Certainly not past: It's hard to say if each dose will cause this or any side effect, but it will not last past your use. Talk w/ the doctor who prescribed it. There might be a good alternative. Don't just stop taking it. Either get a substitute or bear up knowing it will be short term. Do things that calm you and get over your infection. Best!
