Sitting at urgent care with Joel

He came home from work with a very bad headache and pressure. I knew it had to be bad because he rarely leaves work for anything.

So we are at urgent care. They say he has a sinus infection and pressure but are trying to figure out the best way to treat him since he had a major allergic reaction to antibiotics last time he took them.

People allergic to specific antibiotics use alternative classes of antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, macrolides, or tetracyclines, to treat infections. Doctors may also use, under close supervision, a process called desensitization to allow temporary tolerance of the medication. For treating the allergic reaction itself, patients often use antihistamines, steroids, or epinephrine (EpiPen) for severe reactions.

@Lilnonames he's had to reaction to two different ones so they are treating this with steroids and a nose spray
