Aspirin...
Aspirin...
I didn't know I was allergic to aspirin! I had a headache yesterday, so there wasn't any panadol left, so I took an aspirin. Which, as anyone knew was an aid to headaches. Then, I went back to the studyroom to read a little bit of Geography and listen to some music. Then, several minutes later, my eyes started to feel irritated. I thought it was just one of the normal eye irritation that I would get when I was tired. So, I went up to bed without looking at the mirror. Then, few minutes later, my mum came into my room to call me dow for dinner and she got a shocked when she saw me. Apparently, my eyes and the area around my eyes were swollen and puffy. It was hard to look at stuff. They were like asking me, what did you take this morning? Did you take anything? I was thinking and then I said, "aspirin". Then, my dad and sis took me to Timberland Hospital. There, the doctor said that I was allergic to aspirin and that it was lucky that I only took one aspirin and not two. If I took two, I would have been admitted into hospital and on drip. My blood pressure was normal, my heart rate was faster and my temperature was higher than normal. So he just gave me eye drops and some allergy pills that would makae me extremely drowsy and I was to drink lots and lots of water to dilute the toxic. I slept more than 12 hours today. My mum canceled my theory class today and it's a 50/50 chance that I would go to school tomorrow due to my condition. Oh, and I didn't get to eat any crab because they forbid me to any allergy foods.
