For Bacterial Skin Infection "I went to the emergency room due to a hot, burning, stinging, itchy rash on my hand with what seemed to be white welts. I was also experiencing some nausea and felt weak. The doctor examined my hand and diagnosed me with cellulitis. He prescribed me Augmentin, which he knew I was allergic to. At least I noticed it before I took it. He had to change my antibiotic to Bactrim. I was given one dose at the hospital because no pharmacies were open on New Year's Day. That night I felt a slight headache. The night seemed extremely longer than usual. Each hour seemed like two or three. I didn't think the night was going to end. I was up every few hours with a dry mouth. I also had a dream that was frightening, it was of a friend stabbing me."
