I was placed on Dicloxacillin for a Bartholin cyst that seems to be draining on its own b/c they didn't want an infection to spread to the [unborn] baby. This is the fourth day I'm taking it and I have been noticing increasing side effects (increase in vaginal discharge that smells very similar to medicine, increase stomach ache, tingling headache and now a sore throat - not to mention the baby's kicks seem different). I was very concerned when I later found out that those allergic to Ceclor or with stomach problems (I fall into both categories) should notify their doctor before taking this medicine. The OB who placed me on it doesn't seem so concerned, though - they STILL haven't returned my call. What should I do? I know that you're suppose to finish all your med or the bacterial infection can come back stronger, but I am starting to feel this medicine is doing more harm than good.
