Hello, Linda! How are you doing?

Yes, it would be best to have these symptoms checked out to be safe. There's a chance they may just be side effects, but you could be having an allergic reaction.

Medrol is classified by the FDA as a steroid and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness.

Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Has it gotten any worse?

For a reaction such as this, I would feel more confident in asking my pharmacist. My opinion only, think they are more up to date than my Dr.
