My beagle keeps a yeast infection in his ears all the time. No matter how many times I take him to the vet, it goes away for a week or two and it's back again. He has seizures and also he weighs 60 pounds, now I know he's overweight but I need to know how much bactrim I can give him to clear up his ear infection. I cannot take him to the vet right now I just don't have the cash for that. So any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. ## Bactrim is an antibiotic, it can only treat bacterial infections, it will not treat yeast infections. It can be used in dogs, according to NIH reports, and is safe for them, but it should not be given, without a veterinarians approval. It can also cause side effects in dogs, such as nausea, dizziness, skin rash, and diarrh...

I would like to know how many a day can I take?My toothache is very bad. I have swollen gums and my tooth is chipped. The pill I have is the Mexican one. And for how long do I take them? Or should I just go and get my tooth out? What do u recommend? ## Hello, Cielo! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so while it may help with an infection, if one is present, it will not help with the underlying issue that's caused the infection, such as the chipped tooth, so yes, you do need to see a dentist for a proper treatment. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What is the dosage as listed on the packaging? What you've stated in the subject line isn't very clear. ## Hello... Can I buy penicillin over the counter or does i...

I took my second to last dosage last night, about 4 hours later I was sick and am hoping it’s not interfered in anyway, I still feel a little bit of the uti symptoms after taking my last tablet 4 hours ago (they’re less intense but still there). I’m hoping it will still get rid of the infection as it took 3 weeks to get any antibiotics that actually touched it. ## No, you should have digested and used the medication, after 4 hours, so it should not create a problem. How long were you taking it, and what was the dosage? It can take about 3 days, or so, for such a medication to take full effect and start to eliminate the bacteria that has caused the infection. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin ...

Can i use these tablets for piles.... One of my friend is suffering seriously from piles... ## Hello, Bharath! How are you? I'm very sorry about your friend's problem. And no, this is an antibiotic and will do nothing to treat piles, since they are not caused by an infection. Has he consulted his doctor? If they are severe, he may require surgery. ## Can use this tablet for piles It's very painful May I use this cefixime.

My kid is 3 & 1/2 yrs old. He has blocked nostrils and a cough. How should we use this dose for him? ## Well a suspension is meant to be swallowed orally. However, Cefixime is an antibiotic and if he just has nasal congestion and a cough due to a cold, this won't help, because a cold is caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection. Was this prescribed by his doctor? If you aren't familiar with it, you can learn more Cefixime details here. ## Can cefixime taxim-o oral suspension cure jaundice in a 20-day-old newborn baby? ## Taxim o tablet is use for piles.

I received a serious cat bite in my foot. Went to E.R. because my foot turned bright red and very swollen. I was prescribed Amoxicillin Pot Clavulanate 875, but after 3 days it appears the redness has spread to my toes and my foot is so swollen that I can't wear any shoes. How long does it take for this medicine to begin working? ## Hello Cassie, According to DailyMed the medication your doctor has prescribed you contains the two active ingredients Amoxicillin and Clavulnate Potassium. This combination is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. With that being said, it will not reduce the swelling or help manage the pain if there is any. Your bodies immune system will play the largest role in determining the time frame of your healing but there are a few things you can d...

I have no known other allergies except for Ciprofloxacin which almost killed me. If my lab work hadn't checked out, they were going to put me on dialysis. Currently my dentist prescribed Cleocin. Is there a conflict? I have taken Amoxicillin, Penicillin, and Augmentin with no side effects. Please help ## Did you get a response at all? I took this med recently and am having some real issues but so far the doctor doesn't believe it relates to this med. I'm having difficulty walk and distance and feel very weak... and often have trouble breathing. ## They are different medications, David, but when someone is allergic to one medication, there is always a risk of discovering more that that cause allergic reactions.

My daughter is complaining her ear hurts and it is the holidays so the doctors are closed. I have amoxicillin 250 mg that was prescribed to my 2 year old. I know it's an ear infection I have 4 kids so I have been thru this plenty of times. Just not sure of the dosage to give her. ## Hello, Adriana! How are you and your daughter? Has there been any change? It is never a good idea to give a child a medication, unless their doctor approves and has prescribed it for them, at that age, it is dosed according to body weight, and the strength of the infection. Generally 20 to 30mgs per kilogram of body weight, every 8 to 12 hours. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. ## Please i need to know if 500mg ...

I have a bad tooth that hurts and I have some penicillin that expired 6-24-2013 from a dentist. Would it be safe to take? ## Hello, Marty! How are you? This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose effectiveness, thus it may not fully eradicate infectious bacteria, which creates the risk of it developing antibiotic resistance. Thus, it would be best to see your dentist, so they can prescribe a fresh supply, if an antibiotic is necessary. The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My meds say to discard after 5/3/17 and they're Penicillin vk. It is 11/2/17. Can I still take them? ## My amoxicillin expired in 201...

But when it should have ended I realized that I was still spotting and it had a bad oder. I had only used 11 from the pack. I discontinued them for three days now, but the spotting it still present with a dark n bad odor. Help me please. ## Hello, Monique! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Given the odor, it seems you may have a bacterial infection, and if that is the case, you will need an antibiotic to clear it up. Have you consulted your doctor?

I recently was treated for a UTI with 100mg of Nitrofurantoin twice a day for 10 days. 11/23/16 through 12/3/16. On 12/6/16, I developed terrible heartburn along with a weird heat/tingly/itching sensation on the palms of my hands and fingers, arches of my feet, eyes, back of scalp. The itching has gotten worse (it is now 12/10/16), and I'm still having problems with the heartburn. I was seen by a doctor for the heartburn on 12/7/16, and he gave me a GI cocktail to relieve the pain, which was basically a band-aid for a couple of hours. I am 53, and have never had a problem with heartburn. I did have a problem, (severe) with terrible itching along with rash back in April when I was prescribed Prednisone. The other thing I experienced was a very heavy period after not having one for a ...

Can Teva 3109 (amoxicillin 500mgs) cure Trichomoniasis? ## Hello, Panero! How are you? No, this is not the preferred antibiotic. The CDC lists two that are normally used to treat it, Metronidazole and Tinidazole. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and diarrhea. Did you doctor prescribe Amoxicillin for you? ## Yes he did. My symptoms have gotten worse and I'm seeing blood now when I wipe myself after using the bathroom. I feel nauseous and tired now.
