PDA

View Full Version : Would this be an allergic reaction to a drug?

Once again I am posting for like the third time this week. Sorry! Anyway, tonight after once more taking my Biaxin XL I didn't get a stomach ache or a burning stomach, but my face still burned. It was like my cheeks and ears were flammin hot and that goes for about an hour or two. After that my cheeks kinda felt almost big maybe, like kinda of numb like, and my chest was kind of heavy. I know I do have an active imagination, but I was not imagining this. Is this drug just messing with my head? Or is my body not liking it? Today has been the 4th day to have taken it, and I was wondering whether I should keep taking it over the weekend ignoring everything, or if I should stop taking it...The baffling part is though, after a good few hours most all my symptoms subside and I start to feel normal again. Is it because it has passed through my body? Because I take it around 930-10pmish and I start feeling some kind of reaction at around 11pm-12am, then finally at around 3-4am I feel fine again. What's up with this? Is it all in my mind? Thanks in advance!

You seem to be reacting to the drug so see someone at urgent care or the ER and get a different antibiotic prescribe before this becomes fatal. Never ignore side effects or allergic reactions to meds as you may not make it to the hospital one of these times if the reaction becomes severe. Take from some one who has "been there, done that."
