Infected Ankle

[Teallaura]

I've been on Augmentin since Friday but the swelling is still bad, the mobility reduced and I am considering buying stock in Tylenol since I am keeping them in business. The wounds themselves are smaller and I can walk better but I still don't feel well and it can be very painful to get up after a rest.

I am beginning to think I need to go back to the doctor...

Cat Scratch Fever is a kind of Staph infection. Since MRSA is a concern and a public health nuisance you might want to have a culture done. However, Augmentin can take time if its another type of Staphyloccocus bacteria. One thing, you don't want it to go septic. Also did you get discharged with wound care instructions? Did he lance it and let it drain with a sterile bandage? those things are really important.

How did you hurt your ankle? How long is your prescription for?

A good friend of mine got it and it ended up infecting a valve in his heart. Eventually, he passed away as result but that was over a decade and three "permanent" pace makers later.

He looked at it less than thirty seconds - never touched me. I got a presciption and a sheet that explained when to freak.

I stepped back onto cat who didn't take it well. Nailed both sides of the tendon.

I chased the bunch and they are all lucky I couldn't catch them...

The first time I came down with Bell's Palsy I lived on Aspirin and Paracetamol. Man o man!

Sorry. But I just want to make it clear that while incredibly rare it still shouldn't be ignored.

How much time is left on your Augmentin prescription?

l don't think it will let me.

3:00 am and I just took my last tylenol.

[Teallaura]

How much time is left on your Augmentin prescription?

3 - 4 days, l would guess.

No insurance.

Have you looked into what's available in Obamacare?

You just went to an immediate care center, didn't you? You need to go to a real doctor. And I bet the IC doc told you to rest and stay off your feet and you didn't listen, right?

Your life is more important than a job.
