Ow! Ow! Ow! (Medicine Stings!)

[Teallaura]

A month ago I was bitten by (I believe) a brown recluse. I delayed going to the doctor (didn't want to) until my friends on FB screamed at me. Antibiotics made me feel A LOT better, having little to do with the wound. The wound is healing well and I see the doctor again in the morning. So basically, I'm fine.

But the medicine is stinging like crazy! OWWWWW!!!!

Okay, babyish tirade over now...

Still stings - oww!

Antibiotics stinging?

Dear Teallaura,

You are an idiot for not going to the hospital right away.

Your friend,
Sparko.

Dear Sparky,

I was really sick and sitting up for more than a few minutes was really hard.

The medicine is a topical that's used for burns. Just changed it - OWWW!!!!

That should have been your first clue. Call 911.

Have you tried adding a spoonful of sugar?

Have you tried adding a spoonful of sugar?

Never mind that it is for medicines taken orally.
