Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Can you please elaborate regarding what kind of sickness have you been feeling ?
The hormones might be causing mild nausea and sickness.
Also, why are you on antibiotics, please clarify that too.
Regarding the swelling in the breasts, it is concerning because just one breast is swollen.
The implant might have leaked.
You need to consult your surgeon at the earliest to have a scan and physical exam to know why the swelling is there.
