Antibiotic overdose
I have been on two courses of antibiotics for a lung infection. The first one being Klacid and the second one which I finished yesterday being Ketek. I woke up this morning with the most severe headache. My one ear is aching feels deaf and burning hot. It feels like the ocean is in my head. I feel off balance and just sickly. I have a fever too.
Can the antibiotcs have caused a secondary infection?
