Last thursday I went to the doctor & they told me I have a UTI. They put me on Nitrofurantoin 2 pills a day for 7 days. I am on my 6th day and I still have to urinate a lot and there is just some discomfort not as bad as before. It doesn't hurt at all when I urinate like it did. I heard this is a good prescription to be on when having a UTI, but I feel like I should be almost 100% better by now. Will this go away? ## Hello, Amanda! How are you? Yes, the general rule is that you should start to see improvement after 3 days, so by day 6, it should be mostly cleared up. There is a chance that it's just not the right antibiotic to treat your infection, or you may need a longer course of it. Has it cleared up? This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non...

i have been using norilet 400g for about 3 days and i have all the side effects just want to know what to do to get rid of it. i have stopped using the pills and stil have the side effects ## Hello, Lexy! How are you? This is an antibiotic and side effects can occur, while taking it, but that is normal and to be expected. There's really nothing you can do to get rid of them, it can happen with any antibiotic. However, you do need to finish your course of treatment with it, to fully eradicate the infection. How long ago did you stop taking them?

an insect bit me on the leg. i do not know what kind of insect it was. the sister at the clinic gave me betamox 500mg tablets and allergex cream. is it safe to use? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? Betamox contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. Since you don't know what kind of insect it was, that's most likely why you were told to take this, to prevent infection. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was going to the doctors and she gave me a urinalysis test. She gave me Trimethoprim to start which I did the same day. I took the first one at 4 pm and by 8 pm I went down hill! Worst headache ever, tremors down my body, chills, high temperature. I didn't have a clue what was going on. Got rushed to hospital and they told me I had ketones and protein in my urine. I was dehydrated and with me having a high temperature, I was fighting an infection. Once I calmed down they told me to carry on with Trimethoprim and to take Pracetamol and Iboufen to calm my temperature. I took another Trimethoprim and again I started again, this time coming out in spots, itching and joint pain. Doctor told me to stop them and gave me an antihistamine and a different antibiotic one that I have had befo...

They are both antibiotics and it would likely be best to take the one that the Medtech told you to use. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

The last three days i have experienced off and on vibration like sensation of my below belly and inside my vagina, previously, 3 weeks or so i was on treatment for greenish yellowish discharge, with itching around my vagina that is fungal bacteria infection.Could you be of help to this vibration like sensation? ## Hello, Christine! How are you? A greenish-yellow discharge would be a bacterial infection, no fungal. Were you given an antibiotic for it? The vibration is most likely just some muscle spasms and is usually nothing to worry about, though you should have it checked out, if you're concerned.

Neck/ back pain won't let me sleep its so bad. Have not had any pain meds for 3 weeks and that was only 20 5/325s. Help Please as AZ is a challenge these days ## Hello, Mat! How are you? I am very sorry that you're in pain. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require pain medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the easiest way of finding the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

My staph on my upper inner thought developed a knott about the size of my palm and I have been takin Clindamycin for two days now physically I'm feeling better no more fever but the knot on my leg is not improving any and it draining is it just because it built up in my system before I got the meds I had it for 4 days and been taking the medicine since Sunday? So my question is will the medicine make the knot go away? ## Hello, Lexi! How are you? It may, or it may not. It really depends on what the knot actually is, for instance, if you developed a cyst from the infection, then it may need to be drained by your doctor, the antibiotic may not make it go away. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have levofloxcino that is three years old I'm very conjested and an asthmatic .its out of control a bit . But I have dealt with this many time I know the med will clear upy lungs.is it safe? Desperate , well I just toke one of them only had two left. They have been stored in s cool dry place. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? Levofloxacin is an antibiotic, so it will only help if you have an infection. The problem here is that with it being expired and your having only 2 left, you're creating the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. It's never good to take an antibiotic that is expired with lowered efficacy, if an infection has not been confirmed and if you don't have enough to finish a full course of treatment. Have you consulted your physician? If you do need...

I got a Rocephin shot and a steroid shot yesterday, the nurse gave both in the same hip less than an inch apart. I immediately began bleeding out all over her hand my pants and the floor. The pain in my Hip spread to my leg and lower back, the dr. gave me naproxen sodium for pain....its not working I hurt worse then i did when i went in with my ear infections, i dont know if this is normal but i called the drs office and they still havent called me back. ## Hello, Renee! How are you? The bleeding shouldn't have occurred like that from just getting a couple of shots. That's rather unusual and that coupled with the pain makes me wonder about exactly what happened. The pain can happen with a steroid and if some of the medications pool under the skin in the muscle, that would explai...

I was prescribed this for a sinus infection. First of all u cant take this with probenicid. I am also allergic to penicillin. after three days taking ceftin 500mg twice a day. My entire body was aching and joints are hurting. The pharmacy didn't even catch this. ## Hello, Donna! How are you? It isn't that they can't be taken together, it's just that the Cephalexin may increase the effect of the Probenicid, so it must be prescribed cautiously. The body aches can happen with most antibiotics and is usually due to a combination of taking them and your body fighting the infection. The other side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if you are concerned about taking both, then please consult your doctor, to be...
