Suggest Treatment For Stomach Bug
On Thursday (4/20) and was diagnosed with a stomach bug. I was prescribed ciprofloxacin and have taken 2 pills every day since thursday. Today my neck got very stiff and then my left sholder and arm started feeling funny. This was in the side effects, but It still concerns me. Should I be worried? I have since stopped taking the medication.
