10 Symptoms of Osteomyelitis
Symptom #7: Nausea
Nausea is an unpleasant and uncomfortable sensation where the patient feels an involuntary urge to vomit. It is a feeling that can sometimes precede vomiting although not all episodes of nausea result in vomiting. It is a common and non-specific symptom that can be experienced in pregnancy, motion sickness, dizziness, gastroenteritis, extreme pain, migraines, side effect of medications or treatment, and more.
It can be managed using antiemetics such as promethazine, metoclopramide, and ondansetron. While there is no pain in nausea, it can still be a debilitating symptom that greatly affects the quality of life of patients.
