Sorry about the problem that you're having. Which antibiotics have you tried? I've no idea what may be stronger, since you didn't list all of them. Another question, has your doctor done any lab work to determine the type of infection you have? Knowing the specific bacteria might make it easier to choose the correct antibiotic to eradicate it.

My doctor diagnosed me with diverticulitis after a ct scan. Why do I take amox-clav 875 and metronidazole simultaneously? Thank you! ## Sometimes multiple antibiotics are given, if the doctor isn't sure of the precise bacteria that is the culprit, by taking more than one, it covers more possibilities. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, stomach pain and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My side effects also included a super metallic taste and a somewhat distorted sense of smell. Both have resolved after finishing course of antibiotic treatment.

I am on suboxone, I was wondering if it is OK to take antibiotics? I am getting some teeth pulled. PLEASE help soon as I am going to the dentist today!!! if they give me pain pills SHOULD I stop the suboxone and go on pain meds? the pain is UNBEARABLE and I am at the end of my suboxone treatment...1 mg a day. ## What you can and can't safely use is something you will need to discuss with the clinic that is providing your Suboxone treatment. I realize that I am already answering this after your appointment, but that is the hazards of trying to get such information online, you cannot possibly be certain of getting the info in the time you need it. Plus, the Suboxone will help with pain, since it is a narcotic just without the side effects of traditional ones. In addition if you are un...

Was prescribed this Medicine 1week ago today. Just realized I was supposed to be taking three pills so 450 mg every 8 hours. I have only been taking 1 pill 150 mg every 8 hours what should I do?

Is it ok that I take a percocet while on the antibiotic cefdinir . (Treatment for a UTI) ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure.

Cefdinir's side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

What's the best medication for Chagas disease? I've tried Ozone treatments and mild antibiotics, but still going down hill quick! If anyone knows how to kill this off, please let me know where or how, or both! Thank you ## From what I could gather, Nifurtimox and Benznidazole are the two front-line drugs used to treat Chagas disease. Referenced from: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002348/#adam_001372.disease.treatment Have you tried either of these medications yet? Apparently they are only recommended during the acute phase of Chagas disease. Once Chagas disease reaches the chronic phase, medications aren't effective for curing the disease. Instead, treatment depends on the specific signs and symptoms: If you are experiencing heart-related complications, then treatment ma...

Can smz/tmp tab treat mouth sores ## Hi Linda, This question has an interesting response because Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim can actually cause sores, ulcers, or white spots in the mouth or on the lips, as a rare but possible side effect. If these mouth sores that you're describing are related to an infection, I can confirm that this medication is also used for treatment of both tooth and gum infections; although it does not specify if mouth sores are included in this category of treatment. If I were in your shoes I would consider trying clove essential oil for any dental or mouth related infections or sores. There are also a good number of natural home remedies which you can find online, if these are identified as canker sores. Please post back with any additional information s...

Hi there, I have been taking antibiotics for the past five days, with two days remaining in the course of treatment. I developed thrush within the first two days of taking antibiotics. I'm just wondering if I'm able to take a course of fluconazole one now or if I have to wait until I finish the course of antibiotics? Thanks ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? You can take it now, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Some women that are prone to thrush take it with their antibiotics as a preventative. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?
