I have a infection in my gums from my tooth that broke off I took 3 so far and I'm still in pain ## Hello, Raven! How are you doing? Sorry about the dental infection. However, this medication is not a pain reliever, it is an antibiotic, so it can help with the infection, but will not relieve the pain. That will usually clear up in a few days, once the infection starts to clear up. Have you consulted your dentist? If the pain is severe, they should be able to prescribe something that can help.

Can a Ciprofloxacin HCL 500mg tablet be taken with Naproxen EC 500mg? ## Hello, Bridget! How are you? And no, these two should not be taken together, unless your doctor has specifically told you it's safe for you to do so. Combining the Naproxen with the antibiotic can increase the risk of seizures, though it isn't known why they have this interaction. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Well, he did take the two, but not at the same time. This was done for like 5 days. He was in tremendous pain with his ears and tylenol did not touch the pain. The doctor recommended the tylenol. Would something like Advil been better? He is ok. No seizures. Thank you.

This medication was given to me because I continued getting urine infections after intercourse and nothing else was working for me. I was given this medication to take one pill after intercourse, just one time. I have to say that for the past two years I have never gotten another UTI. This medication is great. I love it. Am I the only one that this has worked for? I am diabetic and also take insulin. I also have not gotten anymore yeast infections. ## Hello, Rosa! How are you? I'm so glad that you found something that works for you. And no, you are not the only one that it has worked for, there have actually been quite a few people that have posted about having good experiences with it, but usually in a preventative manner, such as how you are taking it.

I misplaced my cipro 500. so I used augmentin in place. is this ok? ## can ii take augmentin in place of ciproflaxin ## Hello, Based on my research, Augmentin and Ciprofloxacin are both antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections so the Augmentin could possibly work. However, since they are still two different medications, the side effects and effectiveness may differ. Have you noticed any difference after taking the Augmentin in replace of the Ciprofloxacin? Note: All thoughts and opinions expressed are those of my own and should not be mistaken for medical advice. I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist. all medical questions should be answered by a licensed pharmacist, doctor, or primary care manager.

Had tooth pulled yesterday. Tooth had root canal, crown 20 yrs ago. Tooth got infected, had to be taken out. The doctor didn't say I needed an antibiotic to kill the infection. Would Amoxocillin do anything? It is very sore and throbbing. I don't want to take pain medication. I would think the infection is still in the gum. ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Sorry about the tooth problem. However, an antibiotic is not always necessary. In most cases of dental infection, the bacteria becomes trapped in the tooth, or under the tooth, so once it's extracted it will drain and usually clear up on its own. Thus, you shouldn't take an antibiotic, unless your doctor or dentist has specifically said you need to take one. Taking one when it isn't needed creates the risk of developi...

is clindymyacin hydrochloride going to be safe to give to my dog ## Hi thunder, Based on my research, Clindamycin is commonly prescribed for dogs, cats, as well as a number of other household pets. However, you should probably still contact your local veterinarian for proper advice on dosing and administration. It's very important to give the full 7-10 day course of Clindamycin or as prescribed, so you'll want to make sure you have enough on hand to follow through with treatment until the infection is completely gone. Has your pet had any reactions to previous medications you've given it? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Clindamycin Details I hope this info helps! ## I had to take some Dog Lamisil once, but Clindamycin is for people too! I have taken it as ...

Dooctor prescribed me this. Supposed to take three a day. I had neck pain after dental cleaning, no abscess no sickness so doctor and dentist unsure and prescribed me meds for 7 days. Took first two and my entire body was aching and in pain also had intense pain in my arm and I also felt a little off. Is this normal? ## Hello, Evees! How are you? This is an antibiotic and its normal side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amox/Clav details here.

vigina infection spoting urine please help me i have colani ## Hi Maribel, Sorry to hear about your challenges. To answer your question, Embatrim (sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. If you still require additional assistance with treatment, it seems like your best option at this point would be to work with a local gynecologist or doctor since they can review your full medical history and prescribe the appropriate medication. Although Embatrim should get the job done in my honest opinion. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Embatrim Details I hope this info helps!

I am having recurrent bacterial vaginosis. What medications are available over the counter that I can take? ## Hello, Sam! How are you doing? Sorry about the BV issues. There are no oral antibiotics available over the counter. They all require a doctor's prescription. If you've already tried one or more antibiotics and it is still recurring, it's likely that they weren't the right ones to eradicate your bacteria, or you are being repeatedly exposed to the same bacteria. Have you consulted a gynecologist?
