Start with your primary care physician (or the provider who prescribed the antibiotic) and describe your symptoms. These would not be typical for someone on antibiotics. It is worth taking care of this problem now.

This is not a common side effect but should go away in a few days after stoppage of medicine. Let your MD know for next time. Hope you feel better
