Sharp pain in left side ribs after taking Erythromycin

Hi everyone.

About 2 weeks ago i started feeling unwell with the common cold symptoms (stuffy head, sore throat, headaches etc) and after still getting no better i went to the drs on Monday who said i had a nasty ear infection and he gave me antibiotics called Erythromycin due to the fact i am allergic to Penicillin.

I started taking these on Monday afternoon and then on Thursday (yesterday) i started with a bad belly and going to the loo several times with diarrhea but the thing thats is really worrying is i also started on Thursday with a sharp pain in my left ribs that comes and goes. It feels like a stitch and last around seconds and it occurs every 15mins or so. I also started feeling light headed. I am still bunged up aswell with stuffy nose.

I am really worried the pain is my heart.

I have rang the drs reception this morning and left a message but not heard owt back yet. They said it could be tea time before i do.

Whilst typing this i am getting the sharp pain, its like a really sharp stitch down my left side.

My anxiety is really high cos of it.

Aby advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
