Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Numbness in hand can have many reasons with most of them being temporary and benign. Antibiotics can cause it as well as their side effect depending on the kind of antibiotic used. I recommend scheduling a Neurological consult who can better asses your numbness and decide if there is the case to proceed with further examinations like Electromyography and nerve conduction study. Talk to your GP about this. Hope this helps, please feel free using MHC for further questions.
