- Felt much better after my transfusion. Well, felt well until Monday I developed a sore throat and knew the cause. Went to Dr. Reeve knowing I had infected glands and throat. He confirmed I had acute lymphadenitis and he prescribed an antibiotic, Azithromycin Z. I am on my second day with it and feel much better. I think this is quite common at this time and "going around." I did not wait this time like I have before because I would always think I could get better on my own. That just does not happen for me without an antibiotic.
