Answer pls asap ## I had a dry cough since last 2 month bcoz of the heat weather here in the Philippines.thanks. ## It depends on what is causing the dry cough, so it would be best to consult a medical professional, it is best not to use an antibiotic, without it being prescribed for you. The NIH warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Are either of the patients in question on any other medications?

Have you consulted his doctor? ## I've been coughing for almost 2 weeks,I was taking docsed syrup and adco-lictopent syrup but no change.Is there any other syrup or antibiotic I should take to stop the cough,It's a wet cough ## What I know is if you have a productive cough, you need a mucolytic (to dissolve mucus).

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?

I have been sick for a week. I have been coughing a lot & wheezing. I have a lot of phlegm but can't cough it up. I started using essential oils & it seems to be helping some. Could I have pneumonia? ## It is possible, however, there are also other possibilities, according to the NIH, such as a cold, asthma, congestive heart failure, bronchitis, and etc. However, only your doctor can give you a definitive diagnosis. And regardless of which condition might be causing these symptoms, essential oils are not going to cure it.

I've been having a sore throat for the past few days. The symptoms got worse every day. I started to sneeze, cough, and got a fever. I filled a prescription for some Penicillin called Ampicillina 500 mg per capsule from Mexico. I was instructed to take them every 8 hours, however, 3 pills a day seemed a bit much for me so I took one at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23rd, and then another one 8 hours later. The next dose would have been at 7:00 a.m., on Wednesday, May 24th, but I didn't take one till 9:30 a.m.. I forgot to take another 8 hours later, and I remembered this at 10:39 p.m., so I took another dose at 10:39 p.m.. I set an alarm this time but must have slept through it as I didn't wake up until 8:30 a.m., and I took the next dose at 8:39 a.m.. I do feel worse today, howeve...

I've taken amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for 21 days. I started out with a bad sinus infection and ear infection. I'm still running a low-grade fever, blowing thick yellow junk out of my nose & coughing up brown junk when i first get up. I've also been using floxanose nose spray and I'm aching in my back and sicker now than i was when i went to the doctor. What antibiotics can i take to get better (alongside methadone)? ## The discoloration of mucous does not always designate and infection, sometimes it just shows that your body is trying to fight something off. The Flonase can actually cause the symptoms you've described as a side effect, according to FDA reports. The Amoxicillin can also cause some problematic side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, ...

I've been taking cephalexin 500 mg 3 times a day for 5 days now for my upper respiratory infection and sinus infection per dr request but i still feel pretty rough. Still coughing and blowing out nasty stuff. Why isn't this working yet? ## Hi Janice, Sorry to hear about your situation. Depending the severity of the infection(s) some doctors prescribe these antibiotics for up to 7-10 days, so it's possible that you may not get full relief for another 2-5 days. On another note, Cephalexin also has some strange side effects that in my opinion could inadvertently be mistaken for an ongoing infection. This includes "coughing, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, tightness in the chest, etc". Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0044994/#DDIC603067.side_effects_section But n...

I took Ampicillin last night and I was wondering if I can take Clindamycin today? I have a sore throat and cough. ## Has your doctor instructed you to take them? It really depends on what has caused your illness. Antibiotics will only help with bacterial infections, but they will not help with a viral infection. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
