I'm on Augmentin twice a day. I was just wondering if there is anything else I can do to speed things up to get rid of this ear infection? ## Not really, you just need to give the antibiotic time to do its work. How long have you been taking it? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. ## I take amoxicillin for ear infections and it always works ## Melted warm coconut oil has always helped me get rid of outer ear infections. Works for dogs too. Drip it into the ear, massage and wait 5 minutes. Drain.

Do doxytet work in curing ear infections if not wat can I get? ## Oral antibiotics can work, but they are generally not as fast and effective as the liquid antibiotics drops that you actually put in the ear. Learn more Doxytet details here. Was this the antibiotic prescribed for you to use? Learn more ear infection details here. The other advantage of the ear drops is that many of them also contain small amounts of steroids that can help with any inflammation and pain that you may be experiencing.

my 6 yr old has an ear infection that wont go away. he has tried several antibiotics. i wld like to no of a good and strong antibiotic that he can use. ## This may be something to talk to your doctor about, given your son's age. I do know that Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed for ear infections, and in most cases it gets the job done. In combination with an antibiotic, I would recommend infusing garlic with unrefined organic olive oil and rubbing that on the infected ear. Also another natural remedy would be putting warmed up rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and put it in the ear for roughly 15 minutes. A lot of people find this method to be very effective. Hope this helps!

Hello, my son was prescribed Antipyrine-benzocaine war drops in 2/2015. I had it put away sealed tight I poured some in my hand to check for any discoloration and looks clear as the first day we use. He is complaining of ear pain and I was just wondering if I can still use these drops since the expiration date is for 10/2016 which is this month? ## Hello, Tita! How are you? This is not actually an antibiotic, both of the medications it contains are used to alleviate pain and inflammation. If he has an ear infection, he will need an antibiotic, in addition to these drops. The FDA warns that the side effects of such drops may include dizziness, headache, ear stuffiness, and drainage. Is there anything else I can help with?

## We have some drops used for an ear infection for our oldest daughter: Neo/Poly/HC/1% OTIC sups 10 ML green. The last time we used them was December of 2010 and they have been kept in a cool dark place, within a capped, plastic airtight medicine container since. Now we wonder if we can use them for an ear infection or our youngest daughter? Do you think they are safe to use as directed? She is 17 years old. ## In most cases, it is best not to use antibiotics after the expiration date. The reduced efficacy can increase your risk of developing antibiotic resistance. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Thus, it would be best to see a doctor for a new supply, if one is needed. Liquid medications al...

I'm on amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day. I still have an ear infection and fluids behind my drum. Can i start zpak? Would it help heal it? ## Which one has your doctor instructed you to take? That is the one you should take. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

What am I supposed to do if I accidentally took my antibiotics 4 hours too early? I must take it every 8 hours, but I accidentally took my dose after 4 hours and just realized it... The antibiotics were given for wisdom teeth removal. ## In most cases, that would not be considered an overdose, unless you are allergic to the antibiotic, or suffer from certain problematic medical conditions. However, according to NIH reports, you may experience worsened side effects, which could include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Did you experience any adverse effects? Of course, it is always best to consult your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure.

Very large white antibiotic..I am on 875mg ## Basically, amoxicillin mixed with clav-something acid which just enhances the effect of amoxicillan, an antibiotic. Used for chest/skin/ear/throat infections.. ## Was given for severe swollen, kissing tonsils, with an absys on one, closed airway, swollen lymph nodes in neck, and accompanied by four day fever. two days on it and so far, feeling a bit better. ## The other ingredient is Clavulanic Acid, this is a generic for Augmentin. The Clavulanic Acid helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, while the Amoxicillin fights the infection that is already there. ## I have the flu or common cold....I have abottle cephalexin 500mg. The expiration date is 1/14/05. Will they be effective? ## Im on the 500mg and boy do they do some damage to you. they...

Had an ear infection for many years now, (6 years)which flares up every now and then. Go to the Doctors and get antibiotics, drops etc but it still comes BACK! Latest round of tablets now all gone, (Ciprofloxacin tablets prescribed this time) But can feel the pain coming back. Beside myself, enough is enough what can I do now??? ## Have you consulted an ear, nose and throat specialist? In such cases, it usually isn't the same infection ongoing, but something that is making your prone to get infections on a regular basis. This can sometimes happen to people who have a shape abnormality in their ear canals, or something wrong with their sinuses. Only a proper exam and testing is going to help you get to the root of the problem and find a solution. ## If it is a persistent MIDDLE ear i...

I was on ciprofloxin for a persistant ear infection, I felt good while on the antibiotics but now they have finished I feel generally lethargic, a upset stomach and a slight ear ache. Could this just be an after effect as the antibiotics wear off, because of damage to my immune system? ## this site is not medical professionals, so it is impossible for us to say with any certainty. It is possibly just your body recuperating, however, it is also possible that you are still suffering from the infection and the antibiotic did not entirely clear it up. Have you consulted your doctor, yet? Common side effects to this antibiotic can include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. You can read more about it here:

I just got off zpack about a week ago and before that i had taken penicillin vk 500mg. So i wanted to know if it's ok to take doxycycline 100 mg because my ears are bothering me now? ## That is fine, if your medical provider has instructed you to do so. The FDA lists the typical side effects of these antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. However, doing so without confirmation that you have an infection could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could put your life in danger. Why have you been taking so many antibiotics?

I started on amoxicillin March 15, 2017 for a 10 day course. I then started my cycle March 19, 2017 (just two weeks after my last cycle). It has not been heavy, just a very light bleeding. However today makes the 12th day. Is this normal?Also, should i start a new pack of birth control being that i am on my inactive days. I am taking birth control Tricylen-Lo. I just want to stop the bleeding already. Please help me! ## Some antibiotics alter the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives and may alter your cycle. Things should return to normal, once you are done with the antibiotic and start taking the active tablets, again, without interference, according to NIH reports. Has there been any change, yet? How are you doing, now? ## I'm back to normal now. I started my active pill and the ve...

I have taken one 150mg Fluconazole tablet to treat a yeast infection as a result of taking antibiotics. On the last night of taking my antibiotic I was in so much discomfort that I decided to take a Fluconazole to treat the thrush on the same night. I took my last antibiotic around (7pm and the Fluconazole much later at night before going to bed.) The symptoms have improved slightly within the last three days but I am still experiencing a very watery large amount of white discharge and red/soreness in that area. The Fluconazole I was prescribed had the instructions written by the pharmicist saying "Take one immediately and one in a week if required." It's been 3 days since I have taken it and was wondering whether it would be too early to try and take another as I am finding...

I've taken amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for 21 days. I started out with a bad sinus infection and ear infection. I'm still running a low-grade fever, blowing thick yellow junk out of my nose & coughing up brown junk when i first get up. I've also been using floxanose nose spray and I'm aching in my back and sicker now than i was when i went to the doctor. What antibiotics can i take to get better (alongside methadone)? ## The discoloration of mucous does not always designate and infection, sometimes it just shows that your body is trying to fight something off. The Flonase can actually cause the symptoms you've described as a side effect, according to FDA reports. The Amoxicillin can also cause some problematic side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, ...
