How Long Does Meropenem Stay In The Body?

I have developed an allergy to meropenem after taking it a week causing all kinds of problems; headaches, yeast infection, itching and swelling, thrush. Stopped taking 8/13 and still have some of the side effects. How long does this medication stay in your body before I can look forward to this side effects going away? thanks
