Ear Aches

i have a ear ache in both ears can i use this medicine ## Since you didn't post under a specific medication, or category, I am not sure what medication you are asking about. Have you consulted a doctor? Proper treatment will depend on what is causing the earaches and there are several possibilities. If your ears are just irritated from being clogged, due to wax, you will require a cleaning. However, this could also be caused by an infection, which will require an antibiotic.

I've recently had symptoms of a head cold. Now, my right ear and under my right chin aches. Can I take Guaifenex PSE to heal the symptoms. If not, what should I do. Feels like the head cold is not quite gone. Please advise. ## If it is the result of an infection that has set in, in your sinuses and it sounds like it may have moved to your glands, this will not cure it. You will need to see a doctor to get an antibiotic. ## Unfortunately, I have no insurance coverage. Is there an over the counter med. I can take? - like some kind of decongestant that can help? I've been told that this may be an option along with Tylenol for the pain. Please advise. ## Decongestants may help, but as I said, if it is from an infection, then nothing is going to solve the problem other than an antibi...

I went in with bad ear aches and was obviously told I have ear infections. I was given amoxicillin along with Neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates and hydrocortisone otic solution, usp. It was fine the first two days then the third day and today it burns my right ear very badly. I can't keep it in the 5 min. My left ear still feels no major pain when using. Is this normal?? ## Yes, the FDA does list that as being a possible side effect of this medication, you may also experiencing redness, drainage, and itching. If it is that severe, you might need to consult your doctor about trying a different medication, or sticking with oral antibiotics, it might be that this isn't the right one for you. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

ive been having ear problems an no meds the doc gave me worke. went to a ear specialist and saw nothing wrong .but it still aches, he gave me this to put in my ear is that ok to use, ## Hi Denise, Sorry to hear about your ear infection. I realize this post is from a while back, so I hope you've managed to get things under control at this point in time. For future reference though, Clotrimazole + Betamethasone dipropionate is comprised of an antifungal + glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory & immunosuppressive properties. It's generally applied as a lotion, gel, topical cream or ointment. However, I don't see anything that says it's good for a bacterial infection (unless it's fungus related)... So you may need to get a second or third opinion on what trea...

I used to take oxycontin (all where white) for years without any problem, Just started taking them again in dosage of 20mg. I have terrible stomach aches and mouth sores which my entire tounge is starting to turn white. It is painful on my tounge and in my throat and ears. If I scrape it off it bleeds. Besides that I am getting great pain relief from the stluff! Is there any way I can get hold of the old oxycontins or another formulation? I read other people were nausiated from the op's and I did not belive the but I do now. ## Hello, Mia! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. As to the original Oxycontin, no, it is no longer being manufacturer. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such ...

started taking Bactrim over a week ago due to an acute kidney infection. Began to experience dizziness a day ago, pain behind the ears started on the left side with a bump and then felt pain on the right side the next morning. Body aches as well. Today I woke up with a rash all over my body that itches and almost has like a burning sensation. Can I take Benadryl with Bactrim to help with the rash? ## Yes, you can experience an allergic reaction that late into a course of it. I had it happen to me 9 and a half days in, I had one dose left, but had to see my doctor and stop taking it. The sad thing is that when i got those bumps, which in my case were swollen glands, I went to the ER and the doctor there did not recognize it as an allergic reaction, so I kept taking it for a few more days...

I was earlier taking Deplatt A 75/75 after lunch and atorva 10 before bed at night. Last week the prescription was changed as i was complaining of gas and sleeplessness to just clopitorva 10/75 at night. Now i suffer from severe hip and knee joint pains at late night thro morning which often the lasts whole day. Should I revert? ## You should take the medication your doctor has instructed you to take, joint and muscle aches can be side effects of this medication, along with nausea, dizziness, and headache, according to the NIH. However, these side effects usually go away, once your body gets used to a medication, but that may take about 4 to 5 weeks. How long have you been taking this new one?

I have bitten my tongue a few months ago and my work had me travel out of the US.

I am 79 yrs old & had been in excellent health until a heart attack in January 2014 requiring 3 stints. Then in early April I had a mild stroke & 1 week later had 2 seizures-wherein I fractured a vertabrae & had kyphoplasty. I take atorvastatin 20mg (1 daily)clopidogrel 75 MG (1 daily) metformin 500 mg, Lisinopril 10 mg (1 daily) and just started Levetirecta 500 mg- twice daily. I have begun to have excruciating stomach aches. Stomach Xray & ultra sound revealed no internal organ issues. Are these drugs interacting or is that an too high dosage of Levetirecta? ## Hello, Jerry! How are you feeling? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. Several of the medications that you're taking carry the risk of causing gastritis, so that could be what's cau...

I started taking the medication yesterday and took 6, today i take 5, then 4, and 3, etc so for 6 days total. I am taking this along with Augmentinj 875 mg, every 12 hours. I have had a horrible sinus/ ear infection for at least 3 months and haven't been able to taste food or smell anything. Body aches, headaches, horrible anxiety and terrible fatigue. Mid day yesterday I started feeling so much better, my sense of smell came back last night and I cried. I enjoyed dinner so much I could finally taste food. I've never taken this medication before and was afraid to google it. Upon looking I see many negative things. So far I have had a great experience with this steroid pack and wish I would have taken it sooner. I hope my symptoms don't return or i have withdrawals. I'm a...

Looking for a doctor who isn't afraid to write me a script for Roxicodone. I have been on 5's ER for 10 years and have built up a tolerance to them, I don't abuse them, I am allergic to anti inflammatory drugs which causes anaphylaxis... I have severely herniated discs in my neck and back and injections don't work. Physical therapy made the pain unbearable, the headaches and constant ear aches are unbearable. The only thing that works for me are the Roxicocdones. I don't think it's fair that people who don't need them and abuse them ruin it for those of us who need them... can't someone please point me in the right direction here in Syracuse NY?

I have been to a neurologist, a rheumatologist, i've been for an M.R.I., and also been for more blood tests than I can count. All because of side effects I had been having for nearly two years. Here are a list of symptoms I had while taking Bupropion HCL SR 150mg: *dry mouth, *severe headache, *increased sweating, *joint aches, *blurred/tunnel vision, *dizziness, *chest pain, *fainting/black out, *irregular heartbeat, *hearing problems/ringing in the ears, *agitation, *confusion, *anxiety, *shaking, *weakness, *hallucinations, *swelling/numbness in face, tongue & lips, *high blood pressure. My doctor's first concern was stroke. The neurologist ruled that out because the symptom of numbness/tingling would start in my mouth and move to my hand/fingers over the course of an hou...

Enbrel induced- Optic Neuritis-Hi everyone, I am 29 years old and took Enbrel for 2 1/2 year (from 2010-2013). I had to discontinue use because I developed optic neuritis. IN the past 15 months my vision has worsened. My latest eye scan showed that I have lost 25% vision in my right eye and 10% vision in my left, IN 1 YEAR, due to the Enbrel induced ON. Please get your eyes checked if you are taking a biologic!!! Most biologics are associated with ON. Symptoms start as dull to sharp eye pain, vision changes, and head aches. Very important!!! The vision loss I have experienced in permanent but if you catch it early on it can be reversible. -------Much Love-----Elisabeth ## Hi, I am 52 years old,have had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 12 yrs old.

I was put on amoxicillin for throats and ears. 9 days later I was feeling worse and put on different kind of antibiotic. Still felt terrible and put on steroid pack. At first I saw improvement but since have went downhill fast. Please help. ## Hello, Susie! How are you? What types of symptoms are you experiencing? There's a chance that what you're feeling are side effects from the steroid. As reported by the FDA, they can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety and body aches, as well as others.
