3 weeks after radiation

I completed radiation therapy 3 weeks ago and had staph infection in the burns. I am on antibiotics but feeling unwell and hit temp of 38.2. Being a Sunday do I ride it out or go to emergency. 
  •  Hopefully you have received treatment and can enjoy Christmas 
    take care!
  • I Hope you received appropriate treatment & are feeling better today, @T0mmy ...  take care xx
  • @T0mmy
    I’d say go to emergency. What a scary time for you. No point delaying with infections, esp if oral antibiotics not beating it.
    best wishes
  • Hope you are getting treatment and feeling better @TOmmy
  • Hi @T0mmy I got an infection post radiation. I was so sick and recovery was long and hard.   Ended up in hospital for 10 days. I hope you are ok.

  • @TOmmy Hope you have been well looked after in Emergency & your burns soon heal. Sounds like you have been doing it tough. Hang in there. Sending gentle hugs & prayers xx
  • Hopefully you’ve headed off to Emergency now. It’s just one thing after another, isn’t it!! Do hope you’re feeling much better soon.
  • Yes go off to emergency just to be sure.   Hope the burns start to heal soon for you.
