My stepfather just got perscribed "HYDROCODONE" for pain and a broad spectrum antibiotic for his very painful kidney infection. the analgesic works but produces what he describes as intense nausea! i was wondering if there was anything available to cure his nausea (he throws up every time he wakes up) or any home remedies?

As far as prescriptions Phenergan tablets or suppositories are great,Zofran is wonderful with low side effects(it's even safe in pregnancy) and now has a generic.As far as O-T-C they still make Cola syrup and Emetrol,but they are no where nears as good as the rx items but if it just for short term the O-T-C's may be just fine.

Opiate Nausea

Many people get very sick from opiates, and there isn't much you can really do to make it much better. When I had to take pain meds for my very severe pain, after taking them for a a little while I started to get very nauseated, and the only thing that I found that helped was Dramamine (for me at least) which really only masked the drowsiness. Lying down, and making sure that you eat when you take the medications can help. If it gets too bad you should talk to his doctor and they may suggest a different medication. My doctor changed my medication for a little bit which helped the nausea. Part of the reason why my doctor thought that I got so sick for a while with my pain medication was because I was so sick so that could be part of it. Good luck!

You know it could also be that he is slightly allergic to the antibiotics, usually very strong antibiotics are prescribed for kidney infections. I'm sure that if you call the doc in the morning that they will call in a prescription for phenigrin (for the nausea). If it is just the hydrocodone thats bothering him, he can be given another type of pain reliever that is not opiate based. Opiate related nausea is very common as well.

Nausea is common while taking opioid s. Your doctor will be able to prescribe Tigan or Compazine.

try taking a digestive enzyme. That pretty much helps me get rid of any stomach ache. I don't know, usually when I felt sick it only lasted a little while, it should go away, that's weird.

You could try a GI Cocktail. Liquid Lidocaine and mylanta mixed together. The doctors I work with prescribe this to patients and then they charge them a fortune. You need the prescription for the lidocaine though.
