Swim

on vacation i caught a cold. week later felt good and went swimming in outdoor pool. could not get the water out of my ears. Hear that i should not have used a Q-tip.ENT cleaned out ears and put me on one week of prednisone 20mg 1x a day and Amox tr-k clv 875-125mg tabs twice daily and triamcinolone 55mcg nasal spray twice a day. My problem is that my ears are still clogged almost like wearing ear muffs. There was never any pain. How long before my ears are unblocked and should i continue to clean out earwax at home. This started in the pool on Jan 5th and doctor on Jan 9th. Follow up is on Jan. 17th. Also, any questions i need to ask my doctor? I have no other medical conditions and just had a complete physical in December. Thanks for your help. ## Hello, Sony! How are you? Did your ea...

used many years ago in swimming pool as algecide and disinfectant. Now have swimming pool again and contemplating useing it again. This pool has salt chlorinater. Would this matter I wonder? ## I'm sorry, but since we provide information on prescription medications and their use in humans, I am unable to help you with any information on the use of a product in your swimming pool. Have you tried consulting a pool services specialist? They would be better able to advise you on this matter.

I was on Advair for years and then I slowly weaned myself off it with the permission of my doctor. After almost a year of not taking it though, it turns out that I have a low wheeze and I did notice that some physical activities were more difficult. My doctor prescribed Symbicort and the first 3 days it made me really constipated. That got sorted out and I noticed that I was able to breathe easier during certain physical activities. It's now been about 3 weeks and I'm dizzy and lightheaded and my anxiety has ramped up ALOT. Since Advair was working before I stopped taking it I'm not sure why I was prescribed Symbicourt. I want to stop taking it and go back to Advair. How long do I have to wait before taking the Advair? ## Hi SuperGurl007! B 4 switching medications, b sure yo...

I went to the doctor yesterday for swimmers ear in both ears.The problem had started a day before.When I went to the Doctor I was managing pain very well with Naproxen. I was given 500 mg Ciproflaxcin oral 1 pill 2 x daily and ofloxacin otic solution 0.3% 10 drops each ear 1 x daily. There is absolutely no relief in my right ear. It is actually much worse than when I went too see the Doctor 34 hours a go.Very swollen inside ear and face around ear is swollen and hot to the touch. I can not hear out of this ear, extreme pressure feels like heat in my ear and sharp pain as well as throbbing. I slept all night with a heating pad on my ear.The left ear however, is much better. So far I have taken 4 of the pills and have used the drops 5 times. I called the doctor today and she ordered me 20...

How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Ketorolac. The FDA classifies this mediation as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

So swim recently was in a injuring car accident. He has relived his pain very aggressively. He has taken 23 roxi 30’s and 2 op80’s in 4 days. He was not dependent on opiates prior to this but has taken them a couple times before with each time spaced out a couple months. He naturally has a high tolerance for opiates. He has now stopped treating his pain 24 hours ago due to enjoying his medication way to much. He has no signs of wd. Should he be expecting wd effects shortly? ## How are you doing, now? Did you experience any withdrawal effects? According to FDA reports, it can sometimes take a couple days for them to occur, depending on the amount taken, how they were taking, and each individual's metabolism. They warn that withdrawal effects may include nausea, fever, chi...

I have swimmers ear and to make it better i have a bottle of neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates and hydrocortosone otic solution usp. I used it a couple times made my ear feel really clogged and over all just worse. My worry is that the liquids just being trapped in there and im adding more just making it worse anyone used this before and know?? Please help had the infection since sunday night ## Hello, Kylie! How are you? I've had swimmer's ear and used these drops. That feeling is normal, when you use them, because in order to reach the infected part of the ear, you have to fill the ear canal with them. According to the FDA, for the best effectiveness, you should keep your head tilted to the side for 5 minutes, before straightening it and allowing the ear to drain. However no, ...

SWIM usually takes 4 10mg /325 oxycodone at once. This amount usually suffices but SWIM got these A333 white pills that are supposed to be 10oxy/325apap and took 4 with very little effect as other generics of same strength. I'm a little confused and a little pissed. Lol

Swim was on suboxone then he stoped taking it as i was on the biodone and he started running with me, he had around 12 mg of bio 24 hrs befor taking a quart of a 2 mg sub an hr later he took another quart an hr later he went into severe sweating, spuing ,diahrea and worst of all his whole body felt like it had been electrified,it has been 14 hrs and his skin is still on fire.Can anyone rekomend anything to ease this pain ## It sounds like he may have had an allergic reaction to the drug, but in cases like this I would highly recommend getting some activated charcoal to help rid his body of the drug. According to Dr. Al Sears, MD. he wrote an article that spoke of: "Most poisons in your body are attracted to charcoal even prescription drugs. Since your body reacts to most prescriptio...

I feel swimmy and very out of body, sort of. I don't have any sense of time and seem pretty confused. i have taken two 30 mg capsules, one yesterday morning, and one this morning. I plan to never touch one again. Any thoughts or advice? And to all who suffer, may you win your battles in your time and find sweet rest. Thanks. ## Hello, Rick! How are you doing? Those can be normal side effects, when you first start this medication. Things usually improve, after about 4 to 6 weeks, once your body adjusts to the medication. Other side effects may include dry mouth and weight changes. What others have you tried? What condition have you been diagnosed with?

Was out swimming and got sunburn on my back. Now i have hives on 1/4 of my body and fever. Itching and cannot sleep. ## Have you contacted your doctor? There are reasons that these medications usually list cautions about sun exposure, but your doctor may be able to suggest ways to alleviate the problem, such as some Benadryl, or something similar. ## I was exposed to the sun while taking the above medicine I have small red bumps mostly on my legs and arms. I started taking benadryl. How long after should they go away? ## Im having the same issue and my anniversary is in 2 days I really need to know how to make this go away too

Okay SWIM got some Xanax bars, currently have them. They work however I have a question about their "realness". When you search Xanax online all the white bars that come up have rounded edges yet these have squared edges like a rectangle. They have the normal imprints the Xanax and the 2 and they also are sit the normal way four lines. I just don't know about the realness because all the ones online are rounded on the edges not square like these. ## *Typo* Slit not sit, sorry everyone. SWIM could really use some help. ## Yes, the ones with that imprint are more rounded. Are these possibly foreign tablets? I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, ...

Swim's pal came across some white capsules that had no markings at all, just about as long as abe's head on a penny, and a little more than three pennies girth-wise. Swim's capsules contained extremely fine white powder and swim was told that said capsules are roxy 30mg. Trusting what swim's pal had told him, swim opened the capsule, tasted the powder (finest grain powder swim has ever come across mind you) and it was the unmistakable taste of oxycodone, only less of the bitter bite was noticeable. After some consideration and careful preparation, swim insufflated half of what was inside, and immediately noticed that it was in fact, an opiate. Swim then insufflated the other half of the powder and waited for the heavier effects. Swim says that the taste is REMARKABLY les...

SWIM told me that Modafinil has now been approved by the FDA for Refractory Depression, also called Treatment Resistant Depression, which would then be covered by Medicare Part D. This type of depression has certain things that a person has to have gone through in order to be considered having it. They are multiple combinations of Anti-depressants, or Anti-depressants and Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers without any success in helping the depression, which since 1983 Psychiatrists have had me go though without success. The second is the patient has have to have gone through Electro Shock Therapy, which hasn't helped me either. The last one is having, through major surgery, a device called the Vagus Nerve Stimulator implanted somewhere between my left underarm and breast and broug...

Multaq works quite good for me as I actively walk, swim and cycle with little if any consequence. As for the bad I am quite fatigued. House work and laundry often is put on the back burner. I am just finding out about the fatigue caused by the job. ## Multaq contains the active ingredient Dronedarone, it is used to treat Cardiac Arrhythmias. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness. You can read more here: There are some other threads that include the experiences of other users: IS there anything I can help you with? ## Hmmm...It seems I made an error in my initial statement I am just finding out about the fatigue caused by the job. It should read ...caused by this drug.

I just started xeljanz 6 days ago 10mg yesterday felt only slight pain so I went to gym, swimming, and was more active. Today the pain came back. Just wondering if I over did it or normal. How long did it take before you noticed any improvement? ## Hi, Susan! Sorry that you're in pain. Are you feeling any better? You may have overdone it getting that active that soon. I know we always want to do that, just rush out and do everything we've been unable to do for awhile, but sometimes you just can't let yourself, because your body requires more time.
