I have a abscess under my front bottom right tooth in the gums. I have no med insurance or money due to being out of work for last 5 yrs. Can someone take this for the infection. And how much would someone take? ## Hi, Dee! I'm sorry about the problem you're having, I've been there myself, but this is an issue that you really need to see a dentist and have treated. Many places in the U.S. have low-income dental clinics now that have emergency walk-in hours, so you may be able to get treatment free or at a significant discount and you really need to look into it. The reason I am saying this is because treating the infection will not help with the underlying reason for the infection. An abscess is usually caused by a deep cavity that has been left untreated for too long and de...

I am prescribed this drug for recurrent middle ear infection. Do I still need to drink plenty of water taking this medicin? ## Hi Pratik D, I would just recommend listening to your body and staying hydrated throughout the day as needed. However, drinking a gallon of water a day is usually adequate for most individuals who are active and require more hydration. The instructions for taking this medication note the following: "Co-trimoxazole comes as a tablet and a liquid to take by mouth. It usually is taken two times a day but may be taken up to four times a day for severe lung infections. Drink a full glass of water with each dose." Referenced from: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000814/#a684026-how I hope this helps!

I have recurrent UTI every 10 weeks and take Sulfameth Trim, two per day for 7 days. Due to the side effects I experience can I stop them after 5 days or is that too soon? ## If the UTI is recurring that frequently, it sounds like this isn't the right antibiotic for you, to begin with. Has your doctor had you try any others? Every medication carries the risk of side effects, so that is something you will probably have to face with any antibiotic. They can include: nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and skin rash. What other steps do you take to try to prevent the infection from recurring?
