It's good you saw a specialist and tests have been taken to rule out anything serious. It is unusual to have effects lasting this long. How long antibiotics stay in the body depends on several things. The dose, the length of therapy, the half-life of the drug, renal and hepatic function and the individual's metabolism all contribute to the amount of time antibiotics last in the body. Usually, antibiotics are out of the body completely about 3–4 days after a treatment period of 7–10 days except for sulfonamides, which may last longer. Side effects from antibiotics can last for several days after, for some.
