Hi everyone,

I'm on day 4 post op and I'm gagging on my liquid antibiotic (omnicef). I swear it tastes like vomit.

I can tolerate the pain meds because they taste like cough syrup.

I just don't know how long I will last on this antibiotic (I'm supposed to do it for 10 days ).

Worse thing is that I'm also allergic to phenergan, so I can't do much for the nausea.

I seriously wish time would go by faster!

Are there people out there that didn't need antibiotics afterward?

I wasn't on ABs after surgery. Just pain meds which were nasty tasting but I never was good with taking liquid mess, but I managed to swallow it, only took it for 2 days though. I don't think most people are on AB s post surgery. Which I thought was strange because all the animals I work with get them post surgery. Though I guess humans are better about keeping themselves clean...lol

I wasn't on them.

Can you get a dropper from the pharmacy and squirt the antibx directly into the very back of your throat (as if you were going to gargle it) and then swallow it down fast, so it doesn't have a good chance to touch your tongue?

I do have a dropper and try to squirt it fast but the taste is just pungent. I'll force to get it down, but seriously, the nausea from that is really the worst part.
