arrrrrgh
Apparently when the zithromax was out of my system (you take it for 5 days, it works for 5 more), I started feeling sick again. That was yesterday, where by lunchtime I had that odd not-quite-dizzy that happens when you're coming down with something, progressing to fever by early afternoon and sore throat by evening. So today's doctor visit started with me explaining the full strep time-line and ended with a different set of antibiotics, because the strep is still there. She took a swab to do a full culture with sensitivities to be sure this isn't a resistant strain of strep (does that freak y'all out as much as it does me? Yeah).
Poor Pip has an awful rash which was finally diagnosed as guttate psoriasis, which is associated with strep, so he's a week into a course of amoxicillin. If my strep ends up being resistant, we're going to have to get new meds for him, too.
Ready to be all done with the sick now, kthxbye.
