Tequin Allergy

Has anyone else on here had an allergic reaction to Tequin? I think I have, and I will probably call my doctor tomorrow to see if there's anything he can do about it. I have had a very similar reaction to Penicillin ( I think it was around a year ago.) The symptoms are very similar - hives, joint pain, etc.. But now I feel a sharp pain in my chest. It's like a pain in my chest wall or something... My lungs are very clear - when I do cough something up it is very light in color. However, it hurts to take deep breaths - it's very discouraging. I know that it's not congestion - I know what that feels like and like I said I'm very clear - it's a different kind of pain. I know that I should have probably already called my doctor, but I will call in the morning. Hopefully it'll ease up so I can get better rest tonight.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Can anything be done or does it just have to wear off? I will never ever ever take this crap again.

Thanks!

Well, I called my dr. and he called me in a prescription for steroids, etc. If it's not any better tomorrow I should call him. He said it should be out of my system by tomorrow night or next day.
