A member asked:

Are antibiotics supposed to make you feel sick at first i feel really nauseous and sick she gave me a three day supply for an ear infection first pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Some antibiotics, like azithromycin, have a side effect for some patients that includes nausea. If this is a problem for you a call to your doc would be in order to consult about changing meds.
