Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness and fatigue while on Unasyn for blood infection . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like ear infection , condition like meniere's disease , food poisoning , heart problem or anxiety disorder . The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine like Unasyn ,so consult doctor who prescribed this medicine . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe substitute . I would suggest you to stay calm , avoid bending forward , avoid food like nuts and sea food , drink plenty of fluid and drink green tea thrice a day . If condition doesn't get better then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan of ear , examine with otoscope , rotatory chair test and balance test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like gentamycin , antiemetic drug ,anti inflammatory along with vestibular therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
