What Causes Hallucinations After Taking Medicine For Streptococcal Infection?

My granddaughter was given this medicine for strep and took it for 3 days and started seeing monsters and would totally flip out she had to medicated to calm her down. She is ten years old. We had her at childrens hospital twice and so far all they found was high protein count in one of the tests. She still tested positive for strep and had it for 3 weeks with antibiotics 3 times. She was released from the hospital yesterday and had another attack tonight and is back to the hospital. She was seeing the monsters the first few days then she was becoming unresponsive the first time 40 minutes and the second 20 minutes. She seemed to be back to herself the last couple days until tonight my queation how long for this med to get out of her body. Thanks

hello,
This may or may not be related to the medications. She needs to have an MRI of the brain to make sure there is no problem there causing the hallucinations. Let us know the name of the medication she was given and perhaps we can be more helpful.
