What Causes Painful And Tingling In Legs While On Medication For Strep?

I just started antibiotic for strep today and I have had it for 5 days. I have run a fever constantly during that time. I just woke up and went to get more water, became extremely nauseous and went to lie down on tile. When I did, my body and arms began a very painful tingling, I couldn t move them. It felt like they were so swollen I could barely bend my fingers and my appendages were so very heavy. It also began to move into my legs and got as far as my knees. My husband put cool rags all over me. It lasted for about 3-4 minutes. Maybe longer. Now all my joints hurt.

Hi
This means you are either intolerant or have adverse effects of the medication.It should be stopped if your treating doctor agrees..if I was your treating physician I would advise stopping all medications, review with some blood tests, CBC, ESR, allergen tests, and switching over to other medications
Seek another opinion
Thanks
