What Causes Tingling In Right Foot And Lower Leg While Treating Bronchitis?
I have been taking AVELOX 400 MG for the past 3 days treating Bronchitis. I am experiencing tingling in my right foot and lower leg, also weakness in the arms and legs, dry mouth, light headed and light dizziness. Do I need to go to see a doctor in emergency since its 1:36 AM now? OR it can wait till my doctor s office open at 10 AM??? Please advise. THANK YOU!

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, these sensations can be due to the antibiotic you are taking as fluroquinolone may cause these sensations and is reversible but drug may need to be discontinued and replaced with comparable antibiotic like macrolide. If symptoms persist may need neurological review.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
