Detailed Answer:
Hi
The cause of vomiting and pain in the abdomen is due to Antibiotic Azithromycin.
Please stop Z pak.
I give injection Rantac to my patients with similar complaints.
If facilities for injection are not available, I prescribe Rabeprazole and Domperidone combination capsule to my patients.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish him good health and speedy recovery.
