Why I was Away for a Week

Hi so it all basically started two weeks ago when I just had a little sore throat that escalated quite slowly. From a little tickle that was annoying to not being able to drink much water without being in pain.


So we went to the afterhours to get it checked by a doctor (mainly because on Sunday my throat was insanely painful).  First we were checked over by a nurse just for the basics and to have it all written down (After waiting for quite a while). Then we were sent back to the waiting room (for not as long) the doctor called out my name we went into his office and he did a check up asked some questions. Then after a long boring talk about  how much does it hurt is it annoying (Like yes of course it is why do you think its called a sore throat). He told me I had a really bad case of tonsillitis so I had to take these pills which were called amoxicillin (Remember this name it comes into use later).
So I start taking the pills its good for the whole entire week, during the time I wasn't feeling dead I got to eat ice cream and gelato and watch YouTube the whole entire time. So it really just wasn't good for me that week, so that's why I wasn't at school for a whole week. I almost forgot to say that I also had strep throat which is the reason I got tonsillitis.


Then on Saturday I woke up all good and happy then later in the day I look down at my arms and legs and see I have spots they were kind of itchy but not much. So we went to the doctors again and they told me I was allergic to the amoxicillin they were giving me (yay even more drugs yay:( and they said I had to take even more of them but instead of the three times a day it was then two times a day with food).


It was okay for awhile I was taking less big pills but started taking an anti histamine which was stopping the redness and not much the itchiness. So I wake up the next morning and for like two seconds my breathing was hard and wheezy. So my mum gets up and says where going to the doctors but in the time it takes her to get ready. I've already cleared my air ways and are good so we stay at home for a while and then we go back.\


We didn't have to wait so long because we had been there two times already. So here is a funny story so we walk into the room to get checked over by the nurse all the nurse does is look at my face. While she's saying there is nothing wrong with me I tell her to look down (Her reaction was so funny) all she could say was "OH MY GOSH".


So then we go to the doctor and they tell be to stop all antibiotics and just wait for the rash which was my allergic reaction to the amoxicillin. So that's basically what happened to me and why I wasn't there last week.





This is what it was like






This is a treat for those of you who got this far.

  1. That must of hurt a lot but very annoying to have a allergic reaction to the very thing that helps you to get over tonsillitis
