Is Amox Clav 875 Used For Ear Infections

Hello I was given this drug for swollen lump moods in my neck on the right. The gland just below my ear and 3 at the bottom of my neck just above my shoulder where it meets the top of my neck. Today is day two. I had diarrhea this morning and my upper back sides and lower back are all in pain. I still have a soar throat on the right and a little numbness all the down my right arm. My husband says I've only been on it 2 days and I need to give it some time. The pill is so big that I've been breaking them in half but still making sure I get 2 in every day. Am I over reacting? Please help me because I'm getting ready to go to the emergency room in fear I'm dying. ## This is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, and it may take 3 days, be...

I get ear infections often and the Dr. prescribed AMOX-CLAV 875MG, but I still have some of the medicine left from last year, is it ok to take it today or will a year old prescription give me side effects? ## Hello, Patty! How are you? I'm sorry about the ear infection, they can be quite painful. What is the expiration date on the prescription? It should be one year from whenever it was dispensed to you by your pharmacy. If it is still good and your doctor okays it, plus verifies the presence of an infection, then you should be able to take it, as long as you have enough to complete a full course of treatment. According to the FDA, antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if the medication is expired, if y...

can amox-clav 875 be used for staff infection on the skin? ## Information I was able to gather states that: "Amoxicillin is often the drug of choice for staph infections of the ear, throat and nose, says Rx List. Doctors also order amoxicillin for staph infections of the skin and skin structures, or for lower respiratory infections like bronchitis and pneumonia. For patients with skin infections from beta-lactamase-producing staph, doctors will often order amoxicillin/clavulanate." NOTE: Adults typically take 250 to 500 mg of amoxicillin three times a day, or 500 to 875 mg twice a day for 7 to 10 days, for staph infections of the skin. The above information is referenced from: I hope this helps! ## I was just prescribed exactly what you posted. 875mg 2x day of Amox-Clav for 10 d...

Very large white antibiotic..I am on 875mg ## Basically, amoxicillin mixed with clav-something acid which just enhances the effect of amoxicillan, an antibiotic. Used for chest/skin/ear/throat infections.. ## Was given for severe swollen, kissing tonsils, with an absys on one, closed airway, swollen lymph nodes in neck, and accompanied by four day fever. two days on it and so far, feeling a bit better. ## The other ingredient is Clavulanic Acid, this is a generic for Augmentin.

I have been taking 2 pills a day of this for eight days. It was prescribed to me to prevent infection in a ruptured ear drum. The last few days I feel as if I have come down with a head cold. My sinuses are dripping constantly and I am sneezing. How is this possible with all this atibiotics in me? ## Simply because a cold is not caused by an infection, a cold is caused by a virus and therefore the antibiotics will have no effect on preventing it or helping it to clear up. An antibiotic is only effective at preventing or treating infections. The antibiotic may cause some side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. The cold may also make the diarrhea worse, so you need to be careful and make sure you take in a lot of fluids to prevent dehydration. Learn more: Are th...

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Since you only took one, it won't take very long, approximately 5 to 6 hours.

I've been having jaw pain and I can barely hear out of my left ear. So my question is should I go back to the doctor ## I have been on amocillin 875mg for 7 days.

I have a full bottle of these pills and my dog has a bladder infection. He is 126 lbs. Can I give him these? They expire in June so I won't be using them. ## Hi smokey, Based on my research, it should be ok for your dog as long as you're administering the correct dosage. The recommended dosage of Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid is listed at 12.5mg (per kilogram of body weight). That amount is to be taken twice daily for treating most general infections (including UTI's). If you have any other questions pertaining to proper dosing or administration, you may also want to contact a local veterinary office, since they are well versed in this field of study. I hope this info helps and wish your dog a quick recovery! ## Hello, my 10 pound maltese has an ear infection. I have leftove...

I have a prescription of Amox/k clav 875-125 that I was giving for an ear infection. I have about half the bottle left, now months later I have white puss on my throat which looks to b strept. Will this for medicine b effective for a thoat infection? ## This is the generic version of the antibiotic Augmentin, which is used to treat various types of infections. However, the problem is that you may not have enough to fully eradicate the infection, since a full course of treatment is needed, which would usually be about 10 days. That coupled with the fact that the presence of an infection hasn't been confirmed by a doctor creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is something you've already put yourself at risk of, if you didn't finish the full co...

What kind of an infection is this for and how does it interact with alcohol? ## Amoxicillin is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia; bronchitis; gonorrhea; and infections of the ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin. It is also used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers. Amoxicillin is in a class of medications called penicillin-like antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, and other viral infections. The Amoxicillin + Clavulanate Potassium "combination" results in an antibiotic with an increased spectrum of action and restored efficacy against amoxicillin-resistant bacteria that produce -lactamase. In other words this is a more...

My wife (Diabetic) with history of bladder infections, went to doctor with ache/pains and strong difficulty swallowing, was diagnosed with ear and throat (swollen) infection. Prescription was AMOX -CLAV, 1-tablet every 12-hr. She has been on subject pill for 24-hr's w/o any discernible change, complaining of strong body ache/pains and difficulty swallowing. How long should I rely on pill, if no change, before returning to doctor... or going to hospital? ## Hi! Sorry she's so miserable! The general rule for antibiotics is that there should be no worsening after they've been taken for a full 24 hours and improvement should start within 72 hours (3 days), so if you see worsening or there's no improvement after that time frame, she'll need more medical attention. This is...

I was prescribed Amox TR-K CLV 875-125 MG Tab from my doctor, however I still feel the symptoms of the cold. I've also read that Amox does not cure the common cold. Can I take nyquil with the prescribed drug to make these symptoms go away? ## That is correct, Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, a generic for Augmentin, is an antibiotic and is not effective at treating a cold, since colds are caused by a virus. However, many colds do lead to infections, since they can reduce your immunity and some people end up with ear or throat infections. Your doctor may have prescribed it to treat or prevent those, if you've been prone to getting them before. Learn more Augmentin details here. As to taking Nyquil with it, I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, bu...
