daily to replenish those gut bacteria. Keep your workouts light and focus on recovery food until your stomach settles down.
Our bodies sometimes react strongly to external chemicals while they are trying to heal. Keep your mind peaceful, drink small sips of warm water, and avoid oily foods right now. Take care of yourself, stay positive, and check with your physician if the vomiting persists.
