What Causes Nausea During Food Intake While Being Diagnosed With Pneumonia?
my husband is on antiobotics for pneumonia and he has three more pills to take, however, he has not eaten anything substantial since Saturday (today is Wednesday) he a bite of toast and about half cup broth. he says he feels nausea, but he is still very tired and sleeps all day and he says he legs are weak.
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your husband's situation and problem. In my opinion he is having acute gastritis due to drugs of pneumonia. Pneumonia needs antibiotics. And these drugs are commonly causing gastritis. And nausea is common symptom of gastritis. Weakness is mostly due to poor oral intake. Gastritis cause decrease in oral intake. So start antacid like proton pump inhibitors for gastritis. And give him soft diet, avoid hot and spicy food, ask him to drink plenty of fluids orally. Don't worry, he will be alright.
