I have an infected cut on my leg, was prescribed Sulfameth (160mg 2x/day) on Thursday, and they also gave me a tetanus (my last one was 7 years ago) Since then, the infection looks worse, not pussy but goes from angry red to almost purple, and I have had incredible pain in my hands. I called my PCP about the hands and spoke with a NP who said it was likely carpel tunnel, and went to urgent care about the infection who said the antibiotics just take time. I self diagnosed the hands to be peripheral neuropathy but and now running a low grade fever and have flu like symptoms.
