Should Child S Antibiotic Dose Be Continued Despite Dizziness?

My 9 yr old daughter just finished a 5-day Z-pack yesterday for an ear infection. However, she now has a 102 degree fever & a deep cough. She is complaining of being dizzy & at one point mentioned she couldn t feel her legs. Do I take her back to the doctor given she just completed an antibiotic or just continue giving her cough medicine & Tylenol?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Though I never expect an illness to be totally resolved after a z-pack, I do expect major improvement. This spent seem to be the case here. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a recheck.
