What Causes Urinary Incontinence And Dizziness After Taking Ammocillin?
Hi, My 10 year old is taking ammocillin for strep and a severe middle ear infection. Since taking the medicine he has had frequent urge to urinate sometimes feels dizzy and randomly stutters. Could this be a side effect from the medicine or from the infection? Thank You!

Hello
The symptoms like increased frequency of urination,feeling dizzy and stuttering are more suggestive of spreading of middle ear infection to the brain rather than the side effect of medication.
Streptococcus is one of the most common cause of meningitis and in the presence of middle ear infection with these symptoms I would like to get him evaluated by a physician immediately to rule out any brain infection.
Early detection of meningitis and its aggressive treatment will improve the outcome.
