What Causes Nausea And Swollen Legs After Suffering From UTI?

My mother is 91 years old. She had off and on urinary infection, which is under control now. Probably because of urinary infection, her one leg is swollen and become heavy. She cannot walk independently and need support of family members to move around. Her food intake is ok now.The problem now is that she complains of vomiting tendency every now and then and put her fingers in the throat to force vomit. But no vomiting takes place. When we object, she start crying. She speaks very sensibly. We don’t understand what needs to be done to make her confortable and at ease. Seek your valuable recommendations.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the leg swelling then it may not be due to the infection but it could be due to geriatric complain, even vomiting could be due to this and it can be controlled with Tab Domperidone as per needed because of the age such symptoms must be happening hope this information helps.
