Hello,

I would explain that her symptoms could be related to antibiotic adverse effects. Anyway, I would recommend checking vitamin D and calcium plasma levels for possible deficiency. Inflammation tests (complete blood count, ESR, PCR) should be checked too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
