person-avatar

Asking for Mother, Female, 74 years old, UAE

My mother is on IV antibiotics therapy for 14 days (flucloxacillin IV 2000 mg every 6 hours) to clear Staphylococcus blood stream infection. She is now into 7th day of the treatment. She is clinically stable from day one (no fever, normal BP) As soon as her antibiotic drip finishes, she starts feeling lot of burping, heart burn, nausea, chest tightness etc. The treating Dr added Esoperamazole mg as well but situation did not improve well. Any recommendations to help her relieve these side effects. Thanks
