I do not take antibiotics because of severe reactions such as swollen eyelids and other issues.and also allergic to Flagyl. and possibly Levaquin. Also I believe antibiotics are over used and so far I have done without them for things everyone else takes them for such as Flu,colds and many other things. I use herbal products without most problems but now have a couple of painful tooth issues and perhaps some infections. I have no medical records to verify this due to many years of not having insurance or finances. I will see a dentist but having problems finding one that is more into natural products and low radiation x-rays. How can I ask for a Laboratory Culture in case I have to take some antibiotic: without causing a Dentist to become defensive and feel insulted.I am 70 yrs. old and...

Hi, my name is florence. My 12 year old daughter has an eye problem or infection that's red, swollen and painful. Our GP gave her metazol as an antibiotic. Can it help? ## Hello, Florence! How are you? Yes, the FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic that can treat or prevent various types of bacterial infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, stomach pain and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Florence!

I've been on amoxicillin for 3 days now for a gum infection.. within the first day my whole right side of my face swelled up and on the second day my eye was so swollen I could barely open it... its the third day and now not only am I dealing with all this swelling but now my gums are bleeding... is this normal? ## Hi micki, To be completely honest, the reactions you're experiencing don't seem "normal" by any means, but are unfortunately side effects of Amoxicillin. You should speak with your doctor immediately, so the condition doesn't worsen. He/she may need to prescribe a different antibiotic or lower the dosage. You may also want to consider taking a probiotic while on the antibiotic, to reinstate good bacteria in your body. Have you had negative reactions wi...

I am wondering what is the medicine By-Mycin used for? My brother is taking it for a sore eye, but I cannot see it under the Mycin category. ## I was prescribed By-Mycin over a year ago and am wondering what I took them for.

Woundering lve been taking ampicilina to treat eye infefection. What is best thing l should be taking ? ## No one but you and your doctor are going to know what's best for YOU, even if that something works well for other people. Ampicilina (Ampicillin) however, is readily used for the treatment of eye infections. You'd just have to ask your doctor about the right dosage and form of ingestion (eye drops vs oral tablets) for this treatment. It can help the eye infection heal quicker than without it. It can also keep an infection away that keeps coming back. If you develop an infection in your eye or your eyes, you may also be prescribed Amoxicillin antibiotics for eyes (as a first line of treatment). It comes in the form of eye drops. I personally don't know if Amoxicillin wor...

Been on 500mg Levequin for 3 days now. I'm experiencing weakness, a bit of confusion, dizziness, unsteady on my feet, and droopy eyelids. Extremely tired. I also have pain behind the eyes. Dr. prescribed this for my sinus infection. I don't feel right !!! Any info would be appreciated. Thank you ! ## The FDA does list those as being possible side effects of this antibiotic. You may also experience nausea, headache, and diarrhea. Has there been any change? If they become too severe, you may need to consult your doctor about trying a different antibiotic. Are you on any other medications? ## Hi Verwon, it got so bad I had to go to the ER Doc said all of my symptoms, especially the muscle soreness and pain. Headache, etc. Were ALL due to the Prevastatin. They kept me a day to hydra...

I have a gum infection from a tooth that needs to come out, I have no coverage for eyes and dental, the only antibiotic I have in the house is from my lady's stone removal ## Hello, Willie! How are you? Yes, antibiotics just eradicate bacteria, they are not gender specific. However, it would be best to see your doctor and let them prescribe an appropriate antibiotic. Any doctor can do so, it doesn't have to be a dentist. The FDA lists the typical side effects of an antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I am a 24 year old girl. For the last two days I've felt pain in my left eye and swelling. My doctor prescribed me Taxim-O-200 and also tells me that if it happens next time you'll have to use power spect, but right now my eye sight is ok. Please tell me if everything will be ok with me? ## Hello, Sunny! How are you? This is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. But what type of doctor did you see for it? It's incorrect to assume that such a thing would have any effect on your eyesight, if it occurs again, because not all such afflictions do. Did they mention what caused it? ## Yesterday I went out of town and couldn't go to the washroom and couldn't drink water for 8 hours; and today this morning I'm experiencing a burning sensa...

In the corner of my eyes is sore with redness ## @gonzo, Terramicina or "Terramycin" in english terms is an antibiotic marketed in several forms, including an ophthalmic ointment for treating eye infections specifically in animals such as horses, cattle, cats, dogs, etc... Every article of information I'm finding on the ophthalmic ointment points back to its veterinary applications, but nothing concerning human use. So with that said, I think it may be best to double check with your doctor before attempting to use it on yourself. Chances are that it might be just fine, but these days it's worth getting a professional opinion as well.

I recently had cataract surgery and developed corneal abrasions afterwars, which were extrely pàinful. My eye surgeon ordered me doxycycline NYC 100. I have been on it for close to a month. He has indicated I should coniue on it for another month. I also have Fuchs endothelial dystrophy. Can this medication be used for this reason and is it okay to stay on it this long? ## Hello, Constance! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problems that you've been having. Yes, this is an antibiotic that is often used to prevent infections, as is being done in your case. It is often taken for longer periods of time when someone suffers from severe bacterial acne. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have Pota Vi Kin 400,000 U tablets. Can I give to my 40lb. cocker spaniel? He has a bacterial eye infection. If so, how much should I give him? How often and how many days? ## This is not an antibiotic, what you have listed is a potassium supplement that is used to treat, or prevent potassium deficiencies. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, and stomach pain, due to the potency, so they should only be taken with food. What medication has your vet prescribed for your pup? It would be best to follow their instructions on what to give your dog. Have they confirmed your pup has a bacterial eye infection?
