Suggest Treatment For Anxiety,dizziness And Exhaustion

Hi, my son was prescribed Metronidazole for wisdom tooth removal. He is having serious side effects such as anxiety/nervousness, dizzy, light headed, nauseated and very tired/exhausted. He s now ceased taking the tablets for three days, however still has the symptoms(meds - 3 x 200mg daily). How can I help him recover to normal again? Thanking you, Sally.

Do not worry. These effects will wear off. How old is your son? Is it possible that he consumed alcohol while on Metronidazone. If he has been consuming alcohol, then ask him to avoid it for some time. If not, just wait and these effects will go away on their own.
I hope this answer helps you.
