Yet again I have a water infection. On Thursday I was prescribed 500mg of cefalexin to be taken three times a day for 7 days. I took two on Thursday and the full three yesterday. Last night I woke up with horrific sweating, feeling dizzy and nausea. Could this be down to the antibiotics? I haven’t taken any today but I’m worried that the infection will get worse but due to the Christmas period, my dr’s aren’t open until 27th Dec. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi there, the only thing I can suggest would be to take half a tablet 3 times a day and see how you get on like that, it may just be enough to keep things at bay until 27th without making you feel to nauseous/dizzy, Of course keep drinking plenty of water throughout the day, sorry I can't be of any more help.

I would seriously take your temperature and ring 111 (if you’re in the UK). I had Sepsis this year and it really frightened me. If your temp is high you should take paracetamol to get it down
