Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If this is the side effects of the drug then it will be temporary and nothing can be done for that but once you finish the course of drug everything would be okay. Still, it is better to discuss this with the doctor who prescribed the medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
