How to relieve nausea and vomiting after receiving cephalosporin

Nausea and vomiting after receiving ceftriaxone can be alleviated by adjusting the method of administration, taking appropriate medications, and making suitable dietary adjustments.

1. Adjusting the method of administration

Nausea and vomiting following ceftriaxone administration may be due to drug side effects. Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic that may irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to gastrointestinal reactions during infusion. Under a doctor's guidance, the method of administration can be adjusted. Alternative medications such as roxithromycin injection, gentamicin injection, or amoxicillin injection may be used instead of ceftriaxone, which can also achieve anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Taking appropriate medications

Nausea and vomiting after ceftriaxone can also be relieved by taking symptom-specific medications under medical supervision. Follow your doctor’s instructions to take oral medications such as colloidal bismuth pectin capsules or vitamin B6 tablets to alleviate vomiting symptoms, which can also help protect the gastric mucosa.

3. Dietary adjustment

Digestive function tends to be weaker during illness. Therefore, patients should make appropriate dietary adjustments during treatment. The diet should remain light and easily digestible. It is advisable to consume more porridge, vegetables, and fruits, while avoiding raw, cold, and irritating foods.
