What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue While On Antibiotics For Ear Pain?
I ve been dizzy & very tired on occasion for approx. 10 days, saw my PCP last week with ear pain & he dx me with a mild ear infection & put me on antibiotics. Not much ear pain the past 3 days, but still dizzy and very tired. What else could be going on?
Since you are having an ear infection and been prescribed antibiotics there is a possibility that you feel weak and lethargic. Ear pain at times lead to dizziness. There is nothing serious to worry about. Take all your medications as prescribed by your doctor and drink lots of oral fluids and healthy diet. You shall be fine soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Suhas Chauhan
