HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the symptoms are related to the medication since many antibiotics cause gastrointestinal side effects.
Since he is almost finished the course, he may want to try using medications that reduce nausea such as dramamine or peptobismol.
If the nausea is over whelming and not responsive to these medications then he can speak to his doctor about a change.
I hope this helps
