Hi everyone, I was recently bitten by a coral snake while hiking and was treated with Antivenin Na Coral Sn Inj in the hospital. I'm curious about what others have experienced with this treatment. The doctor explained that it's an antivenom made from horse antibodies and is given intravenously. They mentioned some possible side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone has had a more serious reaction or any long-term effects. How long did it take for you to fully recover? Also, I'm interested in knowing how common it is to experience the more severe symptoms listed, like feeling extremely tired or weak, cough, or shortness of breath. Any insights or personal stories would be greatly appreciated!
