Buro-sol has been removed from the Canadian market and states it's discontinued. I have used this product to manage a chronic infection that I have had for the past 45 years. Its the only medication that helped manage it. Not one specialist has been able to correct the reoccurring infection. Is there another close alternative that's availableL

I don't even know where to start. I have sores all over my legs and arms that have gotten infected. Behind my right ear I drained a big cyst and a smaller cyst (which at the time I thought was a pimple), my gums have infection coming out and I had either one huge everywhere or a couple cysts in my vagina that have drained. Some of the sores have healed and others have gotten worse. The skin by the corners of my nails where they are dried and cracked are starting to release infection. Dr gave me Bactrim without a visit. I'm scared it is something worse than he believes it to be. ## Hello, Jamie! How are you? Has there been any change? You really need to have your doctor check these out and do a culture to see what is causing them. The FDA lists the typical Bactrim side effects as...

Do doxytet work in curing ear infections if not wat can I get? ## Oral antibiotics can work, but they are generally not as fast and effective as the liquid antibiotics drops that you actually put in the ear. Learn more Doxytet details here. Was this the antibiotic prescribed for you to use? Learn more ear infection details here. The other advantage of the ear drops is that many of them also contain small amounts of steroids that can help with any inflammation and pain that you may be experiencing.

I have an ear infection with a totally blocked ear. I also have some nitrofurantoin left over from a uti. Will this antibiotic help my ear infections ## Hello, Diana! How are you? You need to see your doctor to have the presence of an infection confirmed and, if you do have one, they'll need to prescribe you a full course of an appropriate antibiotic to treat it. And you should always finish the full course of any prescribed antibiotic, to avoid the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, is Pliva 334 good for treating ear infections in adults? I have 6 pills of it and wanted to know if it will be effective! ## This medication is an antibiotic that is commonly used to treat bacterial infections.

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 have an infection in one of my teeth and was given Tetracycline to take for 10 days. Now I may have an ear infection. Can both infections be cured with one type of antibiotic?

The FDA lists typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. And yes, you are correct again, it will not do anything to treat a virus. Is there anything else I can help with?

mucus ,short of breathe, minor wheezing, coughing ## Hello, Wes! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so it will only help with bacterial infections.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed? ## I have used Amoxil for bronchitis and ear infections before. As long as it is bacterial it should treat a broard spectrum of illnesses.

my ear [ right ] became plugged up from a real bad sinus infection and i can no longer hear at all out of it. Will Doxycycline help me. i am afraid i might go deaf if i dont get help quick. ## Doxycycline is a wide spectrum antibiotic that treats many skin, ear, and respiratory infections (including sinusitis). If this is something your doctor prescribed, I would definitely encourage you to give it a chance and see if you notice any progress over the duration that its been prescribed for. Unfortunately there's no real way to know for sure how well it will work for your ear until you actually try it. Are you certain that the loss in hearing was due to a sinus infection and not something else, like nerve damage? If you're not sure, it may be wise to clear that up with a proper dia...

my ear [ right ] became plugged up from a real bad sinus infection and i can no longer hear at all out of it. Will Doxycycline help me. i am afraid i might go deaf if i dont get help quick. ## Sorry to hear about your situation. Based on my research, Doxycycline can be used for a variety of bacterial infections (including sinus infections). Unfortunately there's no way of knowing ahead of time how well you'll end up responding to Doxycycline, without understanding your medical history, current health, lifestyle, and other individual factors that determine an antibiotics overall effectiveness. I can only assume that your doctor made the right decision by prescribing you something strong for an infection like this. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Doxycycline Det...
