Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the dizziness, pressure in head, blurred vision are not related to amoxicillin intake as its last dose was consumed 10 days before. The usual period of side effects last for around 2-3 days max in case of such antibiotics. Might be of concern to get the effects via auto immune response of Celiac disease or else.

Kindly discuss the issue with his treating physician or his internist for getting further guidelines of action and management. Till that time, give him plenty of liquids including oral rehydration salt to control his blood pressure and sugar levels.

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

Regards,
