So I posted last week that I had pneumonia. I was taking oral antibiotics for it, and Monday was my last day of them. This morning when I woke up, I was covered in a rash. Its just red blotches everywhere and its not really itchy or anything. I called telehealth and they suggested it could by an allergy to the antibiotics. They said to see a doctor.
So, I called my doctor, I can't get an appointment until next week. I went to the walk-in clinic and they wouldn't see me because the dr there was from my dr's clinic.
Should I just suck it up and assume that I am allergic to the antibiotics (apparently you can have a reaction up to 3 days after stopping them) or should I call my dr back and demand to be seen or should I go to emerg? It feels stupid to be stressing over a rash, but at the same time I don't want to pass anything on to my kids. WWYD?
Re: WWYD?
I don't understand why the walk-in wouldn't see you. That doesn't make any sense to me. Can you go to a different walk-in? Or at a time when a different doctor is there?
Totally ridiculous.
I'm glad the rash is going away on its own.
