Cat bite/scratch infection, can't take antibiotics?, what now?


Yesterday my cat/s scratched and bit me badly while I was bathing them (they messed in the carrier). Today I feel dizzy and like I'm tripping a little, I can't concentrate well, and I fell all weird in the head, esp when I talk. I am allergic to pennicilin, and I'm not supposed to take most? any? antibiotics (due to candidemia/invasive candidiasis/fungemia). Any idea what I should do? My husbands doctor told him, his wounds were badly infected or something?, and could've been fatal, and that he should've gone to the ER imediately yesterday. He is now on many huge antibiotic "horsepills", but I have no idea what to do, and I feel so bad =(

It's not "a little yeast", I have a suppressed immune system, and it is throughout my body, and also possibly fatal if not controlled. Also, it's not just pennicilin that I can't take, it's most or all?
whatever can feed the yeast. =(

OhmyGod! Get to the hospital! Are you nuts? Who's there with you? Your husband? Tell him to get his coat on and drive you to the hospital now. You need some form of prohylaxis against the crap that was on your cats claws. Cryptosporidia is extremely nasty. You do not want that. Go. Now.

go to the doctor, immediately. even if you're allergic to penicillin, there are other antibiotics that they can prescribe, if needed.

try putting lots of neosprin on it...if that doesn't do anything i would fo to the e.r...they have many meds you can take if you are allergic to pennisilyn..

I assume you were both wounded in the same incident by the same cats. If the wounds/infections are possibly fatal, what does a little yeast mean? Screw 'I might get yeast" thinking, and act on the potential to save your life.

take nystatin with the antibiotic to keep the candida in check. ask your doctor.

did you get bit or was is your husband????????????
in any case, clean well with soap and water and swab with rubbing alcohol. if it swells up too much and redness occurs around it, go to the doc.

keep your wounds clean and dry. drink lots of water. try herbal teas that help your immune system. rest. eat healthy foods. if symptoms dont leave or they get worse go to the er. make sure they know about your condition and antibiotics.

Infection = Bad.
Allergy = Bad.

Go to doctor/hospital. Get treatment for infection.
Advise them of your allergies.
Let them Do Their Job and find an appropriate medication for you.

go to the er room now
