I catch frequent colds and fevers... I almost have a cold every day and that results in a fever as well and my nasal septum is shifted to the right side and changed my nose structure... I need your help. ## Hello, Kar! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. The virus that causes colds would not infect you that frequently, or continuously. It also rarely causes fevers. Thus, it is more likely that you have a sinus infection, which will require an antibiotic to eradicate, being that they are usually bacterial in nature. When did this start? Sometimes a cold can make you more susceptible to an infection, so it may have started with one awhile ago. What have you tried taking to treat it? Have you consulted your doctor? ## I'm 30 years old and have been su...

My 1.5 year old baby has a cough and cold. The doctor told me to give my baby Solvin. I have given Solvin for the cough. Is it the wrong medication? ## You should follow the doctor's instructions, this medication is commonly used to treat cold symptoms. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia. How is your baby doing? Has there been any change?

My son is 5 months old weighting 5 Kg. He is suffering from a cough and cold and he was given Ofloxacin suspension (Brand Name: NEOF) and no improvement after 4 days also. Is it a better medicine for cough and cold? Please advise me on the issue. ## Ofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics known as Quinolone Antibiotics. These antibiotics have been banned in the United States for children for their potential to cause tendon, cartilage, joint and muscle problems and the FDA found that these problems were too risky to give this drug to growing children. It would be prudent to ask your doctor for an alternative antibiotic to any of the Quinolones, as it is simply too risky to give them to children. In addition, this is an antibiotic, and antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections. ...

Her E.R. doctor prescribed her amoxicillin 400mg/5 ml and she is supposed to take 10ml by mouth two times a day. Is this too much? She is only 40 lbs. ## It should be given to her according to the doctor's instructions. At her age, it is prescribed by weight and severity of the infection being treated. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am having a mild fever with a cough and cold and running nose since 4 days. I've taken paracetamol & Leon but my fever is still not going away and neither is the cold. ## A cold is caused by a virus, so an antibiotic will not help with that. An antibiotic will only help with a bacterial infection. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My husband is 57yrs old and he's been coughing productively for a month with wheezing, difficulty breathing, taking cough syrup and not getting better.

I want to know about New and old medicines salts and brand names ## I am sorry, but there are so many medications available that it would be impossible for anyone to list them all for you. The available list varies from country to country and if you include over the counter items, it gets even bigger. Is there something specific that you need information on? ## Hey, like your post, i know more about Generic Pills.

Hi I'm 21 years old & I always have back pains while trying to sleep. I also have a bad knee (most likely from jumping out of trees when I was younger) I haven't been working so I've been able to mange the pain by getting hot baths and trying to relax when they so occur. My main worry is now that I will be going back too doing heavy construction / Road work as a labor in about a month from now, When I was doing this work before my right knee ( my bad one ) would always give out on me when carrying heavy material & trying to take a step up carrying stuff. After my knee gives out on me, the rest of the day even walking on it I'm useally in bad pain & it makes doing my job a lot harder. Ive always kept some aleeve & even some ibuprofen 800 in my lunchbox for wh

my son is 7 months old and had cold. shall i give zyrcold syr. to him ## Unless the medication specifically states that you can give it to an infant, I would highly recommend taking him to a nurse or urgent care instead of just giving him some pills. They can better evaluate an easy long term solution in person, as no one over the internet can possibly know his medical history (if any) or how this medication affects him at that age, as well as the benefits or disadvantages that it provides him.

Our grandson was prescribed the liquid pink Amoxicillin recently. He is 13 years old and quite capable of swallowing pills. Why would a doctor prescribe this method to someone this age? Also, when the doctor was told that the boy was leaving, the next day, on a trip and there was no way to refrigerate this med, we were told that he would get it in it's powdered form and it could be mixed with sterile water. WTH, why not just prescribe an antibiotic in pill form? I don't understand this kind of stupidity! ## The pills tend to taste horrible, so it is often easier to get a child of this age to swallow a flavored liquid. It doesn't mean the doctor is being stupid, but rather that they are trying to ensure the child will take all of it, as prescribed. The FDA lists its typical s...

The old formulation of Opana (octagonal) was far superior than oxycodone in relieving severe chronic pain. Opana is a time released medication that is extremely potent Because of people who abused it, several people died due to overdose. The FDA mandated that Opana be reformulated to deter abuse. The new Opana is, at least for me, totally ineffective although the extremely high cost remained. As of June 2013, there is a generic available although it is still outragesly expensive. ## And once again, what is relevant to you is not necessarily applicable to everyone else. While Opana may have worked better for you than Oxycodone, there are other people who didn't have good luck with it and got much better results from Oxycodone. Learn more Opana details here.

Our 2 yr old has been taking Advair for about a month and wow, things have changed with his sleep! He only sleeps about 6-7 hrs in a 24 hr span and that's only if he's being held and not in his crib! When he wakes up it seems he's having night terrors. Has anyone else had this experience! If you have then advise, please! ## Hello, Patty! How is he doing? These oral steroids can cause insomnia and excitability, which could explain the problems he's having. Have you talked to his doctor? You may need to adjust the dosage or try him on a different medication. ## Verwon, he goes to the asthma dr tomorrow! I just hope the dr doesn't try to talk us into keeping him on the Advair! We will refuse it! Thanks for your input!

They are very small and only have a 2 on one side. They were in a small glass bottle so they are probably old, but i still want to find out what they are. Any help would be awesome ## To be honest, if they are old then that lowers that chances of them being identified. I am not saying it's not possible, but it does lower the likelihood of it happening. Mainly due to the fact that once a medication is discontinued, the imprint changed or etc. then it is no longer listed in the databases. The imprint can even be used again for an entirely different medication, after some time has passed. Just as an example, since I don't know if that's what this is, but at one point there was a 2mg Diludid pill with a 2 on it that was small and white, it is a narcotic that contains the active ...
