I have bronchitis and a sinus infection. On Monday, my doctor prescribed an antibiotic called "Amox/Pot Clav", or at least that is what it says on the bottle. I'm guessing it's similiar to amoxicillian. It took care of my sore throat and reduced my coughing, but it also made me so nauseous that I think I threw up a few doses and had dry heaves all Tuesday. Yesterday I called him and explained what was going on so he prescribed another antibiotic called Cephalexin (generic for Keflex). I took my first dose last night at it was fine, but this morning after taking it I'm dizzy. Not to the point of falling over, but I'm just a little "off" if you know what I mean. Enough that I don't trust myself to drive right now.
Now, it could be the antibiotics, or it could be because I can't get my ears to pop due to the sinus issue. I have been taking sinus medice and using saline spray to clear up my head but so far they haven't worked.
I've had the stomach reaction (nausea or diaheria) to antibiotics before so that doesn't surprise me, but I've never had this kind of side affect. Do you think it's that? It is listed as the first side affect on the info sheet.
