I have had the flu and severe swollen tonsils for 3 days. Someone gave me a package of Pentrexyl. Same thing happened 6 years ago and I also had to take an antibiotic. Assuming it's an infection, will this work for my tonsils? ## Hello, Andrew! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're ill.

i have a uti and have been taking 500 mgs every 6 hours. it seems to be helping alot but how long shoulfd i take it for, 5 days? ## Hi dez, Unfortunately, it's unethical for anyone but your doctor to tell you how long you're supposed to take an antibiotic that he/she prescribed you, based on the nature and severity of the infection. However, I will say that most antibiotics I've taken for bacterial infections have been prescribed for an average of 7-10 days; and I've personally never heard of anyone walking away with a 5 day prescription of antibiotics, but I'm sure there are some of those cases out there with minimal infections. Hope this helps! ## Being treated for a parasite. The pesticides we treated with resulted in bladder infections in both me & my boyfrie...

Can it cause a dirty drug test result? I'm in outpatient treatment. ## Ampicillin is a penicillin type antibiotic so it may result in a positive drug test for cocaine. What kind of tests are you taking? Urine? Blood?
