Stop Medication.: You probably have a sensitivity, I would probably contact your PCP to see if you can obtain a different medication.

Communicate: First, you are in midst of taking antibiotic, and stopping suddenly can cause your infection to flare, but also could lead to drug resistant organisms. Second, you need to discuss your reactions with your doctor. Third, you may be able to handle side effects by taking after small amount of food, or adding ginger root 1 gram 2-3 times daily.
