Hello
It seems from the history that you are on erythromycin for treatment of bacterial sinusitis.
Erythromycin is a antibiotic and it can be used in treatment of bacterial sinusitis.
Erythromycin is known to cause gastric side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain. Since you are having all these symptoms these indicate side effects of erythromycin. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of alternate drug for erythromycin.
Thank you
