Hi Bet

Glad you finally had the toe looked at, sorry to hear you have such a problem taking the antibiotics, sometimes I do too.

This is serious, please don't let it go! I had to look it up, so will post the thread! Get well very soon, Bet!

Hi Bet,

I hope you get into see either your family doctor, or someone ASAP. Cellulitis is NOT something that can wait. If you can't get into see anyone, I would try an Urgent Care facility, or even back to the ER.

Please keep us posted on how you are!

Hugs,

Thinking of you tonight, my friend! Hope you got on a med you can tolerate! Take care of yourself, Bet!

Hey girlfriend! You okay?

HI SK Thanks for asking,went back too doctor she said theres nonthing else to take, me i say theres got to be something,so she gives me clindamycin hcl 300 mg, go home look it up to find out it could cause heartattack like prombles,i not do need on top of this, but on the 6 going to a foot doctor maybe he will know whats up know one thing going to find me a new doctor

Maybe even a naturalist? Holistic or naturopath? Gotta do something, that is really serious, and I'm sure it's very painful!!

Does it say what percentage of people have that reaction? Sometimes it's less than 1%, but I don't know your medical history like a Dr would. Just trying to think of options for you, my friend! Just want you better very soon!
