Hello, Wayne! How are you doing?

When it comes to antibiotics, it isn't necessarily strength, but rather their effectiveness at eradicating whatever bacteria you're dealing with that matters.

That said, I have no way of knowing which one they may try next, if this one doesn't work. They may even prescribe a combination, or decide that you need some high doses administered via IV.

Have they cultured the bacteria, so you know what it is?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
