40 Days of Antibiotics
I developed a fingernail infection after a nail salon visit. It has led to multiple rounds of antibiotics, side effects requiring additional medication, and surgery to remove the nail. My cultures came back positive for two different bacteria.
I’ve been on antibiotics for around 40 days, and now I’m taking Amoxicillin 875 mg twice daily and Cephalexin 500 mg three times daily. I’m already experiencing side effects and am worried about what this much antibiotic use could do to my body.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How concerned should I be about the side effects of prolonged antibiotic use, especially taking two antibiotics at once?
I’m in my mid 30s, if it helps.
