I am getting a bad cold by the feel of it. Is azitromicina good for that and if so how would I take it Dosage I also have bad sinus infection probably chronic would it also work for that? Thanks Yvonne ## The drug I want to take is call a Z pack I purchaed it in Mexico ## Hello, Yvonne! How are you? This is listed by the FDA as containing the antibiotic Azithromycin, which is used to treat bacterial infections. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It will only treat bacterial infections, so it could help, if you have a sinus infection, but it will not do anything to treat a cold, since they are caused by viruses. Taking it inappropriately creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, ...

I need too things, I have pentrexy (Ampicillin) is the same as Azithromycin? If not what the big differences. Do they kill bacteria ## Hi Debbie, Your first question asks whether or not Ampicillin is good to take for a bacterial infection. The answer is yes, as all antibiotics are made for this specific purpose. To answer your second question, no, Ampicillin and Azithromycin are two different types of antibiotics. Namely, each one may be better or worse for certain types of infections. These factors are also influenced by how well each patient responds to their treatment; whereas it may well work for some people and just not as effectively for others, due to allergies, side effects or what-have-you. If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help...

Can I use this medicine now? I will see dr. tomorrow. ## Hello, Angie! How are you? The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic, so it will only teat bacterial infections. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, it will not alleviate the pain. In order for this to help with the pain, it has to start fighting the infection and that will take several days.

I've been on amoxicillin for 3 days now for a gum infection.. within the first day my whole right side of my face swelled up and on the second day my eye was so swollen I could barely open it... its the third day and now not only am I dealing with all this swelling but now my gums are bleeding... is this normal? ## Hi micki, To be completely honest, the reactions you're experiencing don't seem "normal" by any means, but are unfortunately side effects of Amoxicillin. You should speak with your doctor immediately, so the condition doesn't worsen. He/she may need to prescribe a different antibiotic or lower the dosage. You may also want to consider taking a probiotic while on the antibiotic, to reinstate good bacteria in your body. Have you had negative reactions wi...

I have cough and runny nose sneezing..an groggy feeling..I am coughing up an blowing green yellowish mucus..wanted to know if penicillin vk is good for infection? ## Hello, Patrick! How are you? I'm sorry that you're ill. Yes, it is an antibiotic that can be used to treat many types of bacterial infections. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has verified the presence of an infection and prescribed it for you. It might not be the right antibiotic to treat your infection, or you may not have enough to fully eradicate the infection and both scenarios create the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

i have what i believe to be cellulitus in my calf area and my foot is enlarged ptetty good. ive had this before but not as bad what antibiotic is most used on this infection and the dosage? ## Hello, Mike! How are you? It really depends on which bacteria has caused the infection. For instance, if it is due to MRSA, then the preferred antibiotic would be Bactrim, usually one double strength tablet, every 12 hours for anywhere from 10 to 14 days. However, it is not an appropriate antibiotic for all types of bacteria. Thus, it would be best to have the infection cultured by your doctor to discover the best treatment. The FDA lists typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Need to find broad spectrum antibiotics ASAP, or at least to know which kind is the best? Live in Houston TX. Infection spreading help. Doctors won't give what I know will work. ## Hi ron, What specific antibiotic are you inquiring about at the doctor's office? If one doctor isn't willing to give you what you feel might be best for the infection, perhaps it would be a good idea to ask this doctor why they think something else might be better suited for the type of infection you're dealing with. My guess is that it's probably for a very good reason, as some strains of bacteria are more resistant against certain antibiotics than others. And not to be mistaken for medical advice, but depending on the type of infection you have and how severe it is, another thought is to...

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 developed a severe fungal infection internally in my neck and vagina after taking natural wild organic mushroom capsules. I already had bacterial cellulitis in neck so this is probably why it developed there. I was choking on my own neck tissues n had a hacking cough. I My could feel the spores inside of my neck like tree roots n im not joking. My doc basically didn't believe this could happen n refused to prescribe antifungal. Luckily I had one at home anyway from before that I hadnt needed to use. I took it n next morning I was spitting up yellow mucus that was very smooth like cottage cheese weird I know but I guess thats the fungus coming out. The same thing happened next morning n then stopped. It killed off a good bit of fungus but was still a good bit left at same time but it
