Suggest Treatment For Fever And Nausea

My dad started taking Nitrofurantion mono mac. He has taken 3 doses so far. He has nausea and is running a 101 fever. He has not eaten much today. I think he should quit taking and see if he bounces back and maybe try to take it again in a few days. He had his flu shot on Saturday. Started taking this on Tuesday?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* So far as symptoms narrated here, fever and nausea are due to underlying systemic infection.
* Quitting antibiotic will raise the issue of fever again, rather than I would suggest to
- Add a proton pump inhibitor as Omeprazole or else to be taken on empty stomach with sips of water.
- Take tab. Paracetamol 3 times a day after meals.
- Be in regular follow up with your doc for further guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
