Hello
As you mentioned that they put dye in her vein for many tests . Some patients reacts to these dyes hence, starts vomiting and feels nausea .
When such type of cases visit in my clinic I usually prescribe intravenous fluid ( nothing orally ) of Ringer Lactate and electrolyte - M, till patient get full relief .
Nitrofurantoin in itself causes nausea and hyper acidity.
In my opinion consult one more physician and get his consultation.
Good luck for your mother.
