A lot of thick mucus will amoxicillin 500milagrams help I have COPDpatty thick cloudy mucus ## Hello, Patty! How are you? Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections, so it will not do anything to treat a cough. The only way it may help is if it and the mucous are due to some type of respiratory infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Have you consulted your doctor?

My son has a horrible cough for days now following an up and down temp. I have a few 500mg of Amoxicillin capsules from my recent dental root canal fun times. Is it alright for me to break the capsule and put a small dosage into his juice/food? He gets bad anxiety at the doctors office I'd like to spare him the upset if it's something I can take care of at home. ## Hello, Ally! How is your son doing? No, that's never a good idea. He may not have an infection, if he does this may not be the appropriate antibiotic to treat it, you could end up giving him too much or too little.. there are just too many risks involved. It would be best to see his doctor for a proper diagnosis and prescription, if necessary. The FDA classifies this medication as being an antibiotic and it's ...

I tried home remedies to treat cough and felt better but not fully cured.when I discussed with my Dr; she prescribed Mox 500 for 5 days 3 times.....is it necessary to take it for 5 days?whether 3 days intake of medicine is only needed?

As part of flu, I had congetion with flum accumulation. Tried a course of mild antibiotics 250 mg but still traces of flum used to come out with cough. So I thought of taking Amox-500 mg (it was available at home). After taking tablet I realized that I shouldn't have taken such a strong dose and now I want to stop. Please let me know if this has any side effects or relapse of lung infecton? ## Was an infection confirmed by a doctor? A flu isn't caused by a bacterial infection, it is caused by a virus and antibiotics will not be effective at treating it, or its symptoms. They are only effective against bacterial infections. However, if it was an infection and your doctor told you take the antibiotics for a certain period of time and you didn't, yes there is the risk of the in...

I have stuffed sinus .. cough and are tired/weak. I have amox/K Clav 500-125 .. would it be helpful towards these symptoms?? How many pre day should I take? ## Amoxicillin is a antibotic.It is used to treat bacterial infections. A cold is a viral infection, so it would do no good. ## @Becky Burnside, BL is correct, the Amoxicillin will not be effective for the cold. If I can recommend anything, it would be to intake as many fruits/vegetables as possible (especially citrus fruits due to their high vitamin C content!). Also, water with real lemon juice is a really easy way to build your immune system and should definitely help to fight off the cold sooner. I've read that it's most beneficial to drink the amount of water (in ounces) that is equal to half of your body weight. For ex...

mucus ,short of breathe, minor wheezing, coughing ## Hello, Wes! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so it will only help with bacterial infections. If your symptoms are due to something such as a cold or allergies, it will not help and taking it when it isn't appropriate may result in your developing antibiotic resistance. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed? ## I have used Amoxil for bronchitis and ear infections before. As long as it is bacterial it should treat a broard spectrum of illnesses.

Hi my son is 4 months old and he has a dry cough and skin allergy (skin asthma) i bring him in the health center, and the doctor gave him amoxicillin trihydrate betamox 100mg/ml powder for suspension. my question is, this medicine is really the right medicine for my son's dry cough? cause as i've read that this kind of medicine is used to treat certain bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin or bladder. Betamox can also be used to prevent infection when you undergo certain dental procedures. is this really the right medicine for my 4 months old baby? ## Hi, Rizza! How is your son doing? And I have to agree with you, this is antibiotic that's only effective at treating bacterial infections, so it isn't likely to help with either issue. Additionally, the...

Hi, I just got these new antibiotics. I use to get amoxicillin but this time I got amox clav 875. I'm using it for strep throat. Is that right? Or should I have been prescribed something else. My tonsil feels extremely itchy and I have been coughing a lot more. I'm wondering if I should get it switched. When does amox clav kick in? This is just my first day. ## Amox Clav is Amoxicillin with added Clavulanic Acid to help it work better, the brand name for it is Augmentin. It is an antibiotic and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I have amoxiciliana 500mg tablets. I feel like I am going to get sick. Should I start taking them? My throat is very itchy and I have a little cough. How many times a day should I take one? ## Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, commonly used to treat many different types of infections. That said, it is very important NOT to use this if it is not needed, due to the danger of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. If your symptoms have just been brought on by a cold, flu or allergy, then these will not help with it, anyway. Have you seen a doctor for this condition, yet?

I have been using the medication for 5 days now to treat sinus infection and have developed a severe pain that starts in the back right side of my head when I cough. It is a extremely sharp pain. Is it caused by the medication. ## Hi Paul, Based on my research, headaches are listed as a general side effect of Amoxicillin. I wasn't aware of how severe they could be though. If it's too bothersome I'd definitely urge you to contact your doctor as soon as possible to find a solution. He/she may have you switch over to another antibiotic in the meantime. How many days are you prescribed it for? To my understanding, most antibiotics are only taken for around 7-10 days, depending on the severity of the infection. If you only have a day or two left, would you try to wait it out? You...

I had fever and I took paracetamol and i got relieved. after that I have colds and feel that I have phlegm in my chest for 6 days now. I cough sometimes. I want to know if Natravox is good for my colds. ## Have you consulted a doctor? Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, commonly prescribed in the U.S. under the brand name Augmentin, is an antibiotic that will only work to treat or prevent infections.

Will the Pinamox treat his chest as well? ## Have you consulted his doctor about it?
