Is Cipro an antibiotic given for an Upper Resp. Infection? I ## Hi Cheri, The answer to your question is "yes", Ciprofloxacin can be used to treat a number of infections including: Upper and Lower respiratory tract infections (although it is not recommended as a first-line antibiotic choice for either of them). I would actually consider discussing with your doctor and/or pharmacy whether or not they think you should be using some other antibiotic (depending on how severe the infection is). The reason being, is that if you don't use the most effective antibiotic for your infection, then the bacteria can build a resistance to what you may be using; possibly rendering the treatment useless in the end. So yeah, I think it really depends on how severe your infection really is. If...

Can flagyl be used for an upper respiratory infection? ## Hello, Jannette! How are you? Was it prescribed by your doctor to treat it? This generally isn't the preferred medication for such infections, because most of them are viral and self-limiting. However, in some cases, they may be bacterial and could require an antibiotic and/or a steroid, which may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness and diarrhea, as reported by the FDA.

I feel like I might have an upper respiratory infection will these pills help with my two week congested chest? ## Hello, AuntBebe! How are you? Amoxicillin is a broad spectrum antibiotic, so it can treat many types of bacterial infections. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, it will only treat an infection, so you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has confirmed that you have one and an antibiotic is necessary. Taking it inappropriately creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is also true if you don't have enough to complete a full course of treatment. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I use any type of antibiotics to cure a chest infection

I've taken Elmiron since 2012. Honestly, I found that I had bacterial infections that were not found by a normal lab. I used PathOGenius, in Lubbock TX. Molecular testing is the only way to identify these Biofilms. If you have a toe fungus, a sore, a upper respiratory infection that just wont go away, get in touch with PathOGenius or Granger Labs. My urine was sent to them and it took around 3 weeks to get all results back. Believe me, I am so much better! I was house bound before. ## I'm interested in your case. I take Elmiron for IC and for the past month have had several test in my vaginal area as I know I have an infection.
