Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Cefuroxime antibiotic might be giving your wife an upset stomach as it can cause bowel irritation in some. Taking this after food will decrease such problems. Taking h2 blockers like Ranitidine ( zantac ) along with it also decreases irritation. If this is not helping then have a review with your doctor to change to another sensitive antibiotic. Give her more fluids. Taking barley water, cranberry juice is good. You can also give sodium hydrogen citrate syrup in water for relief of symptoms.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
