After the dentist
Just to complete the saga after my Dentist experience!
After my doctor gave me a double dose of really strong anti-biotics the infection calmed down.
The Wednesday after I had finished the tablets I suddenly came out in a rash which proceeded to get more pronounced. By the Thursday, I woke up covered from top to toe in spots and felt ill. My whole ntist,looked like I had the measles. I then went to bed and didn’t get up until Saturday afternoon. I think I slept most of the time and felt extremely tired and unwell.
Today one week later after the holiday I managed to get an appointment at the doctors.
Oh said the doctor, ‘It looks like an allergic reaction to the anti biotics!’
‘You do know that I am allergic to penicillin, don’t you?’ I said to the doctor.
‘There was penicillin in one of the antibiotics1’ he said looking at his computer screen.
‘Oh, I said’, and I left.
What I found hard to believe is that I have been with the same GP for years who knew all my medical history and he didn’t ask me whether I was allergic to anything.
I did not think about it because I felt so ill at the time and it was the last thing on my mind.
It is amazing that the whole episode could have been less complicated if the dentist had treated me correctly in the first place.
