Are these doctors stupid or what?Friday I took my daughter to urgent care because she was developing some signs of pink eye. My doctor's office didn't have any openings so I decided to go to UC. Sure enough she had pink eye. They ordered her an antibiotic called Cefdinir. She had never been on this before. After taking the anti that day and the next she started getting diarrhea. She had diarrhea Sunday 2 times Monday and 1 time on Tuesday. I called Tuesday to inform them of my daughters loose stools. When I got a call back from that office I was told that kind of antibiotic doesn't cause diarrhea and that she had something else along with pink eye. I raised my eye brows and thought there is no way it couldn't be this antibiotic causing it because she hadn't bee eating a whole lot because the antibiotic caused loss of appetite. I did some research and I keep finding diarrhea to be a side effect.
Next thing I went in on Monday to get looked at because I thought I was starting to develop some signs of pink eye. They said it didn't look to be pink eye but they wanted to treat it in case it was. They called in Erythromycin antibiotic ointment. I haven't taken that kind of antibiotic before. The directions read. Make a pocket with your lower eye lid put and inch of it in 4x a day for 10 days. I was confused because that seemed like a ridiculous amount of ointment. I put 4 doses in that day. The next morning my nose was stuffy, my tonsils were swollen, I had achey muscles and joints. My eyes and face felt puffy, headache and nausea. I was concerned I was having a reaction to the ointment so I went in to get it looked at. I was told it wasn't an allergic reaction that I possibly have tonsillitis. I didn't understand how they could be so sure. I didn't have any of these symptoms before taking this ointment. I feel like these guys have no idea what they are doing. They prescribed me another antibiotic pill form and allergy pills because I was told it was allergies as well.

Thats what you get for getting all in arms about pink eye.
It's only a bit of eye gunk, I leave it to clear itself up or if that doesn't work, I get antibiotic eye drops.

Welcome to modern medicine. Doctors treat symptoms, not root causes. I also had a VIRAL conjunctivitis. Now that was exciting. Antibiotics do not work on viral infections. The humoral immune system has "B" cells and "T" cells. These are reciprocal. So when you turn on the "B" cells to produce macrophages and kill bacteria, you turn OFF the "T" cells that fight viral infections and cancer. So I had to let my immune system deal with the viral infection. The eye doctor had nightmares about what my eye looked like from the infection. He gave me steroids to deal with the problem.
The way I got the problem was from my daughter who had been in the hospital and picked up the infection there from the doctor who examined her that did not wash her hands before seeing my daughter. Now that, was a very stupid doctor.
ALL Antibiotics kill the bacteria in your intestine that makes up about 80% of your immune system. So when you take any antibiotic, you have destroyed most of your immunity and are relying on that antibiotic to get enough "B" cells from your humoral immune system to go after a particular bacteria at the cost of bad functioning intestinal problems. Tonsils are part of the LYMPHATIC system that rids the body of dead cells, cancer cells, and debris from infections. Antibiotics destroy the intestinal flora and so your small intestines are going to be without these bacteria that help digest your food, especially at the brush border cell sites in your small intestines that contribute heavily to proper carbohydrate digestion. This bad digestion will cause food intolerances and allergic reactions to foods containing proteins.
For these doctors to say what they did, is understandable because they have NO clue about how the body works in regard to nutrition, detoxing, and many aspects of healing.
good luck to you

Sounds like a viral conjunctivitis. Since you possibly got it from your daughter. Since it very contagious, you might want to give vitamins or improve the rest of the family immune system.
Usually we treat viral conjunctivitis is treated with symptom relieving only, and that is using an eye drop medicine only. Even if we use ointment (example: in case of bacterial conjunctivitis), we would recommend the patient to use it at night before sleeping, therefore only once a day, not 4, and still helped by using the eye drop.
"I possibly have tonsillitis"
I can't say, since I can't look at it.
If you're not sure with your doctor now, you can always ask a second opinion (visit another doctor)
