Hi Lunar I fancied some Trebor soft mints but haven't got any in the house (typical) and didn't like to ask hubby to go out at this time of night. Will get some tomorrow though. Hi Jacky You're right, it's a horrid feeling like travel-sickness rather than the other sort. I've got some cream crackers so perhaps if I just keep drinking and have one or two of those, it might help. Thank you both, Mandy x

Have you flattened the coke with a little water?

Thanks Sandra, I'm just getting fed up because it's been almost a fortnight now. Don't know which feels worse, the illness or the side effects lol! Mandy xx

Hi Mandy, That was the second anti-biotic I had (double strength) and I found just keeping fluid levels up whether tea or water and the odd dry biscut helped. Are you taking them with food as directed as that can lessen the effects of nausea. I think feeling like that is worse than being sick. Jacky :-)

flat lemonade is often good for nausea you could also try ginger or peppermint as they help with travel sickness. if all else fails ask the GP or chemist (tomorrow) if they can recommend an anti-emetic (anti-sickness) drug. remember to let them know what your on already.

Have been given a much stronger antibiotic today (Erythromycin) for a nasty ear infection that just won’t respond to anything else, but one of the common side effects is nausea (great!). I’m sipping Coke which is helping, and I sit or lie very still when the nausea comes over me in waves. Anyone got any suggestions for anything other than Coke please? Bearing in mind of course that it’s nearly midnight, pouring with rain and blowing a gale, so I’d rather not have to send hubby out to fetch something I haven’t already got lol! Mandy :)
