Hi,
The antibiotics are for typhoid. Side effects would last for a few months only. The cause of weakness or dizziness (vertigo) needs to be investigated in detail. It could be due to severe anemia, refractory error of eyes, some sinus or ear problem raised blood pressure, cervical spondylitis. Get a heart check up in detail. Please consult a physician for primary evaluation and needful referral for specific management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
