Brief Answer:
Please, report this to your doctor!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this sore throat and the kidney stones that you have been battling with. I hope you soon gain full control of your health.
Feeling dizzy after taking your medications is not such a severe side effect or drug interaction that warrants the medications to be discontinued. I have taken a look at the medications and there is really no potentially fatal drug interaction between them. Also, the dizziness is not typical of any allergy. Considering all this evidence, I will recommend that you continue your medications as there seems to be nothing too severe on the line right now.
However, inform your doctor of this dizziness. Should it get worse, seek immediate medical attention to get this looked into further to make sure we are not missing out on anything serious.
In all, continue the medications, inform your doctor and seek further immediate medical care should you witness any more concerning symptoms. For now, I am confident and comfortable it is safe to continue your treatment without ant great fear.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification should need be.
Please, report this to your doctor!

thank you this first time I taking this antibiotic for strep throat and i have been drink a lot water .so why is that I'm get little dizzy. and light head and I have been eating
Brief Answer:
It is a minor side effect!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.
Please, this is a side effect and not caused by anything that you are doing wrong. However, this is inherent to the drug itself. It would disappear after you are done with the treatment. should tis not be the case, then we may want to look at other possible causes of dizziness. However, considering other causes when the history and evidence is more suggestive of this current medication is not the best of decisions at this time.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much and feel free to keep the discussion going on.

so I be worried I have been having chills snice 9:30 AM and i told the on call doctor I saw he did not say anything.
Brief Answer:
See below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am so sorry to hear about these chills that you have been having? What have your temperatures been during these chill episodes? If you have not been feeling any better taking these medications or the symptoms getting worse, I will suggest you go back for a more detailed treatment evaluation and further investigations. I hope we are not missing out on something here. It is not normal to feel even worse while on treatment. It does not sound right and needs to be looked into.
I wish you well.
