What Causes Groin Tingling After Taking Antibiotic For Sinus And Ear Infection?
I have been experiencing pins and needles feeling in my groin mostly but also other places today. I just started a new antibiotic for a sinus and ear infection. I m wondering if that is the cause. Is this an allergic reaction or do I continue the meds?

Hi,
If it is caused by drug reaction, we expect itching rather than pins and needle sensation and some rash also will be there. So in my opinion, this is not related to the drug and you can continue the same.
I could not make out why this symptom is there. But try having a good sleep at night and take a bath morning and evening- most likely this will disappear soon. Otherwise we can look further.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
