I'm taking cephalexin for a sty in my eye and i now have nausea. i have a history of gi problems, how can i ease the nausea feeling?

Stop the cephalexin: Styes do not respond to cephalexin -- so as a first step, stop the antibiotic. Styes respond best to frequent application of very warm, moist soaks - 5-6 times per day for 4 minutes each time.
