Hello,
Doctor prescribed your son nitrofur cap which contains nitrofurantoin which is an antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections.Its may be enough to treat UTI but it may cause nausea and other gastrointestinal side effects which may be minor.So i will advise you take rabeprazole 20mg tablet before meal.This will take care of your stomach upset.
Hope this is helpful.Take care.
Thank you.
