Probably not: You obviously had a serious infection, to require such prolonged treatment with those antibiotics. The residual effects of the infection are a far more likely explanation than the antibiotics for your current symptoms. Or perhaps another health problem that led to the infections. But not the antibiotics. Discuss with your doctor(s). Good luck!
