I have an itching problem in my vagina, but it seems likes the problem is internal and eternal... What medication should I take? ## Vaginal itching is usually caused by a fungal infection, so antibiotics will not help, they can actual cause, or worsen them as side effects, according to NIH reports. Do you have any discharge or odor? Are you on any medications? Have you had this checked out by a doctor? Are you experiencing any other symptoms? ## Hello, I have been having this itching around my vagina for the last two months. I am not suspecting an STI cause I am still a virgin. It's not happening constantly - it only happens when I wear something that is very tight. Can I use penicillin ointment?

How are you all doing? Did they work for you?

I went to a clinic this past wednesday & had a massive ball of wax removed from my right ear & the pain in my right ear has subsided. Now my left ear feels like its full, clogged & hurts on & off since wednesday but 2 doctors in that clinic assured me there's no wax in my left ear BUT that my left middle inner ear has "supposed" fluid in it that needs to dry OUT. So I was prescribed amoxicillin 2x a day for 10 days & prednisone 40mg a day for 4 days ((to dry out my left ear, which steroid makes no sense to dry my ear out anyway??)). Well amoxicillin I am fine with but the prednisone left me with the worst acid reflux (since I'm an acid reflux sufferer), awful hives from head to toe, & was shaking horrificly like a leaf because I took prednisone fo...

I've been taking low dose 50mg Nitrofurantoin for over a year. My urologist recommended it and my PCP also said I should take it for life. I've had frequent UTI's/year and it's been a problem for more than 10 years. I've been free of UTI's since I went on the low-dose Nitrofurantoin. It's helped me greatly but I've developed some respiratory problems and my Dr. thinks that my long term use of this drug might be the cause of my problems. I would like to find an alternative antibiotic to Nitrofurantoin. Any clue what drug would be equivalent? ## Hello, Tipsy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. According to the information provided by the NIH, the other antibiotics that can be used for prophylaxis of UTIs include Bactrim, Tr...

I started taking augmentin 875 4 days ago and I have gained 7 lbs. I'm hoping this is fluid retention. I am a personal trainer, I eat very well and exercise 5 times a week. If anyone has had the same symptoms please let me know. This doesn't seem normal. ## No, it isn't a normal side effect of this antibiotic and it is highly unlikely that most medications could cause anyone to gain that much weight in just a few days. Learn more Augmentin details here. And if it is fluid retention that you've gained that fast, it could be very dangerous and you need to consult someone to have it checked. Such rapid edema could lead to congestive heart failure. Have you had any other symptoms? ## Thank you for the reply. No honestly I haven't had any other symptoms other then being t...

I was prescribed an antibiotic called clindamycin 300MG capsules for cellulitis in my left lower leg I am a Little bit confused about what times take my medication I have taken one at 9 AM and I think in the next one at 3 PM I would like to know what are the best times to take this medication on time and I like to know what are the best times to take them ## There are no real best times, you should just remain consistent and be sure take them as close to 6 hours apart as possible. So, for example, 9am, 3pm, 9pm, and 3am, or whatever times are appropriate. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking Amoxicillin and I tested positive for cocaine on a urine drug test. How do I get scholarly information to provide as proof that Amoxicillin can cause a false positive result? ## I was taking 875 milligrams of amoxicillin for an infected tooth. I went to the dentist and they gave me 250 two milligrams of Lidocaine + 0.119 milligrams of epinephrine and 2% HCI. I had a urinalysis drug test which came back positive for cocaine on December 7th 2016.. I told them that I did not do any drugs but they didn't believe me so I went to a medical laboratory and had a 5-panel hair follicle test done which came back negative for cocaine, marijuana, PCP, opiates, amphetamines and methamphetamines. Then I was told that the hair follicle test doesn't mean anything even if it went back...

I have a past history of syphilis (20 years ago) and was treated. My diagnosis had shown negative up until this year - rpr 1:1 as of 6/30/2017 and Ftb/Abs positive as of 2 weeks ago. As of 8/12/2017 I took doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 14 days. Ftb/abs positive after treatment & contagious. ## It could be that you were given the wrong antibiotic, it is usually recommended that it be treated with Penicillin, unless the person is allergic to it. Generally, it only requires one large dose, according to NIH reports. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Are you on any other medications?

I'm prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg two times daily x 10 days. I've been on it for a week, but now waking up with a horrendous foul body odor and very bad breath. Initially I thought the odor was external but it's NOT. It was me. Please help. ## It is possible to experience such side effects with almost all medications, since they do have an effect on your body chemistry. However, they should go away, about a week or so, after finishing your course of treatment, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Has there been any change? How are you feeling, now? ## I was relieved to find this post. I started taking a 10 day prescription of amoxicillin to prevent post op infection after wisdom teeth extraction. ...
