Hi,
The narrated symptoms are due to side effect of Cipro.
Usually, the symptoms fade up within the next 48 hours, once the drug intake is stopped.
If persistent beyond this period, one must be evaluated for the blood test of WBC counts and creatinine level to consider it seriously and manage accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
