I'm having a severe allergic reaction to a sulfa drug. How long will the sid!
Question: I'm having a severe allergic reaction to a sulfa drug!. How long will the side effects last!?
On Christmas eve I was prescribed Septra generic for a Urinary Tract Infection!. I was given a weeks worth and finished it!. After I finished, I started having allergic reactions!. I broke out in hives that are just now starting to go away, but they weren't the problem!. My digestive system was hit hard by this drug, I have a constant pain in my left side, most of the time I feel nauseous, and I seem to only defecate mostly mucous and blood!. I went to the doctor a week ago, and he gave me Nexium, which doesn't seem to be doing much at all!. I have another appointment in two days, but something tells me they aren't going to be able to do much!. It's been 3 weeks so far, and I'm at the end of my wits!. How much longer will I have to go through this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Some antibiotics can cause a condition called pseudomembranous colitis (google this for more info and to check your symptoms)!. It's caused by an overgrowth of stronger "bad" bacteria because the antibiotics killed off the weaker bacteria and the "good" bacteria your body needs!. It is mostly bloody, mucousy stool that smells incredibly bad!. If you have this, your doc really needs to listen up and treat it! You will have to take another course of antibiotics to cure it, if that's what you have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
