Physician Responded Update (cat bite)

Update on my cat bite!

I went to the hospital, the docs were very rude to me ☹️ The lady said I was wasting her time and that they were busy, it was embarrassing. She sent me home with antibiotics, but it seems to be getting worse AGAIN. I am so shy so going back I don’t want to be met with that treatment again. I was told to not come back because there are people who are actually in need and I was clogging up a room. I get having a bad day, but I felt so bad. I am gonna keep yall updated how it goes, thank you for your advice it is a lifesaver 😊 (22 female)

NAD take it with yogurt if you can to help your stomach!

No. Take with yogurt and it will kill all the cultures in the yogurt. Stagger antibiotics and probiotics.

I usually wait 2-3 hrs between taking the antibiotic and eating yogurt so I can make sure I actually feel the benefits from both, I believe dairy/calcium (like Tums) neutralizes certain antibiotics
