The hole isn't from an allergic reaction! It's from repeated sinus infections & having constant drainage or regular prolonged drug use.

Itching of throat, coughing and light fever...
Re: David (# 1)
Thank you. Your info was useful.
I believe I have strep throat. I was taking Cipro for a viral infection in my belly and now my throat is sore and swollen.
I have a Tonsillitis,it's very painful,can i used ciprofloxacin to heal it?
My throw is red and I'm having pain to swallowing and mucus can I take cipro to prevent getting worse
I have suffered chronic sinusitis 2-3 weeks ago and was treated with oral amoxiklav but I still have recurring sore throat and fever. Now my said I'm suffering from tonsilitis, He has prescribed ciprofloxacin and cetrixine for me. Can I please use this? Thank you.
That was exactly my question. I think it's due to sinus drainage, sore throat, itchy and swollen glands. I have been taking this med for stepping on a nail. So there's no need to go in if the ciprofloxacin works for both. Thanks this saved me a trip and money which will make me feel better. Lol
Which medicine is better for a throat infection, cold and headache? Please help me.
Please can I used ciprofloxacin to treat my sore throat? And if yes, how effective will it be?
Actually that's levequin that can cause tendon rupture not cipro and it usually only affects the older community.
Sir to day my wife went to doctor due to fever headache and cold doctor gave ciprodac 500 and k- mol paracetamol after taking that tablet's she was getting her body full red and allergic and sweating immediately she went again and doctor made injection and said that tablet does not suit to your body
My throat is really sore can hardly talk it hurts I swallow it hurts my ribs hurt just wondering if this would be good for me and if it is where can I get it in Oshawa Ontario Canada
If his doctor prescribed it why come on the internet and ask? Do you trust strangers more than your doctor? If so....get with a doctor you trust....doctors go to school many years to learn how to treat illnesses. They prescri;e with that knowledge. Looking up information on medication is always a good idea. However if you have leftover antibiotics and just want to try them on your son. .not a good idea, this is part of the problem and misuse of antibiotics. First you didn't take the prescription as ordered and put yourself at risk and potentially vulnerable the next time you need antibiotics and second place your son at risk for the same by using an antibiotic that is not a full course. Rebound illnesses can mutate causing the antibiotics to no longer work effectively needing another antibiotics..and so on and so on...til none work.
No, antibiotics that are lying around your house should not be taken for ANY reason and should be thrown out. You don't take antibiotics to 'prevent' anything except, possibly, surgical infections under the guidance of your surgeon. You should NEVER EVER EVER take antibiotics without a confirmed diagnosis of a bacterial infection under the guidance of a doctor.
Never use Cipro as a 'preventative' for anything. I'm not sure why many of you are asking about whether you can use Cipro for certain problems. Unless you have gone to your doctor, had it determined that you ACTUALLY have an active bacterial infection confirmed by culture, and your doctor gave you a prescription, then you should never take an antibiotic at all!
These are not Tylenol, you don't simply take some random antibiotic you have left over in your cabinet because you feel bad. And Cipro is one of the most dangerous. YOu can end up disabled for life because you took this antibiotic when you didnt' have an infection.
Please read some of the horror stories about Cipro all over the internet before you take this drug. EVEN IF your doctor gives you a prescription for this drug, you should ask him if there are ANY alternatives. Not BETTER alternatives, but ANY alternatives at all. These drugs are unsafe and should be used as a last resort for only life threatening infections for which there are no alternatives.
PLease read this site and educate yourself on the horrors that are the Fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
