Adverse reaction to Td shot or cat bite?

Hi,
Four months ago I was bitten by a cat.  The next day I received a course of Augmenten and a tetnus booster.  A week later I woke up extremely dizzy (not spinning like vertigo, more just exaggerated movement occuring around me).  Since that time, I continue to have chronic dizziness, occasonal nauseau and spontaneous vomiting along with headaches.  I have had an MRI, which was clear in addition to a ENG which showed that my vestibular system is working correctly.  I did try some VRT for the dizzyness, but that did not help.  The dizziness become more severe the more physical activity I do, especially any head movement or getting up and down.  I also have moments of brain fog and exhaustion.  Prior to this, I was a very healthy and fit 41 year old.  I was wondering if it could be either an adverse reaction to the tetnus booster or the cat bite.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Could your problems be a reaction to Augmenten?

In my opinion, I think it was the Augmentin vs the Tetanus booster.  

Also, I think you are experiencing Labyrinthitis and need more testing than just an ENG and an MRI.  

Any medications ordered for the symptoms, i.e. Antivert, Phenergan?
