Amoxicillin To Treat Cough And Cold

I have stuffed sinus .. cough and are tired/weak. I have amox/K Clav 500-125 .. would it be helpful towards these symptoms?? How many pre day should I take? ## Amoxicillin is a antibotic.It is used to treat bacterial infections. A cold is a viral infection, so it would do no good. ## @Becky Burnside, BL is correct, the Amoxicillin will not be effective for the cold. If I can recommend anything, it would be to intake as many fruits/vegetables as possible (especially citrus fruits due to their high vitamin C content!). Also, water with real lemon juice is a really easy way to build your immune system and should definitely help to fight off the cold sooner. I've read that it's most beneficial to drink the amount of water (in ounces) that is equal to half of your body weight. For ex...

feeling cough and cold ,throuth infaction would i take yellow coloured mox tablet twice a day. ## Hello, Anita! How are you feeling? Sorry that you've been sick. However, Amoxicillin won't do anything to treat a cold. It is an antibiotic and will only treat bacterial infections. Learn more Mox details here. A cold is caused by a virus. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?

mucus ,short of breathe, minor wheezing, coughing ## Hello, Wes! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so it will only help with bacterial infections. If your symptoms are due to something such as a cold or allergies, it will not help and taking it when it isn't appropriate may result in your developing antibiotic resistance. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed? ## I have used Amoxil for bronchitis and ear infections before. As long as it is bacterial it should treat a broard spectrum of illnesses.

i have throat infection.and doctor gave me Mox 500mg.. have been using it for 5 days... am coughing almost all night.i dont cough that much in the morning...am wondering when will this cure.. pls tell me what will Mox 500mg do to the throat..? is this sufficient or should i take something else.. or visit another doctor.. ## I have sever coughing and cold, can I use mox 500mg? ## From what I've found, this contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Thus, it will not be effective at treating the virus that causes a cold, nor the associated coughing and congestion. Sk, as I said, it can help with infections such as the one you have, but if the coughing is that severe, you will need something else to treat tha...

I had fever and I took paracetamol and i got relieved. after that I have colds and feel that I have phlegm in my chest for 6 days now. I cough sometimes. I want to know if Natravox is good for my colds. ## Have you consulted a doctor? Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, commonly prescribed in the U.S. under the brand name Augmentin, is an antibiotic that will only work to treat or prevent infections. This means it can help if your problem is caused by an infection, but it should not be used for anything else. A cold is caused by a virus and this will not do anything to treat viruses.

I have amoxiciliana 500mg tablets. I feel like I am going to get sick. Should I start taking them? My throat is very itchy and I have a little cough. How many times a day should I take one? ## Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, commonly used to treat many different types of infections. That said, it is very important NOT to use this if it is not needed, due to the danger of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. If your symptoms have just been brought on by a cold, flu or allergy, then these will not help with it, anyway. Have you seen a doctor for this condition, yet?

Hi, my 10 month old son has an ear infection and was given Pinamox. He also has a chest infection, alot of phelgm on the chest and a hard cough. Will the Pinamox treat his chest as well? ## Have you consulted his doctor about it? Panamox contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections, so in theory, it can treat both, but it may not be the proper dosage to do so. ## My wife has a bad head cold with a raw throat and coughing a lot and has mucus in the throat and chest could she take pinamox 500mg as I was prescribed with them aproxx 3 months ago she is not aggeleric to pencillion

A friend brought Amoxicilina name brand Broxidad from Mexico. We both have had a cough for almost 4 weeks. The pharmacist in Mexico recommended to buy this product 500MG and take one pill every 8 hours for 10 days. I can't find this brand it all when I google it. But wanted to know if anyone has bought this before? I am not getting better. There has been no change and I have been taking it for 5 days. ## This is a Mexican brand name for the antibiotic Amoxicillin, which is used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Thus, this medication isn't going to help, unless your cough is due to some type of infection. If it's related to allergies or a cold...
