Common side effects of Protonix IV include redness/pain/swelling at the injection site, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, dizziness, or joint pain.

Crackles heard in the lungs of a person with pneumonia using a stethoscope. Crackles, crepitations, or rales (/ËrÉËlz/ RAHLZ or /ËrÃ¦lz/ RALZ) are the clicking, rattling, or crackling noises that may be made by one or both lungs of a human with a respiratory disease during inhalation. They are often heard only with a stethoscope (on auscultation).
As a patient's condition worsens further, the fluid may leak into the lungs. The patient now has pulmonary edema, and those lung sounds may even be heard on expiration. At that point, they are classified as SUB-CREPITANT crackles. Sometimes an isolated area of crepitant crackles can be found in an upper lung field.
