There is no natural way to eradicated MRSA staph, if there were, everyone would be using it and they wouldn't be such a dangerous issue. You need to take an antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. One of the first choices to treat them is Bactrim. Learn more Bactrim details here. What has your doctor prescribed? ## I have had a staph infection for over 1year I have done sulfatrim/trimethoprim DS for just about as long also I had a home IV pump kit from clinic for 2weeks, I don't know what to do anymore what could u suggest cause the doctors all tell me it will go away but it doesn't?

Recently I've had a breakou on my face - on the cheeks. I'm on Yasmin, Glucop. And occassionally take Zyrtec as I'm allergic to MOST things e severely to shell fish. I've recently been prescribed purbac 480mg 2X daily, initially for a month then the will reassess. Also using ilotycin TS which applies to the affect area X daily. What could be the side effects? Thrush? Urticaria? Why would acne start now - about 2 months back. What can I use the scars?

I am self treating a sinus infection. Started with 3 days of Cephalexin which I had from an infected finger. Also have 4 days of Amox from my sister. New job and can't take off to go to the doctor. Can I go from one to the other? Thanks! ## I should have mentioned that neither of the drugs is expired. Thanks for your thoughts! ## You shouldn't, what you really need is 10days worth of one continuous antibiotic. I know it's a pain to take off work to go to the doctor, but it's something that we all have to do sometimes. And, if you don't have enough of one antibiotic to treat an infection, you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, which would make you even more ill and you may end up with a much longer time period off of work, due to being in the hospital. ...

I have been prescribed Sulfamethoxazole-TMP. I have been on it for 4 days now, taking 2 pills a day and all of a sudden I have developed a sore throat with no other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this side effect just a minor one or could it develop into something more serious? Thank you. ## It isn't a normal side effect. Have you consulted your doctor about it? What type of infection are you being treated for? Could it be related to that? ## OMG this just happened to me. I was taking it for a skin infection and got the worse sore throat. I could not figure out what it came from until I read your post!

I had moderate Ezema in the past.. I started taking sulfamethoxazole in April 2013, now I have excessive rash breakouts on my arms & legs. I stopped taking it after 30 days but still getting new breakouts, what can I do? ## Hello, Dee! How are you doing? Since it is sulfa based, this medication has the tendency to cause allergic reactions in a fairly large percentage of people that take it, thus, you really need to have that rash checked out by your doctor. Learn more Sulfamethoxazole details here. If it is due to an allergic reaction, they just tend to get increasingly worse with this drug and they can reach the point where they put your life in danger, so you may have to avoid taking it in the future.

Can I uses amoxicillin to kill the infection in my mouth until I see my dentist? ## Hi Beth, My research shows that Amoxicillin can be used to treat dental infections. In fact, it's actually one of the first-line treatment options that dentists use for these types of infections, so you should be fine using it in that regard. Unfortunately I can't tell you proper dosing information, since those details are usually given to you by your doctor/dentist. However, you'd likely have to have enough Amoxicillin to finish a full-course of treatment (which is generally 7-10 days), in order to completely destroy all the bacteria. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Amoxicillin Details How long do you have until your next dental appointment?

i have been prescrbed calvepen for tonsilitus can i drink alcohol whilst taking them? ## Calvepen contains the active ingredient Penicillin; which does have an interaction with food/drink, but not anything specifically related to alcohol consumption. Information I've gathered states the following: "Adjust dosing interval: Certain penicillins may exhibit reduced gastrointestinal absorption in the presence of food. The therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial may be reduced. The interacting penicillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals." Regarding the above statement, I would suggest drinking one hour before or waiting two hours after taking Calvepen to i...

Can it be used in a dogs ear? As for redness, ## Hi nancy, Based on my research, Terramycin can be used for ear infections, in humans and dogs. Terramycin contains the active ingredient Oxytetracycline which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, active against a wide variety of bacteria. However, some strains of bacteria have developed resistance to this antibiotic, which has reduced its effectiveness for treating some types of infections. Side effects are mainly relating to the digestive system, and photosensitive allergic reactions common to the tetracycline antibiotics group. It can also damage calcium-rich organs, such as teeth and bones, although this is very rare. I would give your veterinarian a call if you're unsure of the dosage for your dog. You can learn more about this drug on...

Appears as though it may have come from a veteranarian perscribed to dogs. The bottle says Cefla 100 on the side written in pen. ## Hi Kevin, I haven't been able to locate a pill that matches the description you've provided. However, based on my research Cefla may be a brand name for the medication Cefalexin. Since the bottle says Cefla 100, you may have Cefalexin (100 mg).

It may be used to prevent bacterial endocarditis. Common adverse effects include: Gastrointestinal upset such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and abdominal pain.
