I am from Mumbai India. I am having swelling & pain in my left testicle. Please advise me which antibiotic to use? Thank you. ## Hi Raj! The problem you are having needs to be looked at by a doctor. There could be different reasons for this happening. You can't just take any medication without first seeing a doctor to properly diagnose the problem. ## Thanks CATS68, I went to my doctor & he prescribed Zerodol-SP and Mahacef XL 200 twice a day after meals.

I have an infected tooth, a friend gave me these pills for the infection will they work? ## Hi Jenn, To answer your question, yes, Doxycycline will cover dental infections (although penicillin or amoxicillin are generally the more preferred options for this type of infection). Just make sure you follow a consistent dosing regime over however many days it takes, so you can be sure that the infection is gone.

I had my gallbladder removed last year and I am still getting pains. The doctor said I have an ulcer that's swollen inside, so he gave me metazol and doxycycline.

I found a tick embedded in my leg. I had an appointment with a dermatologist and asked about this bite which was red, and was given a 7 day course of antibiotics (doxycycline 100mg). Will this help tick bites? ## Usually, an antibiotic is given after a tick bite to prevent the infections they can sometimes cause, such as Lyme's Disease. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm taking an antibiotic 2x/day for a tick bite (and possibly Lyme disease). I take the first dose at 10 am and the second one at 5:30pm with dinner.

Can I take doxycycline 100mg for a toothache? I'm also taking Lisinopril 20 mg and Bupropion 75mg. ## John Docycline is not a pain reliever it wouldn't have any pain relieving properties.Ibuprophen is excellent for tooth pain it's an OTC med. ## Can I take the antibiotic for a bad tooth that is abscessed with the other two drugs? ## @John, If there's really a bacterial infection present, then killing the infection with an antibiotic makes sense and will probably help alleviate pain that the infection was causing. As to the efficacy of Doxycycline being used for this purpose, I do think there may be better options on the market. However I haven't come across any details suggesting not to take that particular drug combination of Lisinopril, Bupropion and Doxycycline. A...

Hi. I went to clinic on monday for my papsmear for the first time and during that course the nurse discovered that I have a lot of discharge, so she prescribed green doxytet capsules. As I continued to take them I noticed a few side effects: tiredness, loss of appetite, and de thick discharge in de mornings. On the 4th day I used it I couldn't sleep at night. I felt in my chest a kind of pain as if I had swallowed something hard and in the morning I couldn't swallow or even drink tea as it felt like I had inflammation till now in the afternoon. My question is, should I continue with the medication or not? Please help. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, but it never hurts to consult a doctor or nurse to be sure. Other side effects, as reported by the NIH, may...

I went yesterday and the dentist determined an abscess and needing a root canal. The pain is unbearable. I am taking the 100mg of doxy but curious if I could take more to help kill the infection sooner? So far I am only 2 doses in but am prescribed to take 1 a day... I'm thinking I have a few more days of pain left before the doxy really kicks in.... The pain is literally putting me in tears and I have 3 small children to be caring for.... Don't have time for the pain! ## Hello, Ali! How are you doing? Has there been any change? The general rule for antibiotics is that, if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after the first 24 hours of dosing and you should start to see improvement after a full 3 days. If nothing has improved, then you may need to return to you...

I just recently received the doxy-cycl hycl 100mg capsule to treat gonerrhea. I'm supposed to take it today but I cannot swallow such a huge capsule.

I am the care giver for my wife and she has been diagnosed with staff infection, 3 small open sores on her butt. (by a PA filling in for our family doctor). The PA prescribed DOXY- CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. After reading all the side affects that were listed on the info sheet that came with the prescription and information at this web site I decided not to give her this medicine till we have talked to our Doctor. We think her condition is pressure sores or bed sores. Our Doctor will be back next week (9 days from now). The PA also prescribed a pain pill for the discomfort. Do you think it is best and wait to see our Dr. that we have been seeing for 28 years? ## Hello, Jar! How are you?
