My dad has had a PEG tube for about 8 days and for the past several he gets extremely nauseous and has been vomiting frequently. His doctor ordered Reglan for motility and Phenergan for nausea to be administered with his tube feedings. They don't seem to be helping much. He just sleeps all the time most likely due to side effects of the Phenergan and not sleeping well at night.
Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with the nausea that just doesn't seem to go away? He keeps losing weight and just has no energy.
His tube is due to a fistula in his esophagus that was probably caused by radiation treatment from 2 years ago. Until that heals or can be surgically repaired, he is not allowed ANYTHING by mouth.
