Best Antibiotic For Fever

I am having a mild fever with a cough and cold and running nose since 4 days. I've taken paracetamol & Leon but my fever is still not going away and neither is the cold. ## A cold is caused by a virus, so an antibiotic will not help with that. An antibiotic will only help with a bacterial infection. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My husband is 57yrs old and he's been coughing productively for a month with wheezing, difficulty breathing, taking cough syrup and not getting better. What is the best antibiotic of choice? He is a smoker. ## I am having a mild fever with a cough and cold and running nose since 4 days. I've taken paracetamo...

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.

I'm going in for a root canal in three days. It hurts bad and the only pain killer I have is a couple of diclofenac that my doc gave me for gout. Will diclofenac help alleviate tooth pain? ## It's a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that can be used to treat pain, fever, and swelling, so it may help, but checking with a doctor or dentist would be best. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding, headache, and stomach irritation. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Were you prescribed an antibiotic? Are you on any other medications?

amoxycillin tablet suffering from cold ## A cold is caused by a virus, not an infection. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections, as such, it will not help with a cold. The best thing you can do for a cold is treat the symptoms, if you have congestion or fever and let it runs its course. Have you seen a doctor?

I Took my last pill but have been feeling like a small fever/headache for 3 days straight so I took night quil is it bad to mix?... ## Hello, Jay! How are you? Not from what I've found listed, if you just took the regular Nyquil, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The fever and headache, however, may have been side effects of the antibiotic. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Did you suffer any adverse effects?

My daughter is in Mexico, Her 19 month old has been vomiting with a fever. The doctor there gave her these medications without and test of any kind. We need to know what they are and should he keep taking them The Netromicina was sent home with her in individual tubes for injections daily. ## i did a google search on the medicines you listed, and it seems to fit with the symptoms u are describing. the netromicina is an antibiotic used to treat infections, the butilhioscina is used to treat abdominal spasms (vomiting) and the espacil is used to treat nausea and motion sickness. so even though, i am not a medical doctor or professional, i would assume that ur daughter's child is safe, but if u have any problems or questions, it may be best to speak with a licensed doctor.

Liquid penicillin - The date on it is 04-2015. My throat is almost swollen shut. Can I give my self a shot of this? My insurance is not effective until april. I also have runny nose, fever etc. ## Hello, Rhonda! How are you? I'm sorry that you're sick. But no, you should not use any expired liquid medications, they tend to go bad faster than other formulations and not only do they lose effectiveness, but they could actually make you ill if you used them. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It would be best to see your doctor or go to your nearest urgent care. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been taking Meloxicam for about three days now, for wrist pain. I had an MRI and it showed two small cysts in my wrist. The pain is still there, and it's nearly unbearable since I work in production. Should I ask my Dr. For something else, or continue to take it and hope for the best? I've read about melocxicam and it seems to work for people with arthritis, but I have cysts. Did my Dr. Make the right call? ## Hello, Casey! How are you feeling? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Do you know what type of cysts they are? Is this the only thing your doctor prescribe? Usually, an antibiotic and/or a steroid are used for cysts, to try to reduce their size and get them to go away. Meloxicam is listed by the FDA as an NSAID, it is used to treat pain, fever and swellin...

It is actually best not to use an expired antibiotic, they tend to start to lose effectiveness and may not properly eradicate an infection, which could create antibiotic resistant bacteria. This can also occur if you don't have enough of them to properly eradicate an infection, or if you take them when you don't actually have an infection. Has pneumonia been confirmed by your doctor? ## no i didnt go to dr but i have wheezing when i breath and i had fever wast sure if is virus ir other and the medication i have the one i mentioned before dont expired till 2017 ..thank u ## What is the shelf life of doxycyc...

I think I have strep throut - my daughter has it and now I am feeling sick - I have left over Touro LA Caplet Sa Dar and I have left over Hydromet - from the last time I was sick - can I take either of these? My daughter was given amoxilinine - I am uninsured so would prefer not having to pay for more drugs ## Strep throat is caused by a bacterial infection, so it usually requires an antibiotic, and neither of the medications you mentioned contain antibiotics, thus it would be best to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, and treatment, if necessary. Have you experienced any other symptoms, such as pain when swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and body aches? Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, nonallergic skin rash, diarrhea, and dizziness.

My daughter has been diagnosed with typhoid and the doctor prescribed zifi cv 200 tablet twice a day. She has a throat infection along with a high fever of 105 deg. fahrenheit. She has been taking the drug since the last 48 hours and has developed diarrhea. Since I cannot get in touch with the attending doctor I'm intimated to continue the normal course of the antibiotics and am also concerned about the side effects if any. ## Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of an antibiotic, according to the U.S. FDA. She may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash. You are doing the right thing, it is best to continue the course of treatment, unless her doctor instructs otherwise. Is there anything else I can help with?
