I have been feeling ery weird and dizzy lately. i just got over a sinus infection. i am taking amoxicillin 2g a day. is this a side effect of the meds?

Probably not the med: Though meds can cause dizziness..In this case, in light of the sinus infection...I usually see it coming from the fact that the sinus drainage, causes some inflammation and swelling around the opening for the eustachian tubes, and this causes the middle ear to not drain adequately, and the build up of fluid and pressure...Often leads to the dizziness.
