I was weak as hell too. I stayed that way for almost 3 days until I called my doc crying. He's the one who said I was having a reaction to the penecillin and ordered another antibiotic for me. I always thought a true allergic reaction was swelling of the throat and/or welts.  That was one of those times I should have listened to my mama.  |
What you had were just side effects of th emeds, not an allergic reaction. many people think theyre allergic to this stuff and when you ask them what happens they tell you things that are just side effects of the medication. this can be important in the hospital setting a sI have given people some of these medications anyway depending on what was going on.
