What Causes Vomiting And Severe Cough While On Augmentin?

default
Posted on Tue, 5 Sep 2017
Question: Quick question, I had a steroid injections 4 days ago from a pain clinic in my thoracic part of my back. They put me under Anesthesia (propofol, ketamine and something else). Apparently I had a coughing fit while under and it was so bad they had to stop and wake me up. I apparently vomited as well. I coughed so much and so hard I blew the blood vessels in both eyes, coughed so hard the back of my throat was raw. I spit up blood for two days but it was because my throats was raw. Well my throats still hurts a little but my chest and everything else feels great. Ribs are not sore anymore either. I laid in bed for the past 4 days resting. Well the question is every day from 4 pm to 8 pm I seem to have a very very low grade temp. My temp jumps to 99.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Then it goes back to normal around 8 pm and it's normal all the way until 4 pm the next day. I don't have any symptoms of a fever either. No chills, nothing. He has me on augmentin just incase I got a infection but I feel great. Think I should be concerned?

Brief Answer:
Not worrisome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

The mild rise in body temperature can be related to the environmental or hormonal changes in the body also. Since you do not have any other associated symptoms this does not seem to be worrisome.

This can even be due to weakness or reactive rise in temperature due to an allergy. This will gradually subside on its own within next few days.

I hope this answers your query.

In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Thank you, just one follow up question. I blew the blood vessels in my eyes out and the Scalera part of my eye is pretty yellow. One Pete is more yellow than the other but that eye had more blood vessel damage. He has me on augmentin and Vicodin, can the yellow part just be bruising of the eye? Just wanted to make sure I don't have to worry about any jaundice.

Brief Answer:
Can be due to bruising.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The yellow part can be due to bruising and it will gradually fade away in 7-10 days. Jaundice involves yellowish tinge to the palms and other skin also.
Hope my answer is helpful.
