Well, I am feeling much better as far as the bronchial problems go. I noticed last night as we were going to sleep that my throat no longer has that "bubbly" sound when I open my mouth - that was a really nasty sound. I'm really thirsty, though...been drinking everything all day. ^_^'> At least I'm not coughing nearly as much, or coughing *up* as much. Very thankful for that.
The rash, on the other hand, has spread such that I now look more red with white splotches than normal with red rashy splotches. It's really icky looking and feeling. Took another baking soda bath, and have been doing the Benadryl thing all day.
Mom saw a lady from church at the store today, and they got to talking - somehow I came up, and it turns out she had bronchitis and then also had a rash towards the end of it all. It seems she was allergic to the penicillin in her meds, and it just built up in her system until she broke out. With my family's history of severe allergies to everything (mom - wheat, soy, etc. dad - wasp stings, hay fever, me - hay fever, grass/milk, most soaps and detergents, etc., brothers - hay fever, red food dye, etc.) this is a distinct possibility. I just have taken the last of my antibiotics, so if it clears up in a day or two, I'll know that I have an allergy to penicillin (must remember to note that in my medical records!!!) . If it doesn't clear up, it's probably the detergent we used, and I'll just have to wash everything again in something that we know I'm not allergic to.
Either way, it itches, and I hate hate hate being itchy. It makes me feel unclean, even after baths, showers, etc. -_-
And my ear still feels weird. -_- But overall, much better.
