What Are The Side Effects Of Flagyl And Cephalosporin?

I have got a UTI two weeks ago and doctor prescribed ofloxacin which put me in bad condition with side effects. Pain in my legs skin when I touch (even when I am touched by clothes) I am afraid that it can be a kind of neuropathy. It started on 3rd day of medication and I took pills during 10 days as prescribed until last weekend. But again since yesterday I am suffering diarrhea and the same doctor prescribed cephalosporins and Flagyl. What do you advised knowing that I am afraid to suffer adverse effects to quinolones.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Flagyl and Cephalosporin are not Quinolones. So you can take it, and watch if you will react to any of them.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
