Help with infection in finger

[Guest guest]

I need some suggestions on what to do for an infection in my thumb.

About 2 weeks ago I made a small puncture with a knife (by accident)

and cleaned it out, but obviously not well enough. It started

swelling and became red, and VERY tender to touch. I tried " healing

drawing clay " , iodine, Tea tree oil etc... topically to no avail. I

finally went to the doctor. Of course the first thing they put me on

was Z-pack (generic) for the infection. By the 7th day nothing was

getting better. I went back and the other Nurse Practitioner put me

on a stronger antibiotic saying she thought it was celluitis

(spelling) and needed something strong to know it out. I took this

antibiotic for 2 days (second day today) Since taking this medication

I have been vomiting, dizzy, headache, and anxiety. (I already have

anxiety so I sure don't need some side effect of a med to cause

more)....

 

Any suggestions that I can try right away to help with thi situation.

Here is what I have done so far:

1. Used Healing drawing clay

2. Soaked it in epsom salts

3. Used hot packs

4. Used tea tree oil and oregano oil topically and last night took

oregano oil internally.

 

I was on the Z-pack antibiotic for 7 days, now this one called

Levaquin (they tried to put me on Keflex, but since I am allergic to

penecillin, the pharmacist said it was too close to the same

properties and might cause an allergic reaction.)

 

I am desperate for any help you can give me. I need any suggestions,

advise that I can try right away. I am concerned because she said it

was cellulitis in my thumb.. I have no idea how she could tell that,

but that is what she said...

 

I look forward to hearing from you. I know this is the holidays and

people are busy, but if you have any idea at all that i can try that

is natural I would be very grateful. I don't want to spend my

holidays being sick because of medication.

 

Merry Christmas

Health and Blessings

Please feel free to contact me off group if need be. I get the digest

version so if you send it to me directly I will find it quicker at

this point. Thanks for your help and concern in advance.

I agree first with Sharon - EFT! yes, takes seconds. Then on top of that

take a strong probiotic with fos to ensure your good bacteria level is

at a beneficial level over the bad bacteria. Next I'd ensure that I'm

helping the detox phase 2 of the process by epsom baths, tons of water,

and an infrared sauna if you can find one or take something like

xymogen's medcaps for heavy detox. TONS of water during all of this and

EFT! That's what I would do! plus eat mostly organic and veggies. take

care of yourself. my gut says this is an easier solution than you

currently feel!
