A little over a week ago I started having tonsillitis symptoms. I then went to the doctor last Wednesday and she prescribed me penicillin. I thought it was 250mg tablets she prescribed of which I was supposed to take two, twice a day.
After I got home I realised that they were 500mg, but they said take two, twice a day. My tonsillitis got better reasonably quickly, but now I don't feel so great. I developed a bit of a rash (most of which has disappeared again) on my feet, in my mouth on the palm of my hands and a little bit on my legs. But much worse than that, I've been itchy. Just everywhere, on my feet, inside my stomach, in my ears on my legs, etc.
Today I'm feeling reasonably good, but I've got a cough which is quite annoying and a runny nose.
I haven't slept well in the past few nights at all. I find it very hard to go to sleep.
The exact medication in question is Abbocillin -VK or Phenoxymethylpenicillin.
I haven't been able to go and see my GP because of work and I'm on day 7 of 10 days so I don't know if I can just stop taking them.
