I've been taking antibiotics for an abscess, there's a thread on this board about that.
I had ten days worth and have had eight. Yesterday the abscess stopped leaking and went to a&e and told it's fine.
It's still there and now a solid lump under the skin.
I'm feeling really sick and unwell which they said was antibiotics. I can't ask prescribed if I can stop them have asked GP surgery and NHS direct pharmacist but keep getting conflicting advice - basically amounted to "don't know, maybe stop or maybe not, see the prescriber" and I can't as they're away for two weeks! It was a really nasty infection. I just don't know if I can cope with another two days of these side effects of feeling really sick, dizzy and worsening of my fainting disorder.
Any ideas? Should I keep taking it because of the lump only just dispersing? I've got diabetes if that makes a difference.
Any advice welcome.
