I received 2 cat bites on each hand. One is healing nicely but the other is starting to swell and hurts slightly. I have been washing the wounds with soap and antibacterial liquid and putting on a antibacterial ointment. I have kept the wounds uncovered. The skin was punctured in several places and bleed slightly. ## Hello, Beverly! How are you? It really depends on what has caused the infection, it may not be appropriate for all bacteria. Have you consulted your doctor? That would be the best thing to do. Did the animal have its shots?

Is cefpodoxime & potassium clavulanatem tablets and sodium fusidate cream effective for genital herpes ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? No, these are antibiotics that treat bacterial infections. Herpes is caused by a virus, so these will not do anything to treat it. As a matter of fact, many people tend to be allergic to such products, when they are used genitally, so you could end up just making yourself worse. There is no cure for herpes, either orally or genitally, but if you consult your doctor, they can prescribe medications to help suppress it and prevent outbreaks. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a white oblong pill I need help identifying. It's not a capsule, just the normal compressed powder, about 2 cm long by 1 cm wide. It has the letters A and C imprinted, both on each side, and one of the sides has a score mark between the letters. ## Hello, Janet! How are you? So far, I've been unable to find a listing that matches this description, which is leading me to suspect that it's most likely something that's available over the counter. Where was it found? Some over the counter products are regional, so knowing the general location may help to narrow it down. I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## Thank you for your help so far. I haven't been able to find it in any databases eith...

Does this mean every 8 Hours were possible as someone was told it after breakfast, Lunch & tea being in my case 7.00am, 1.00pm and 7.00pm this gives you 6 hours between Breakfast and Lunch and 6 hours between lunch and Tea(dinner) & then 12 Hours between Tea and Breakfast Does this matter??? ## Hello, Jj! How are you? The dosing doesn't have to be precisely spaced. Every 8 hours when possible would be great, but if you just take them with meals, that would also be fine. This is an antibiotic that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I recently had a beignet cyst removed from my right breast. After the minor surgery I found a small lump and there was some soreness. I visited my doctor and he prescribed me amox tr k clv he explained that I may have contracted a n infection due to me wearing my bras earlier than I should have. I'm on the third day of using this antibiotic and the lump has grown noticeably larger and it looks as though it's almost coming to a head ( kind of like a pimple) I wanted to know if this was a cause of concern or if this may be normal in the healing process. ## Hello, Niquette! How are you? Did you mean a benign cyst? Why was it necessary to have it removed? That's usually not done unless they are large enough to be disfiguring or are causing severe pain. I'd suggest having you...

I was taking sulfa for 5 days but quit due to fever and chills. I've been done for 2 days and now I have a rash on my back and arms. Any ideas on what to use to clear it or how long it may last? ## Hello, Ncf! How are you doing? Yes, it sounds like you were having a bad reaction to the medication and are most likely allergic to it, so you probably did the right thing by stopping it. However, you may still have the initial infection, so you should see your doctor for a different antibiotic and to have the rash evaluated. In most cases, it will clear up on its own after a week or so, but you may need something to treat it, only your doctor can say for sure. It happened to me last year and it took over a month before I was feeling back to normal. Are there any other questions or concer...

After having a toe nail removed, and the nail matrix killed I was prescribed DOXY-CYCL HYCL 100MG TAB. It has caused fevers, vomiting, tingling in my feet and a sunburn. The doctor said to finish the seven day course? What a freak, this is horrible, I want to flush this torture in a prescription bottle. What can I request as a replacement antibiotic? ## Those are definitely not normal side effects, but rather they are considered severe ones that can be dangerous and no, you shouldn't continue to take this antibiotic. Learn more Doxycycline details here. It's hard to suggest a replacement, without knowing yoru medical history. What other antibiotics have you used in the past, that you didn't have a bad reaction to? ## I think it really depends on whether or not you have a fun...

What is the difference in treating UTI infections, can either Bactrim DS or Bactrim F be used. Are they the same 800/160. ## Hello, Valerie! How are you? Sorry about the infection.

If an antibiotic is required, it's usually just plain Amoxicillin. Have you checked with your doctor or dentist?

strep throat ## Not sure if this antibiotic is in the 'cillin' family, or has any properties contained in amoxicillin, but my son had a reaction similar to the reaction he had with amoxycillin. BEWARE users. ## The drug name is actually Ceftin. This is a Cephalosporin class antibiotic. So not in the cillin family. However, since almost all antibiotics are distantly related, if you are allergic to one, then there is always a chance of having a reaction to one in another class. ## I have taken the antibiotic Cestin. Now I have a rash over most of my body. How long should it last? I had taken 7 pills of the 20 prescribed. ## My wife claims she was given Cestin for her cronic sinus.. Is that possible?

Prescription filled 4/22//13 is it still good to take now? ## Hello, Lin! How are you? Tablets generally have a one year expiration date from the time they were dispensed to you from your pharmacy. That's the time the seal was broken on the original container and they became exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light and moisture. However, due to the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, you shouldn't take them, unless a doctor has confirmed the presence of an infection. Are there any other questions or concerns?
