Sorry to hear this. The antibiotics should clear it up pretty quick. Only thing
I wanted to add is that this antibiotic often causes mild, chronic nausea and
loss of appetite. Unless you *want* to lose some weight, be careful to get
enough to eat. Don't drink alcohol, as that interferes with the drug's
efficacy, as do some mega-doses of vitamins.  Also stay out of the sun, this
antibiotic also makes you VERY succeptible to sunburn.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon!
