Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got a bug bite over the weekend and went to urgent care on Monday and was diagnosed as having cellulitis on my hand and up my arm. I was prescribed an antibiotic and since I m taking the antibiotic I am feeling very fatigued and I m having heart flutters. Not sure if it s from the antibiotic or the cellulitis. The rash is now gone .
Medications are associated with side effects that may or may not occur.
If the effects of the antibiotics are intolerable then it would be best to speak to your doctor to see if it can be discontinued and if an alternative is needed.
If you have used at least 5 days, an alternative may not be necessary.
I hope this helps
