Help! What should I do???????

Question

Three weeks ago I discovered that I had rash on the back of my knee it didn't look good at all, after a week it was still there
I decided to go to the Doctor...he gave me strong antibiotics.
they didn't work. 2 days after I went to the emergency room and they gave me nothing even after I told them that I was very nauseus and dizzy with chest pains. They told me to stop taking the antibiotics...This happened Sunday, today it's Friday and I'm still feeling sick very nauseus with chest pain and I just can't digest my food. I feel like the doctors are useless, I don't want to spend more money and not get treated I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have had the same symptoms I feel as if I was going to drop dead and I don't know how to get help
It seems like the doctors are too busy to take the time to really listen and try to help you. My diagnosis was..Insect bites I don't beleive it! There is no poisonous insects in the area where I live and I'm not allergic to anything.???

Answer 1

It sounds like Dr thought you had a tick bite spider bite? of some kind and a red rash rxn around bite is common. Antibiotics are given to prevent possible infection of the area..I would have added some steroid cream or gone with cream only unless it really looked infected.Now it sounds like you are having rxn or side effects to the antibiotics..nausea,diarrhea,
GI pain are common things of antibiotics..chest pain ? i dont know..you will need to go back to who prescribed the medicines or you need to see another provider and get straightened out.

Answer 3

Antibiotics are for infections, remember that the next time some quack wants to load you up with them.

I suggest you see a dermatologist, as skin specialist, they should have an answer.

Answer 4

Go see a dermatologist. It sounds as though you may of had some type of virus penetrate through your skin.
