Went to an Urgent Care for an upper respiratory infection that had me coughing up plenty of phlegm in the mornings and had an audible rattle in my chest.

Went to an Urgent Care for an upper respiratory infection that had me coughing up plenty of phlegm in the mornings and had an audible rattle in my chest. Also had concerns of a rash in one armpit being a reaction to using Mucinex DM which the PA said was not causing a reaction. Was prescribed Azithromycin for the upper respiratory infection and an over the counter yeast infection cream for the rash in my armpit. After the first day of using this drug, noticed hives all over my thighs that evening. After day 3 of this drug, hives seem worse on my thighs and have developed on my arms and have severe itching. My symptoms have not changed at all with the upper respiratory issue. Going to call Urgent Care tomorrow and report my first known drug allergy from this five day antibiotic.

Was out with strep a while back and I am allergic to amoxicillin, so I usually get screwed when it comes to antibiotics. Wen't to see the doc, he prescribed me this. Had to take one daily for 5 days, by day two I was already feeling 10000 times better than I was the previous week. 10/10 would take if I came down with strep again. I also didn't have a problem with any side effects.

Went to the doctor for a sore throat and cough with sinus pressure that didn't get better after a week of OTC's. Doctor said I had acute sinusitis. He prescribed a Z-pak for me and I was skeptical. I have IBS and have had gastric bypass surgery, so antibiotics are hit or miss with me. Every single antibiotic I have taken for either UTI, tonsillitis or a tooth infection I have gotten stomach cramps and diarrhea. With the z-pak, I'm experiencing all of the above with the added bonus of nausea. I took the first dose (2 pills) with no problem, and no initial problem after the 2nd dose (1 pill) until my stomach pain woke me up at 4 am. My sinus infection seems to have gone away, it wasn't severe in the first place and I wonder if I actually needed a z-pak? The GI upset was not mild and I rather deal with the sinus issues. I think I'm going to invest in a neti-pot and some good nasal sprays from now on.
