Hi, If you are allergic to Flagyl then only you would have tingling following it's intake, otherwise you might be just having seasonal allergies associated.
But why were you prescribed Flagyl?

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Flagyl is very unlikely to cause tremors. However, if your tremors persists, you would need to see your doctor for the alternatives like Ornidazole.
I would also recommend you to take Anti Allergic like Levocetrizine for allergic issues.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
