What Causes Weakness After Taking Antibiotics For Ear Infection?

My 3 year old son has had an ear infection he had been on antibiotics since Wednesday and hasn t complained of it since. Today he woke up and just wants to lay around kinda lethargic. You pick him up and he lays his head right down doesn t want to talk. He s now sleep. Should I be concerned? Thank you

Hi....this is not due to antibiotics. Ear infection can be a harbinger of central nervous system infection and I suggest you get back to your pediatrician regarding this. This is not usual in ear infections.
