Risks Using Another Antibiotic

Updated

I have a very small hole in my back with little drainage,Dr. Put me on these for 30 days.I also had a piccline for a year with vancomycin, put me on doxycycl but had side effects. Should I even bother taking these? P.s. I have had 4 back surgeries in a year, this all stemmed from those!!!

Hello, Joan! How are you?

Actually, the fact that he is having you use different ones is a good thing, so the bacteria can't build up antibiotic resistance so easily.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi,after the doxycl they put me on bactrim, same prob!!! I've had my back glued on numerous occasions also. Right now I am on no meds for it. My family Dr. Thinks I should get a second opinion, what do you think?! The glue obviously doesn't work.I've had a wound care Dr. Tell me I could have this hole the rest of my life..any ideas? P.s. finding a bandaid to stay on is quite funny!!
