How many days does trixazole take to boost your immune system in order for your cd4 count to be up? ## Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in my investigation, trixazole does not appear to be the correct spelling of the alleged medication... Did you mean to say Triazole or Tinidazole by chance? Triazole is an antibiotic containing a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim; used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Tinidazole is also an antibiotic/anti-parasitic that treats a variety of bacterial/parasitic infections... But just so you're aware, antibiotics of this nature do not boost the immune system. They simply kill off the bad (and good) bacteria. If you're trying to boost your immune system, my personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with a stead...

I have what I think were some type spider or some other type of insect bites 5 of them, they sort of look like a Brown Recluse bite, but not as bad. They turned into ugly open sores within a few hours, just like a Brown Recluse Spider bite would do. The doctor says the it now looks like cellulitis, that's a skin infection below the outer skin layers. So the bites went deep into the hypodermis skin layers .My doctor gave me some other type of antibiotic for 10 days 2000 mg a day. They cleared up some, but are still ugly pits, Yesterday, the doctor gave me the SMT 800/160 drugs. Take 2 per day, for 10 days. As of tonight, I have not had any side effects, but with only 4 pills in my system, it may be to early for side effects to show up. I will try to come back later in the week and po...

I have a tattoo (red ink) that is infected. I have these left over from misdiagnosis in Sept. Can I take these to help infection go away I am washing with Ivory soap and bactrishun with zinc I am on no other meds and very healthy ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic that can treat various types of infections, but if you only have 'left overs' then you likely don't have enough to properly treat and fully eradicate the infection and not taking enough of them creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Learn more Bactrim details here. The best thing you can do is see a doctor for a new prescription. How did you end up with an infected tattoo?

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...

My mother has an abscess tooth and there is not enough left to pull. She does not have insurance so she can not pay to get it cut out. She is prescribed an antibiotic but cannot afford it. I had an infection a few weeks ago and still have some of my antibiotics left and i need to know if she can take them for this. ## Having 'some' of your antibiotics isn't going to be enough to give her a full course and destroy the infection. (You should have finished all of them, when you were taking them, actually.) In addition, even a full course of antibiotics is not going to solve the problem, with a tooth in that shape, she will just keep getting recurring infections and letting a dental infection like that go untreated can be very dangerous. What I'd recommend is looking for a d...
