That's what I get for being allergic to Penicillin. Now I just need to find a real doctor and demand stronger yeast infection causing pills.

Allergic to Pen as well because it makes me barfy. There's no antibiotic or something similar that can help the strep?


...without the blue waffle fallout?

The WalMart faux doctor prescribe Azithromycin twice, because my symptoms had totally gone away the first time.

What my wannabe doctor sister said is that the first round probably wiped out the weakling bacteria, and then left the resistant to thrive and prosper and it's now recolonizing my tonsils.

LOVELY

I don't have a real doctor yet, since St. Mary's fired my super awesome doctor. Lord knows why. This is crappy. I work at a preschool so I'm going to go a doctor tomorrow if I can find one, and lose a good chunk of money and know I probably infected teh childrenz today and yesterday.

Are you sure you have an actual allergy and not just an adverse reaction? It's a common misunderstanding and needlessly blocks off a large category of antibiotics for a lot of people.

There is a test now too, to find out if your initial reaction was allergy or not.

My throat closed up once when I took it.

Is that an allergy?

I'd say most definitely yes... the ones that are iffy are the ones that cause a rash.

It happened when I was 4 and I had a rash. My mom said it was probably a heat rash since she let me dress myself for school. I'll talk to them tomorrow

I'd suggest getting a definitive answer which would probably require a skin test for you. Putting down penicillin under drug allergies has a lot of consequences in terms of treatment for a lot of common illnesses and most physicians aren't going to gamble on a vague answers...

I had strep only once. It was decades ago but the way I remember it was like trying to swallow broken glass. Never want to go through that again.

If you still get a rash(from the penicillin), don't dismiss it as nothing. Severe reactions can lead to skin peeling off like you were a severe burn victim,(it is rare though). Never dismiss a rash, it can happen with a lot of medications.

*if you're not sure if you're allergic, it is best to get tested rather than remove it as an option right out, like suggested above.

lol, why didn't they do a strep test?

i found it much easier to fake a fever. when the nurse left the room you rub the thermometer on your pant leg, but be careful because one idiot made his go to 107 degrees.

They gave me erythromycin and did a culture. I'll have a test performed when I'm all better.

I used to get strep every year a couple times, so they took my tonsils out at 4-5 years old.

Get your tonsils out, it's worth it (as someone who got strep 2 times a year since I was like 6).

they would do a strep test but i would get a day or 2 home before we got the results. my mom didn't care about fevers, if i wasn't throwing up i was going to school
