I lost a piece of paper that said what I'm allergic to, I think it's an antibiotic that starts with an M. It it gives me a rash, my back starts to feel itchy, I had to take it for a blood infection. ## Hi igor, Antibiotics starting with "M" include: Meropenem, Mezlocillin, Meticillin, Moxifloxacin, Mafenide, and Minocycline. Do any of these names ring a bell? I'm sure there may be others out there, but this is what I could gather at the moment. I hope it helps! ## Metronidazole. Also interacts with propyline glycol, which is in liquid for e-cigarettes.

what causes guillian barr syndrome and how can it be treated. It 's symptoms are similar to MS- creeping paralysis and muscle wasting. ## Hello, Coconut! How are you? Guillain-Barré is an acute polyneuropathy, it's an ascending paralysis, it starts with weakness in the hands and feet, which then slowly moves in towards the trunk. It is most commonly triggered by an infection. Supportive care is usually the main treatment, to ensure that the patient continues receiving oxygen and, of course, antibiotics to try to eradicate the infection and stop the body's attack on the nervous system. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I want to know if this could help a kidney infection and bladder infection? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? Yes, it is a broad spectrum antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea, as reported by the FDA. The general rule for antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking it for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after a full 3 days of taking it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a small break out and when it starts I get that "itchy" feeling and I scratch so bad it almost bleeds.

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...

My three year old daughter was suffering from cough since the 20th of January along with high fever for nine days. The doctor said it was a viral fever and advised a paracetamol suspension + antibiotics (macberry-xt) as she had wheezing. I continued with two files of the same for long but when I stopped the medicine her coughing came back. Then doctor gave her medicine for allergies for fifteen days but now if I stop giving her any medicine she starts coughing again. It is March now. What is the remedy to all this? Now I administered Relent+ 5 ml one time in fifteen days. Is it harmful? How long can I continue giving my daughter Relent+ syrup?

how long after med expires is it still good for ## Hello, Timmy! How are you? The best way to think of the expiration date would be to actually consider it a guaranteed full potency date. That is the maximum time that the manufacturer can guarantee that the drug will have its full beneficial effect under the most commonly used storage conditions. Past that date, the efficacy level starts to drop. Now, antibiotics can be more problematic than many other medications, because once they start to lose effectiveness, they may not properly eradicate infectious bacteria, which may result in antibiotic resistance, making things even worse. Additionally, if your doctor prescribed it to treat an infection and you didn't finish it all, as you are supposed to, then you are also running that same...

I am an adult woman who suffers from a bout of impetigo. If you don't know what impetigo is please look it up. I don't get it all the time. I'll get it about once every three years. But it lingers for months. And it spreads quickly. It usually starts at the corner of my nose and makes it way clockwise to my chin then back at the other corner. It's a horrible, scaly, puss filled rash. If u scratch it too bad you spread it. It's normally found in children. Maybe I carry a strain. I don't know. Anyway, I've been prescribed so many antibiotics and antibiotic ointments. None seem to work well. It seems like me leaving it alone works better for me. But this summer I got the darn rash again. It's a bit embarrassing. The girls are always trying to clean my face f...
