Lethargic after baytril

Hi everyone,

My bearded dragon Henry has been treated recently for a respiratory infection. He had a course of baytril for 2 weeks. While he was on them he still ate fine and was fairly active. He's had probiotics too to help his belly.
But now 1 week after finishing the antibiotics he is really lethargic and basking all day. Not eating very much and just not himself. Not scratching to come out etc...
So I'm getting concerned. He hasn't got a black beard and his sypltoms seem to have gone. He had the odd heavy breathe now and then hut he's not coughing or wheezing anymore at all.
I'm hoping this is just his way of making himself feel better and he will perk up soon. Has anyone had anything similar or can reassure me that it's normal?

Thanks

The only thing that I can think of is impaction. When this happens they won’t eat as much or not at all. And they will be very inactive. also if the humidity or temps have changed all of a sudden that could be somthing to. Please send a pic of the full setup

104 F basking, 89 ish on warm end, 82 on cool end. Temps are correct. Enclosure looks fine. I dont know what is going on... just trust your gut if you think something is wrong better to be safe than sorry... but also take advice from the "experts" on here
