Is Severe Dizziness Post Intake Of Cephalexin Normal?
I am currently taking cepalexin for an infection in my lymph node behind my right ear. I have been on it since last Sunday and I m having very bad dizziness all day long and feel like I want to sleep constantly and sporadic headache pain and nausea. Is this normal or can I stop taking it. I have 4 kids and need to function.

Dizziness and headache are common side effects of cephalexin. This is temporary and will resolve once you stop cephalexin after completing your course.
Advice
1. Complete cephalexin course as suggested
2. Take cephalexin after meal
3. Take rest for few days
4. Cinnarizine 25 mg per oral when dizziness occurs. You can repeat dose every 8 hours
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
