What Is Going On If I Have Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, And Red Marks From Ear To Collar Bone?
I have on several occasions red marks from left ear down to collar bone and now streak on my right side. I had got snake bitten about a month and half ago and that's when it all started. I was on iv antibiotics for bout 4 days in the hospital along with taking rx orally afterwards. the same symptoms occurred again and another round of antibiotics was given. then had abscessed wisdom tooth which was extracted and symptoms occurred again leading me to the er and given iv antibiotics along with rx for orally. the streaks are really red in color and burn and are very painful to touch. they do scab over before they heal. the doctors state its cellulites but are really dumb founded and referred me to a dermatologist. when the symptoms occur I get a really bad headache and usually nauseated and vomiting. can you please give me your opinion on what may be going on? I thank you for your help.

Hi,
As per your query it seems that the venom of snake was vasculotoxic. Headache, nausea or vomiting are common after snake bite even if there were no signs of envenomation. In these cases there is increase possibility of cellulitis at the site of bite. There may become non healing ulcer too.
Treatment with Citric acid usually help a lot in these type of wound.
You should consult your local Dermatologist and medicine doctor for complete evaluation of your condition.
