Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

It is possible that you are experiencing side effects related to the recent antibiotic course which you completed. I would recommend that you continue with aggressive fluid hydration for the next couple of days.

it may take a few days for the medication to completely wash out of your system.I would recommend that you try to consume at least 1 to 2 L of water per day. Make sure also to eat a very well-balanced diet as well.

If you notice fevers or chills or worsening of your dizziness or changes in your vision then I would contact your primary care doctor for a follow-up examination.

thank you again for sending your question.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
