New Medication?

Question

I started new medication today- more steroids, anti-biotic and anti inflammatory. I HATE taking medication cause it doesn’t seem to go down well. But i have taken them. 6 steroids and 3 anti inflammatory and one of the other stuff. Its making me feel a little worse. My face hurts for some reason and my eyes are stingy. My tummy is in more pain. I had a rash before i took them and now i am itchy all over but i cant take stuff to help the itching cause it makes me sick. Should i keep taken them till i see the doc?

Answer 1

itching is a sign that you are having an allergic reaction.
id stop taking them.

Answer 2

You should call your doctor as soon as possible, tomorrow morning if the office is closed. Let them know exactly what you are experiencing. They may change your meds or they may tell you it's common and to wait it out. The steroids make you retain water which is probably why your face hurts, and they can cause itchiness. You are probably having stomach pains due to the anitbiotics. Do you take your meds with food? If not, try this. Sometimes, if the meds are strong enough, then CAN make you feel worse for a while. Your doctor will be able to advise you better than I can.

Answer 3
