| should i go to the ER or wing it til the am? I woke up monday morning with a bladder infection so I called my OB/GYN who called in an antibiotic called Macrobid into the pharmacy for me, well I've been taking it and now it hurts to breath, my eyes are itchy, Im breaking out in little itchy bumps, very nauseous.. I was just going to discontinue it and call her in the am for a new Rx but the chest pain is getting a little worse. It's not awful just uncomfortable.. I really dont want to pay the 100.00 copay so If its ok to wait until the morning I would rather do that but Im scared its going to get worse, I cant talk right my tongue is a little swolen and my lips are numb but I dont feel like I've gotten too much worse over the past few hours... maybe it will subside over night? what would you do

| I know that 100 dollars is alot and we dont really want to waste money BUT I think you should go in ASAP. 100 bucks could save your life right now. I dont mean to sound dramatic but you really should get checked out, it could be nothing serious but you just dont know and I wouldnt take that risk. I hope you do go and get checked out.

| I understand where your coming from, i just think its a slight allergic reaction if it gets any worse I will go in asap I promise, Im ok I think, Im on here posting away So I must not feel that bad.. I think what worries me is the shortness of breath but its not that bad unless I breathe in really deep. I just wanted some opionions Ive never had an allergic reaction before so I dont know exactly how quickly in can progress

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I hope you are on your way to the er. I had a kidney infection and the medicine they gave me was a sulfa drug and I found out I was allergic to sulfa drugs. I had a bad reaction and had to go on medicine to couteract it. Hope everything is ok.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm a nurse, and I think you need to go in - drug reactions can turn severe, and even life threatening, just depending. You are clearly having an allergic response. I would call an Urgent Care immediately - tell them you're experiencing an allergic reaction to a drug - ask them if you can come in, or are they just going to send you to an ER anyway.
