Hi... I am suffering from fever since yesterday night. What type of antibiotics can I take for fevers, cold and cough? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Some illnesses, such as cold, or flu are caused by viruses, rather than bacteria, so antibiotics will not help. The NIH lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. In such cases, taking an antibiotic could result in your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, so you should not take one, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. ## I need a medicine for an itchy throat and runny nose, and also an antibiotic to stop the itchiness. ## Sir my father age is 40years he is problems to in2 month that he was come to fever and painun body he take is flexon but not ...

Very large white antibiotic..I am on 875mg ## Basically, amoxicillin mixed with clav-something acid which just enhances the effect of amoxicillan, an antibiotic. Used for chest/skin/ear/throat infections.. ## Was given for severe swollen, kissing tonsils, with an absys on one, closed airway, swollen lymph nodes in neck, and accompanied by four day fever. two days on it and so far, feeling a bit better. ## The other ingredient is Clavulanic Acid, this is a generic for Augmentin. The Clavulanic Acid helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, while the Amoxicillin fights the infection that is already there. ## I have the flu or common cold....I have abottle cephalexin 500mg. The expiration date is 1/14/05. Will they be effective? ## Im on the 500mg and boy do they do some damage to you. they...

I catch frequent colds and fevers... I almost have a cold every day and that results in a fever as well and my nasal septum is shifted to the right side and changed my nose structure... I need your help. ## Hello, Kar! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. The virus that causes colds would not infect you that frequently, or continuously. It also rarely causes fevers. Thus, it is more likely that you have a sinus infection, which will require an antibiotic to eradicate, being that they are usually bacterial in nature. When did this start? Sometimes a cold can make you more susceptible to an infection, so it may have started with one awhile ago. What have you tried taking to treat it? Have you consulted your doctor? ## I'm 30 years old and have been su...

No, this is an antibiotic that is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections, so it will have no effect on the virus that causes cold sores.

I have a fever and I'm suspecting that it's a viral fever, so plz suggest some antibiotics. ## I got fever and body pains since one day ## Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, which is why they cannot be used to treat a cold or flu. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections. Learn more virus details here. The best thing you can do for a virus, in most cases, is to let it run its course. However, if it gets problematic, then you should consult your doctor. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My daughter 9yrs suffering from fever and headache from 2 days I gave her paracetamol 250 mg syrup thrice a day.She relieved but headache is there again what should o do any medicine plz.

Am suffering from cold and low grade fever since few monthes..just i took calpol 500 mg.bt am not getting the relief from ma disese..so,pld suggest any antibiotics ## Antibiotics are not effective on colds as they are caused by a virus. It would do nothing but increase the chance of whatever antibiotic you take to not work the next time you really need them ## Petty is correct. If it is just a cold, an antibiotic will not help and taking one just increases your chance of developing antibiotic resistance. The NIH lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. An antibiotic should only be taken if a physician has confirmed the presence of an infection and told you to take one. Given the low grade fever and that you...

My daughter and I have problems in the winter time with fever and blisters on lips.. Can these pills help control them? ## Hello, Monkey! How are you? Have you ever had them checked out or cultured by your doctor? It sounds like you both might be experiencing cold sores, according to the symptoms described by the NIH, that is usually what causes blisters on your lips, or around your mouth area. They are due to a herpes simplex virus and no, they are not the same as genital herpes, that's a different form of the virus. They tend to occur more frequently, when your lips may be more dry and chapped. However, if that is the case, no this antibiotic will not help. But there is an antiviral medication that you can ask your doctor about prescribing that can help prevent them. It is called ...

Never self medicate. Avoid taking antibiotics for the common cold, viral diseases, dysentry, or mild fevers, as these are mostly self-limiting and usually antibiotics are useless when administered. Whenever, antibiotics are to be prescribed, always use the appropriate selective narrow spectrum antibiotic depending upon strain/bacterium and never discriminate antibiotic use... If there is no action today, there will be no cure tomorrow. Help to avoid antibiotic resistance and only prescribe the correct antibiotic of choice. Always take the full course/duration of treatment. A sensitivity test should also be taken before prescribing, as many antibiotics have become useless, since microbes have developed resistance due to irrational prescriptions and mismanagement of the dosage regimen by ...

I have cold for last one week, and it's getting worth. I have mussle ach, throat pain, and a little fever. Does Sulfameth Trimethoprim work for such symptons? ## Hi AJ, Sorry to say, but Antibiotics in general will not work for colds, flu, and other viral infections. For such symptoms I would suggest looking into more natural alternatives, such as: Raw Honey + Tea - for throat pain/inflammation Lavender Essential Oil - for any muscle aches Plenty of water + Fruits & Veggies - for the fever Many fruits and Vegetables have natural healing properties that can help get your body's temp back to normal in very little time at all (if this is all you're eating for the most part). I also believe the therapeutic properties of honey, tea, and lavender will be of great benefit. I ho...

FOR TWO DAYS THROAT INFECTION AND FEVER BODY PAIN ## Have you seen a doctor for this? There are several things that can cause such problems and if it is an infection, you will more than likely require an antibiotic, which can only be prescribed by a doctor. Such symptoms could be cause by the flu virus, in which case, it is not an infection and, while you can treat the symptoms, it just has to run its course. ## suffering from throat pain, body pain ## Lots of possibilities. Ask yourself these questions: Have you been around anyone with similar symptoms within 3-7 days; are you immunocompromised due to any medications and/or illness; have you or are you willing to they otc remedies such as Nyquil, dayquil, Advil cold and sinus, etc; are you prone to allergies (the time for pollen and ot...

Our 7 YO daughter has had unexplained hives and rash for over 9 months, treating with hydroxyzine, Zantac, Singulair, and Xyzal. It had mostly cleared up and then she caught a cold so we gave her the recommended dosage of Veramyst. Within 24 hours her hives and rash were back, with fever, swollen feet and hands, and one bloody nose. The last dose was over 3 weeks ago and symptoms are diminishing, but still present (100.1 fever this morning). Has anyone else experienced reactions like this? ## my almost 6yo daughter was placed on antibiotics and veramyst for a sinus infection. She had about 3-4 doses of veramyst during a week's time. I had missed a couple of days of it and gave it to her before bedtime. She awoke a few hours later with intense itching and a rash all over her body. Th...

We have found a capsule which is half white and half red with an MK in an oval in black imprinted on each half of the capsule. Any idea what this is? ## I am sorry, but I can't find any information on this. It has popped up a few other times and the theories are that it's a foreign medication, which would also explain why it's not in our databases. Do you happen to know the country of origin? ## I think this is an antibiotic. I got it in Nicaragua so country of origin would be somewhere in Central America. ## Guatemalan medication. are red and white with mk with a black oval around it.
