Prescribed 150mg clindamycin 4x/day for throat infection. Have taken 4 doses. See sores on the side and back of my throat. Am very concerned. Do I stop taking it. ## To be honest, it is most likely that any sores you see have been caused by the infection, rather than the antibiotic that is intended to clear it up. Learn more Clindamycin details here. Have you consulted your doctor? What type of infection was it? If it was strep, it can cause those types of stores to appear.

Good day, I started a dose of urbanol 5mg capsules 5 days ago. I do feel the edge going off, because I was extremely anxious and had bad panic attacks. I feel it does help, although I'm not 100% yet. I have a very sore throat. Could that be a side effect? To add, I am a smoker and have been smoking more. Any advice if its a side effect and does smoking cause anxiety? Thank you. ## Hello, Natasja! How are you feeling? Yes, smoking may cause anxiety due to the nicotine, it acts as a stimulant and any kind of stimulant could do that. As to the sore throat, it is more likely that it's due to the increased smoking, or you may just be ill. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Urbanol/Clobazam as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness. It also carries the ri...

Generic omeprazole by Dr Reddy and Mylan worked fine for me. Sandoz omeprazole gave me a chronic sore throat. ## we purchased 40 mg omeprazole from CVS pharmacy. the blue bottle had a Mylan logo and a microdisplay pill picture of blue/green tablet with 5222 on the label. inside the bottle was a tan/white capsule marked "OME 40". This is a Sandoz mark for omeprazole. These pills were ineffective and sore throat with esphogeal effects unchanged. later real 40 mg Mylan 5222 from Rite Aid worked perfectly. what are literature citations regarding CVS practice and quality for the Sandoz product. I feel tricked by what may be deceitful conduct ## Hello, Pearl and David! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you both had. However, CVS isn't required to provide you with a...

Are there any drug stores that sell aspergum? Or anything that is real good for a sore throat and cough. ## Hello, Susie! How are you? I'm sorry, but Aspergum was removed from the market years ago, due to the risk it posed of accidental poisonings, since many children just thought it was regular gum, according to FDA reports. Though Retrobrands did buy the trademark this year and say they plan to relaunch the product. I'm not sure what is available where you live, you may want to ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend something. There are several liquid cough and cold syrups available that contain ingredients that may help. Are you on any other medications? ## I will be so happy if they bring it back to the market it used to get rid of sore throat pain quicker than anything ...

I am on day 4 of Methylprednisolone for bronchitis which was giving me asthma like attacks. Now I have a sore throat is this a side effect of this drug? I have two days to go on it ## Hello, Lee! How are you? It's difficult to say, it could be from the coughing and asthma like effects of the bronchitis. Though this medication is classified by the FDA as a steroid and it can cause dry mouth, as well as acne, nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness and insomnia as side effects, so some of those could also contribute. Have your finished your course of treatment, yet? Are you still having the sore throat?

For the past 3 days I've been feeling bad. Started with a sore throat then it was my ear, then it was being being super tired. I wasn't sure what it was bc I been feeling some slight chills as well. There has been a major change of weather so I was thinking that this could all be sinus related. The only thing that seemed to really work was a super hot shower... afterwards I felt perfect but hours later I feel bad again

I have been on Gabapentin for 2 years for diabetic neuropathy, building up to 300mg x 3 times daily. Six months age I started getting a sore and burning feeling in my throat, which causes me to continually cough to clear my throat. I have had a camera down my throat and nothing bad showed. An x-ray showed I had some fluid in the base of my lungs -could this cause the soreness as well as the persistent cough? I tried reducing the Gabapentin to 200mg x 3 times and the cough eased a lot, but the nerve pain got worse so I increased it again ## Hello, Pamopal! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, it is most likely from the fluid, the cough and throat clearing could be what's actually causing the soreness. Gabapentin can also cause dry mouth and throat...

I have been prescribed Sulfamethoxazole-TMP. I have been on it for 4 days now, taking 2 pills a day and all of a sudden I have developed a sore throat with no other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this side effect just a minor one or could it develop into something more serious? Thank you. ## It isn't a normal side effect. Have you consulted your doctor about it? What type of infection are you being treated for? Could it be related to that? ## OMG this just happened to me. I was taking it for a skin infection and got the worse sore throat. I could not figure out what it came from until I read your post!

SORE THROAT SO BAD THAT I SPIT BLOOD WHEN I CLEAR MY THROAT. ## I have a very bad sore throat and need to know which antibiotic, amoxicilina or ampicilina, is best to treat this sore throat. ## Both Amoxicillin and Ampicillin can be used to treat infections, however, it is very important to be certain that it is being caused by an infection of some type. If the sore throat has been caused by something like a virus, allergies, just being hoarse or a myriad of other things, then antibiotics will not help. In addition, if you use them inappropriately you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Have you consulted a doctor, yet? ## dry hacking cough/sinus problem ## I am having dry cough from past 5 days. I am using ciprodac 500 (ciprofloxacin) and Leekug-SG. please suggest...

I have been waking up with sore throats since the past two days. It's really painfully and creates a lump in my throat which causes problems for me to swallow. But after sometime, it's perfectly fine. Taking alerid d before going to sleep will help it cure? ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? It really depends on what is causing the problem. This is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions, so it is only going to help, if it is an allergy that is causing the problem. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, drowsiness and dry mouth. Have you consulted your doctor? This can also occur due to acid reflux, and if that is what's causing it, you'll need a different medication to help.
