Suggest Treatment For Nausea Post An Umbilical Hernia Surgery

I am 8 weeks out from umbilical hernia surgery. Infection within 1 &1/2 week of surgery treated for infection for 1 month. Ever since then I have had a low grad fever ranging from hi of 100.7 varying 99.4 low. I had nausea ever since. Saw my PC doctor 2 weeks ago. She gave meds for the nausea. The did not work. I checked in with her yesterday but she did not get back to me. Right now I am extremely nauseaus, have a terrible headache and have a pain in my right side that is painful to the touch. What can this be?
