Hello
Thanks for your query.

I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.

As you have mentioned you had sore throat and took medication for that, sore throat usually will be viral in nature and it does not require antibiotics, it will be self limiting.

Sore throat is usually associated with generalized weakness, along with that you also had your period. I think both of these are responsible for your dizziness.

I advice you to take plenty of water and have regular meals and rest. Complete the course of antibiotic which you are on and wait for few days you will be fine.

I advice if it persists kindly record your blood pressure even high BP is responsible for dizziness.

Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Regards

Hi welcome to health care magic forum,

Chance of Post antibiotic dizziness after compelition of treatment is less likely.

If due to antibiotic side effect than it could have happened after 2 or 3 dosages of medication.

Your period may be a cause . Sometime premenstrual symptoms may give a dizzy spell because of hormonal imbalance.

Deficiency of multivitamins may cause dizziness too but in long term. Less likely if discontinued for a short duration.

In my opinion You should take a bed rest ,diet in time and drink glucose mixed water .

If no relief you should visit an medicine specialist for a blood pressure check up and routine blood test for haemoglobin and blood sugar level.

regards.
