Can sleeplessness and hallucination be side effects of medications for bacterial infection?
human
I am in Ecuador and developed a bacterial infection. I am on meds that seem to have helped greatly, accept I cannot sleep. I see images when I close my eyes and it is dark. If I keep my eyes open and not on something else, I also see images. Has the bacterial infection made my brain malfunction ?

Its possible that infection can push you in to a state of delirium where you experience visual hallucinations which will mostly resolve once infection settles.Other possibility is that of drug inducing psychosis and sleep disturbances. Both the scenarios its temporary and you will be fine once the infection settles.Regards
