Mostly on my ankles, hands and torso! What's going on??! I've been on an antibiotic for about 1.5 weeks. But I also tried some saline drops yesterday. Do you think it's a reaction from the two? I'm also taking my lexapro, which the doc said was fine to take with the antibiotics. Ugh. I'm so exhausted from all of this! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

I think it can happen with other Antibiotics too, so that would be my guess. Saline is very pure and harmless---as far as I know doesn't react with other things. -------------------- Tracy, George and Daniel (11/25/02)

You got it!! I just got back from the GP and she said it's a delayed reaction to amox!

And I just happened to get a cold on top of taking it!!

So she wanted to put me on a steroid, but I said no since I'm BF. So all I can do is sit in an oatmeal bath and hope it goes away. As far as the sinus thing, just a bad cold this time. No more antibiotics for me!

Ugh, I'm so sick of not being healthy!!
