How Can Diarrhea Along With Dizziness And Body Tremors Be Treated?
I recently was on prednisone and amoxicillin for an upper respiratory infection. I took prednisone for 5 days and stopped taking the amoxicillin after 4 days because of diarrhea. It’s been 2weeks and I still have diarrhea, weakness , shakes , dizziness and sometimes cold sweats .

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think diarrhoea is side effect of Amoxicillin and weaknesses and cold sweats, and shakes are side effects of corticosteroid stopping suddenly.
You should stop steroids gradually to evitate side effects, for about a week. You should take probiotics to eliminate diarrhoea side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
