A member asked:
If antibiotics make me nauseous am i allergic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Your digestive system is designed to digest food not process drugs. Lots of medications cause nausea, stomach upset & diarrhea. While these symptoms may be part of an allergic reaction doctors look for additional symptoms in skin (hives, rash) & breathing problems (cough, wheeze, difficulty breathing) to diagnose antibiotic allergy.
