What Causes Dizziness While On An Antibiotic For Swollen Gum?

Hi , i got my tooth taken out while it was still swollen (gum swollen) they took out my tooth. So after that , they prescribed us to buy antibiotics and pain reliever. I've been drinking the antibiotics for about 5 days now. Im supposed to drink it 3 times a day but after taking the first one im already dizzy like super dizzy and feel like puking.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain dizziness and nausea after taking antibiotics seems to be a side effect antibiotics and temporary and will resolve once you stop taking the medication..

As you have already taken antibiotics for 5 days, it is enough and you can stop taking antibiotics after consulting your treating dentist, however you can continue painkillers if there is pain..

In case if you are dizzy it will also be advisable to avoid driving of using any other forms of machinaries to prevent any injuries or accidental episodes due to dizziness..
Take appropriate rest and a nutritious light diet..
Drink plenty of water to remove toxins from the body..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
