Hello,
Sorry to hear about your son's injury. I hope that he will get better quickly.I had terrible nausea after my injury and also lost weight. The pain only contributed to the nausea and lifting my head to eat was difficult. Also walking and any activity would make me dizzy and nauseous.
Zofran helped immensely. Without it I would have had no appetite. Please ask your doc for a prescription. Also it was helpful for me to get the sublingual type. I was ordered the regular pill form at first but anything in my stomach made me feel sick. It does taste bad but as someone who gets all the side effects from any pill I was thrilled to have something that I did not react to.
Stomach problems are common here, especially if you have to take a lot of pills including vitamins long term.
I was also given Reglan from another doctor but the Zofran was the clear winner for me. I would feel relief minutes later and would take it continuously. I hope that he gets some relief soon.
Take care!
