Brief Answer:
Stop medicine Wysolone

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I am afraid you have side effects of medicines. How long did you take Wysolone and what dose? If it is less than 5 days you can stop them immediately. But if you have already taken 5 days course you should gradually stop like only one tablet a day.
In fact there are two antibiotics in your prescription one is very strong one called Levoflox (zenine) and other Doxycycline. Both are broad spectrum and may not be needed.
You should stop the medicines now.
I suggest you to increase water intake especially ORS drinks every 4 hours. Include one zinetac 150mg tablet before food thrice a day for 5 days.

I think you should meet an Adult medicine doctor specially Internal Medicine/General Medicine than a Pediatrician for your problem.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Fine you will recover in 3 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Good that you stopped Wysolone after 2 days only.
Zinetac is for the gastritis that can accompany with high antibiotics and steroids that were given to you.
Drink normal temperature water and not hot water.
You can have rice water, barley water, coconut water as well. They can bring back the lost electrolytes.
You will get back to normalcy in 2 to 3 days.
Thank you.
