Tom has officially been diagnosed by a doctor (because you know - we are stupid people and without that doctor's official diagnosis - it just isn't true!). He has thrush. Hmmm that is what we said. He is reacting to the antibiotic. The doctor said to keep taking it but take the medicine to stop the thrush.
We said no. This is what happened to Tom before. He always reacted to penicillin by getting thrush -- and they said that was a 'side affect' not a 'reaction' and therefore keep taking it. Sure enough it turned into a major reaction and now he is anaphylactic to penicillin. We didn't want to risk it and insisted on a change in antibiotics. We are starting to run out of options. Hopefully, this one will work and won't cause problems.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good! Yikes!! Will pray that your husband gets exactly the antibiotic that he needs and his body will respond to!
Yes it is always scary giving him medicines as he does react negatively to meds. And it is hard to get doctors to listen to us about his reactions.
