im currently on my 4th day with biaxin. i can say this is the worst ive ever been sick. the dr said i had acute pharyngitus and this would clear up the infection and to take it for 10 days. so far i think the infection has spread to my lower throat, my right ear and who knows where else so far. im in so much pain it hurts to swallow water, im dehydrated, havent eaten anything except a half a bowl of soup and icy pops in the last 5 days, and im begining to wonder if this stuff is gonna kill me!?! ive thrown up a few times, i have a horrible metalic taste in my mouth, the right side of my neck seems to be effected the worse. im scared to go through with the full 10 day treatment but im not sure what else to take.
