I'd been having headaches for a month they tended to start in my nose and then above my eyebrows before turning into a proper headache so went to the doctors and they thought I had a sinus issue, I've been on them for 7 days finish my course tonight. However I've had two days,one today and one the day before yesterday where I've had bad headaches but the symptoms of sinus infections have gone,is this due to the antibiotics or another issue? Should I go back? I'm also on the pill so could it be that? ## Hello, Gee! How are you doing? Has there been any change? It's actually hard to say, the headaches can be a side effect of taking the antibiotic, as reported by the FDA, they can also be a symptom of a sinus infection, or it could be something entirely unrelated to...

Oral Cipro has risk of tendon rupture. Do Cipro ear drops have that same risk? I have just been prescribed Cipro ear drops for an ear infection. ## Hello, Monica! How are you? Yes, it does carry the risk of causing the same side effects, according to the FDA, which may also include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, experiencing these side effects from the ear drops is far more rare, since very little is absorbed systemically. Is there anything else I can help with?

Please tell me is amoxicillin the same as norco 325mgs? Dropped of script for norco 325 and came out with amoxicillin 500mg? Are they the same? ## Hello, Melissa! How are you?

Hi my name is Sharon and I got bitten by a spider I believe while visiting my daughter in an area where spiders are more prevalent. I ended up hospitalized and getting MRSA from this.

I was so afraid to go to the ER for this because it was so bad, it started out small with 2 little holes on the raised part of the area. But my doctor called me in amoxicillin to fight this infection. I knew it was infected because it got very red, hard to where if I touched it it left my finger imprint in my skin. It started spreading and getting larger before took the amoxiclllin, this antibiotic softened the area relieved much pressur...
