Im finishing up a ten day course of ampicillin for an enterococcus infection. I started feeling Ill three days ago, but what bothered me the most was that I could smell and taste blood. Yesterday I came down with flu-like symptoms (hot flashes/chills, weakness, sore throat), and this morning my gums and the roof of my mouth started to bleed. Could this be a reaction to the ampicillin? In the past Ive developed reactions to other antibiotics Ive taken (sulfa drugs, macrobid, etc.). I only have two doses left. Should I take them?
