75 dollars and 2 hours later, strep throat is confirmed. It was an interesting appointment, and if I didn't wish I was dead, I would tell you all about it. (note: I do not really wish I was dead. I just wish I was asleep.)
Maybe when the antibiotics kick in I will tell the story. Until then, I bid you adieu as the MOG has the wee ones corralled and I should really sleep
What kind of antibiotics did the dr give you? Amoxicillan? I think I brought Strep to your house when we visited. I got sick that Saturday and I have been on antibiotics since I have been home. Fever Headach and THROAT burn yukky feeling and scratchy coughing......
Amoxicillin 500 mg for 3 weeks has not kicked it yet.....
I hope you feel better but I really want to know what you are taking..
be careful with those abx VG = if weak abx, the strep bug grows stronger as it figures out how to outsmart the pharmaceuticals
jess - hope you feel better and that all your family's germs stay in your own bloodstreams and then are victimized by the proper adminstration of the abx - we don't need strep down here no matter how much you miss all of us
I am taking Latino Amoxicillon 500 mg 3 times a day ever since I have returned from KC.
I was taking it twice a day for the first 8 days. Felt well and stopped... 4 days later thought I was dead.. so I started again with 3 a day....and yogurt.....
Still have headach every day and throat sore off and on..... and not kissing anyone anymore... ever again in my entire life..... so there you go...
O my poor baby!

I am taking Cephalexin because I am allergic to penicillin.
ReplyDelete3 500 mg capsules a day for 10 days
ReplyDeletealso, FYI: the shelf life of amoxicillin is 2 years max, when kept at perfect temperature
