Your surgeon needs to be made aware right away of the reaction you are having before taking another dose.  You should also make the provider who is administering the medication aware of the issues you are experiencing.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

After experiencing the poor reaction to antibiotics that you mention the only thing I can recommend to you is that you visit your doctor immediately. If you cannot get into your surgeon, then I would recommend seeing your own physician so that you can make sure that you do in fact gain a more proper prescription. Good luck to you.

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

Its not normal to have IV antibiotics.  You should be on oral antibiotics.  If you are getting sick, don't put yourself at risk.  avoid the IV and ask for different oral antibiotics.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

You should see your surgeon immediately as the symptoms you are describing are not a part of normal post op recovery. Good Luck!

Steven J. Rottman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear of your post-operative issues. This is very concerning. You should be seen in an Emergency Room for evaluation. Hope this helps and good luck.
