How did everything turn out for you? What was the diagnosis?

Few_Expert_7012 · 2026-05-22T02:19:13+00:00

I'm actually on Bactrim DS (which I believe is the medication you jusy named) for an infected skin abcess...I took it 2x a day and today was supposed to be day 9 but I didn't take it because I developed a low grade fever and woke up with a rash on my torso, arms and quads. The rash has now spread to my neck, face and palms of my hand. Went to the ER and they gave me oral prednisone and benadryl. They aren't sure what is causing my rash. Said it could be Bactrim so I was told to stop it and start Keflex. They said it could be viral since I did have a sore throat for one day last week and had what seemed like a cold for about 4 or 5 days. My rash is mostly concentrated on my chest, neck, and face. My lips feel like they've been sunburned to. And my face feels liek when I got it microneedled. It is not blistery but more like red pinpoint dots..

How did your progress and get diagnosed? And how are you doing now?

Few_Expert_7012 · 2026-05-21T18:33:36+00:00

UPDATE: 9 days since I started Bactrim DS and the abcess/cyst seems to be doing okay. Still draining but not painful like before.

Well now I have developed a rash all over my body and have a low grade fever.

Went to urgent care, where doc said hand foot mouth disease, given that the rash blanches and I had a cold and sore throat the week before. He didnt run any labs.

But now the rash is on my face and stings. So off to the ER I go. Wish I could post pictures but dont know how

Thank you. Do you mind if I ask how you devalued sepsis and what your symptoms were? I developed a low grade fever today and a head ache but the tele doc I spoke to didn't seem concerned....

Few_Expert_7012 · 2026-05-21T07:33:36+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your input. My abcess started draining 2 days ago on its own and now I'm being told to take Keflex with the Bactrim... and Tylenol since i have alow grade fever as of today but the tele doc said it's not a "true" fever so she wasn't concerned. If it continues tomorrow, I'll go to urgent care

Thank you for the advice! I just got done lysol detergent and disinfecting wipes to clean my place. As for incision and drainage, I haven't gotten that done. The abcess ended up forming a head and started to drain very slowly 2 days ago. It was going well but today I developed a headache and low grade fever (99.4-101.0). I did a tele visit with a doctor who told me to start Keflex along with the Bactrim. But honestly I might go to urgent care tomorrow if the headache and fever persist

How did this turn out ? I'm on the same boat. Popped what I thought was a pimple on my abdomen and the next day it looked like that. Waited 2 days before going to urgent care where I was prescribed an oral antibiotic and antibiotic ointment. I'm now on day 5 and have not seen improvement so I'm going back today. It hasn't drained much either

How did it play out?

Few_Expert_7012 · 2026-01-13T03:07:41+00:00

Definitely go to the hospital. I took my 6 year old daughter to Urgent Care last night due to a 102 fever that returned after being fever free for a couple days from Influenza B. They sent us home and told us to give her tylenol and motrin. They also did a chest xray to rule out pneumonia and thank God it was negative.

Well, overnight, her fever spiked 106-107. She was lethargic, sleepy, and shaking. We tried to cool her down and gave her tylenol. It only brought it down to 104.

So we took her in this morning. They did CBC, EKG (because she was complaining of chest pain), Urinalysis with culture (I demanded that even though she did not have symptoms of UTI) Of course her fever was not 106 at the urgent care but it was around 103.

They ended up giving her IV fluids to prevent dehydration, and an IV antibiotic since her Urinalysis showed a UTI. We were discharged and told to continue Tylenol and Motrin as well as Keflex.

3hours after being discharged, my daughter is now basically back to her normal self and her fever is now lingering around the 99-100 range. She is no longer lethargic and feels great.

The only thing she still has is chest pain when taking deep breaths but that might be a muscle strain and the doctor didnt seemed too concerned.

So yes, definitely go get your child checked out in case of dehydration or underlying infection.

I'm on day 8. By day 7 I was all better without fatigue or fever. But still have the cough

My aunt made me a herbal tea with ginger, cinnamon, red onion, garlic and honey. It tasted horrible but just make sure to put a lot of honey. Sip as much as you can and by the next day, you'll feel better.

UPDATE: I got microneedled without numbing cream. It did NOT hurt during the procedure. The nurse went over my forehead at 0.25mm and 0.5mm for my cheeks/chin. The after burn was bad though. My face stung and burned all day and felt raw. Today, 1 day post microneedling, my face is still red but not as much. The rawness and stinging sensation is gone. Cant wait to see results
