Can Antibiotics Cause Dizziness With Pins And Needles In Forehead?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with sinusitis in my left hand forehead. I ve been having dizzy spells for months now. Currently I am on my 2nd course of amoxycillan. I am now suffering a pins and needles sensation in my forehead which occasionally moves to my left hand top of my head. Still suffering dizzy attacks and nausea.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
These symptoms could be due to the Sinusitis it self ! perhaps Amoxy may not be the best antibiotic for you, as u have already taken it and there has been no improvement. Under these conditions u need to meet up with a ENT splt to consider drainage of the sinuse. Indeed, add a decongestant( nasal drops lile Otrivin) to the antibiotic, simple steam inhalation would also be helpful. Thus the problem is not due to Amoxy but because of NO response to Amoxy !
