You don't say when you started the antibiotics, and if in any doubt ring or see your GP.

Go to your primary health care provider, GP if you are in The UK, I thought maybe you were from a different country as you called Leflunomide by its brand name . On the phone first thing Monday morning and get an emergency appointment. Don't be fobbed off by receptionists.

Unless your arm is falling off and gangrene is setting in I wouldn't go to Accident and Emergency ( ER)

Here in the UK on a Sunday we have a service where you phone a number and discuss your complaint and in your case they would probably send you to an out of hours clinic.

I think maybe in the States the system is different.

You probably need a different antibiotic and you need to be checked that you don't have MRSA or similar.

Best wishes and hope your infection clears up very soon.

Hi Manadalou - Thank you so much for explaining what A & E is - I could only think of Arts and Entertainment - and I knew that couldn't be right! Ha ha
