So I was recently prescribed antibiotics for an infection I have and I took one dose and feel like the worst case super rare things will happen to me. It is so frustrating because I know I need this medication but I am so paranoid I will have an adverse reaction that will make my skin melt off. I feel so isolated and panicked and I just want to be able to take my medication and feel physically better.

Why do you think your skin will melt off? Worse case scenario, they might give you an upset stomach, I usually have a bit of a sore stomach with antibiotics, but other than that you'll be a-okay, don't worry about things that aren't possible x
Because there's a 1 in a million chance of a crazy allergic reaction. It is just crazy how anxiety can manifest its way into convincing me that I am so special that something that slim could happen, but it is hard.
No, I did not.

If you've not taken a reaction, you wouldn't develop an allergy as quickly as the next dose needs to be taken. You're a-okay
