What Can I Do For Swollen That Hurts

Fifty years ago I was only slightly allergic to penicillin with rash on my butt. Currently, I've been sick with a bug going around for a week and a half now. Almost better except my gland hurts when I swallow and swollen and still slight congestion in my chest. I have 500 mg of Amoxil in my home. Is this okay to take this? It is the weekend and can't get to doctors and I do not want to pay the outrageous fee in urgent care. I also have another question. I have bottles of antibiotics that look the same as when I get a prescription that were for my Labrador dog. Are these the same as human drugs? My research says they are. ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? It should be safe, but there is a chance that you may be allergic to it, as well. However, there is also a chance that rash 50 ye...

I popped a pimple that was on my upper lip,I went to work by that night my lip on one side is)swollen and hurts,I have put hot compresses on it and keep)squeezing the pus out of the pimple but my lip is still swollen after 3days n still hurts.what should I do I have to go to work and it looks horrible? ## Hello, Tina! How are you doing? Has there been any change? What did it look like? Given the swelling, I am wondering if it was a cold sore, rather than a pimple. They very commonly cause swelling, but the substance that comes out of them is a clear liquid, according to the NIH, unlike the white pus you would get from a pimple. A cold sore looks more like a blister, or a cluster of tiny blisters. Additionally, if you do occasionally get cold sores, popping a pimple on your lip could irr...

Best medicine for degenerative arthritis ## For the past 3wks my ankles & feet has been swollen. They'll go down for a day or so but will swell back up. They wasn't sore at first but they are starting to get tender around my ankles & the top of my feet. I wanted to know what's causing it & is there anything that will prevent it from happening ## I can explain all of the swelling in my calves, ankles and toes to RA, and medications but the top of my food is a mound and hurt so BAD even to the touch.

I have what I believe is a spider bite on my thigh that is red and swollen. It has a hard mass just under the skin and hurts to have anything touch it. The bite is two small puncture holes but the swelling and dark redness much larger, the whole inside of my thigh. My neighbor gave me these pink pills with 44-239 to take for this, what do you think about that? ## Hello, Jeff! How are you? You need to see a doctor for this, it may need to be lanced and drained, from your description, that sounds venomous, rather than just like an allergic reaction. The tablets you've been given are just over the counter 25mg Diphenhydramine, a generic for Benadryl, used to treat allergies and allergic reactions. They will not do much if you've got an abscess forming from venom. Is there anything ...

gout ## I have gout in my ankle. It has swollen to the size of a giant grapefruit. The pain is unbearable and I can't walk or stand on it. It also hurts to lay my ankle down on the bed.

Has this been confirmed by a doctor and medical tests? this site is not medical professionals, so this site does not diagnose nor prescribe anything. As to this medication, I am not finding anything listed, are you certain of the name and spelling?

Hi I've been taking brintellix for six days and I am also taking 25mg of hydrochlothazide, 37.5 of phentermine and 20 meqs of potassium ×2 and I am having pains (6 on a scale of one to ten) in my left upper thing (back), back of knee, inside ankle and foot / heel. My left leg/ thigh in warmer then the right probably because of the pain. My leg also feels 'dry' which is weird. I have some gastritis but nothing unreasonable. I do have to hurry to the restroom after I take my morning dose of brintellix- which I take with all the other meds. It doesnt cause too much nausea but definitely some. I am afraid that maybe something is severely wrong because of my left limb pain. Its not swollen just a little numb and very sore. My bottom hurts also. Am I doing something wrong? I ...

I bought some of these from a friend, because my right hip hurts and is swollen. I'm wondering if these contain any acidametaphine. ## No, these tablets do not contain any Acetaminophen. They contain 5mgs of Oxycodone, which is a very potent narcotic analgesic that has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more Oxycodone details here. However, rather than taking a medication that hasn't been prescribed for you, you need to see your doctor and discover what's wrong with your hip. This medication is very dangerous if used improperly, an overdose could be fatal. How did you hurt your hip?
