Hi

Your symptoms suggest you might be allergic to the drug.Allergy to sulfonamide group of drugs is common.Kindly stop continuing the drug.Alternate antibiotics can be used.Drugs preventing nausea and vomiting are available. They can be taken half an hour before food.

Paracetamol can be taken for mild fever.If fever persists for more than three days,other causes such as infections should be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
