Greetings.

Any of these medications can nausea. If the nausea started immediately after the surgery; this can be due to anesthesia medications which can have lingering effects.

Please feel free for your follow up questions.

 

I would be happy to assist you further, if you need any more information.

She says the nausea started after the operation when she started on this mix of medications. So don't think it is anaesthetic.

What can she do to work out what the cause is?

Medications are the most common cause of nausea. Voltaren and Codeine are the most likely medications out of her medications. She may consider stopping Voltaren first.

It is priivlege assisting you.
