Med For Throat Infection

What type of medication will help with what I'm assuming is an ear/throat infection? ## Hello, Adrian! How are you? It depends on the type and severity of the infection, but if it is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic will be needed and they are only available via doctor's prescription. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Do you get such infections regularly? Have you consulted your doctor?

Can I take Zifi 200 for a throat infection and coarse voice with a cough? ## This medication is an antibiotic, so it is only effective at treating bacterial infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Thus, it will not do anything for the hoarse voice and coughing. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I will be frequently getting throat infection. When i consult the doctor i came to know it happens due to dust and less consumption of Water. So please suggest me any tablet for emergency. ## Actually, if that's what's causing your problem, then the best solution would be to avoid dusty areas and drink more water. Prevention is much better and safer than taking repeated courses of medications. Medications cause the risk of serious side effects and complications, but there are none associated with drinking a little more water and staying away from dust. The only reason you can't do this would be if you're on a fluid restricted diet. Is there anything else I can help with?

FOR TWO DAYS THROAT INFECTION AND FEVER BODY PAIN ## Have you seen a doctor for this? There are several things that can cause such problems and if it is an infection, you will more than likely require an antibiotic, which can only be prescribed by a doctor. Such symptoms could be cause by the flu virus, in which case, it is not an infection and, while you can treat the symptoms, it just has to run its course. ## suffering from throat pain, body pain ## Lots of possibilities. Ask yourself these questions: Have you been around anyone with similar symptoms within 3-7 days; are you immunocompromised due to any medications and/or illness; have you or are you willing to they otc remedies such as Nyquil, dayquil, Advil cold and sinus, etc; are you prone to allergies (the time for pollen and ot...

I'm currently dealing with a tooth infection and unfortunately, I can't get an appointment with my dentist until Tuesday, and today is Friday. My wife has Cefdinir at home. Would that help reduce the swelling in my face? ## Hello, Witchdr! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the dental infection. According to MedlinePlus, “Cefdinir is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as bronchitis, infections of the skin, ears, sinuses, throat, and tonsils. Cefdinir is in a class of medications called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria.” [1] So while it can be used to treat oral infections, it may take several days to start having an effect and it may not reduce swelling immediately. To do that, it has to start eradicating the infecti...

You really need a medical professional to make sure that it's strep and then to prescribe the proper antibiotic, if it is, because if it isn't actually an infection, or the proper amount of an antibiotic isn't used you run the risk of them developing antibiotic resistance bacteria.

I have a bladder infection. Can I use zertalin azitromicina 250mg to cure it? If so, what dosage? ## According to Medlineplus.gov, Azitromicina (Azithromycin) is used to treat certain bacterial infections (ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs), including bronchitis, pneumonia and venereal diseases. I, however, did not see any information specifically stating an indication for bladder infections (or UTI's). That said, I think it would be important to consult your prescribing doctor and/or pharmacist just to be sure. It is also your prescribing doctor's duty to inform their patient about what dose to take for best results. Nevertheless, my guess is since its mechanism of action is so broad, bladder infections may not be out of the question. I hope this helps!

I have had at least five attacks of sudden excrutiating lower back pain during the last two years and my doctor says it isn'y a slipped disc but a problem with the soft tissue. Each attack takes about a week to get better. Oddly, before each attack I have had headaches, sneezing and a chronic sore throat. Is it possible that there is a connection? ## Hello, Hazel! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. As reported by the NIH, yes, there could be a connection. Sometimes severe coughing and sneezing can stress your diaphragm, which may cause those types of symptoms. Sometimes, severe coughing or sneezing can even cause bruised or cracked ribs. Are you on any medications? Do you suffer from allergies?
