Throat Medicine

I have had a slight throat ache and nasal congestion with a fever of about 99.3. My doctor gave me ceftum 500 for 5 days. After 5 days fever still is coming up to 99.3 and becomes normal if I take a crocin. My wbc count is 11600 with nuetrophiles at 63%. is this some kind of viral infection as the antibiotic does not seem to help

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.

i have an 11yr old that has strep and cannot take z pac how much keflex 500 mg can give ## Hello, Tammy! How is your child doing? What has the doctor advised? 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 started using cymgen60 two months ago, to treat deppresion and anxiety. It was ok until I started to have these flu like symptoms i.e blocked nose, dry throat and mouth. My GP gave me nasal decogastant but it is not working. It helps for ten minutes, then I'm back to square one. Sometimes it becomes worse I feel like there is a thick flesh that is blocking my throat, my left ear is also blocked. ## Hello, Soso! How are you feeling? I'm sorry that you've been so miserable. This medication has been known to cause these types of side effects in some people that take it, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience loss of appetite, loss of voice, increased sweating and weight loss. You will most likely need to try a different medication. Is there anything else I can help w...

Hi Doctor I was diagnosed with acid reflux & placed on 6 months treatment of Altosec 10ml, over the past two months my throat & mount had been drying up causing me to drink lot of water & this gets better when I eat something, the dry throat & month is really uncomfortable at times if I don't pay attention to it I get dizzy & weak, lastly I've been getting a slight pain on the sides of my stomach - feels like my kidneys are uncomfortable. What could be the cause. of this conditions?

Every single day I wake up and spend about 5 minutes hacking up thick, yellow mucus. It is so thick it keeps me from swallowing and even blowing my nose. I have been to 3 Odontologists and no one has been able to help me. I have tried a number of nasal spays and prescription medications with no success. In contrast my nose runs excessively to the extent that I blow my nose on paper towels instead of tissues. Mucinex doesn't help either. I am desperate for some relief. Can someone help me? ## Have you tried an ENT, or an allergist/immunologist? It may not be directly related to your teeth, or an abnormality there. Allergies can cause the same type of symptoms and that would be outside the realm of an Odontologist. Additional question, do you smoke? ## No, I don't smoke. I have ha...

Our area doctor (general) gave me medicines for cold and flu and throat infection from his own clinic, is it safe to eat. The pill is round in shape, white colour, with plus sign on one side and the other pill is also round in shape, white colour, with minus sign on one side. Can you please suggest what pills are these and the names so that I can check on net, if it is safe.

both of old my little girls have strep throat and I believe they gave it to me I woke up with a really sore throat can't get into the doctor till next week I have some ampicillin From an bladder infection wanted to know if this will clear up strep throat as well and what else would I need to take it in there 500 milligrams ## Hello, Shelondra! How are you? I'm sorry that you are all ill. The FDA lists Ampicillin as an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, so it may help with strep, but you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor approves and confirms the presence of an infection. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take Amlodipine 5mg - it is sort of oval shaped and I find it difficult to swallow. I take it with nearly half a glass of water. However 2 days ago the pill got stuck at the back of my mouth and actually dissolved. I immediately felt a severe burning pain which was agony (I have a high pain threshold but this was unbearable). After some minutes the burning passed but for a time I couldn't eat or talk. My voice is still affected and at times drops to a whisper. I can't find anything relevant to this and I wonder if anyone else has experienced it. ## Many pills contain harsh ingredients that can cause those types of symptoms if the medication dissolves in your mouth or throat. I've experienced it several times, even just taking OTC Benadryl, it burned my mouth and made my to...

sore throat after taking "prolenza" and unfocused ## Hello, Cosette! How are you? Prolensa is classified by the FDA as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, it's most commonly used to treat pain and swelling of the eye, after cataract surgery. However, since it is applied directly to the eye, its side effects are usually limited to ocular ones and may include eye irritation, changed color vision, headache and itching of the eye. Have you consulted your doctor?

My child is 6. She has been taking sulfameth-trimeth for a few days now for a uti. However, she is complaining of a sore throat. Can I give her otc children's cough medicine while on this antibiotic? ## Hello, Sheila! How is your daughter? Cough medicine really won't do much to help a sore throat and it's best not to give her anything, without her doctor's approval. What infection is being treated? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash.

Why was chlo-tuss discontinued? I was prescribed this today and saw on the internet that it had been discontinued. ## I was prescribed Chlo Tuss Liquid and found out on this site that it was discontinued some time ago. Why was it "discontinued"? Was it a danger to patients, and why? Why is Chlo Tuss Liquid still prescribed and filled if it is discontinued? My symptoms: excessive nasal, sinus, chest congestion with night sweats, headache and body aches, excessive dry cough. The symptoms came suddenly within 8 hours of a dry scratchy throat. I am type-2 diabetic, hyperglycemic, with diabetic neuropathy, minor renal problems and also test+ for spinal stenosis. ## @Stanley, I haven't come across any specific details or official statements announcing Chlo-tuss being discontinued....
