I can understand that I'm in the same boat hopefully you'll get better soon. I pray that you will cuz with an open fasciotomy trust me I wish to God I had some more antibiotics right now but I'll be all right I'll head to the ER if it gets bad I hope you do well stay safe and sleep tight

Take some painkillers along, try to take sips of water and eat smth dry and salty like saltines. It's important you try to keep the antibiotics in because you don't want the infection to spread to your blood or lose a limb . If you need to go to the hospital you must go , ur health is your priority rn. I hope it passes soon with the meds

Doxy is a broad spectrum antibiotic and can produce go symptoms, but it is a bit early for that. You might want to add probiotics.

If you are infected with MRSA you may need a heavier approach to therapy.

@Unefilletrescurieuse one dr said cellulites, other said spider bite..really dont know. If its worse in 3 days or get a fever, both drs said go to ER

@CloudAngel80 it really makes no difference. If you never saw a spider, it is less likely to be a spider bite. Regardless cellulitis is a skin infection, and needs therapy. It looks bad enough that I would likely have suggested hospitalization.

@CloudAngel80 Is this a large area and with pitting edema?

Antibiotics are supposed to be taken with food.Make sure you eat something or drink milk

Also, antibiotics do not stop pain.They stop infection

@dale74 Good call.

RosaMarie · 46-50, F

Did they suggest taking the medicine with food?

@RosaMarie YOU tagged ME to say

@SomeMichGuy Might want to try to eat a few about 15 to 30 minutes before your next dose and a few more with the med. And plenty of water. You should be peeing regularly, every couple of hours, and except for just after waking, your pee should be light in color.

I believe you meant to tag the OP.

That's why I replied

@RosaMarie Ummmm...no such need.

as I am not taking her meds or using saltines...or anything like that.

@SomeMichGuy Could have just said that. I fixed it.

@RosaMarie ...I did just say that.

I thought you were just doing you.

Why are you shopping two different doctors

CloudAngel80 · 41-45, F

@dale74 2 different drs looked at it at urgent care..dr 1 said spider bite..his colege in training a nurse practicing said cellulitis..so its them who chose to both look at me
