I had a sinus infection a few months ago and my doctor prescribed amoxicillin. Today I noticed the signs of a cold sore coming. Could I take the rest of my amoxicillin to get rid of it? ## Unfortunately, cold sores are caused by a virus, so an antibiotic will not help treat or prevent them. However, you could ask your doctor about taking Acyclovir, which is approved by the FDA to help prevent them. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain.

I see both nyquil and amoxicillin have acetaminophen. I take amoxicillin once daily for hip pain. I have very bad cold and need a Nyquil. Can I take it.

I have stuffed sinus .. cough and are tired/weak. I have amox/K Clav 500-125 .. would it be helpful towards these symptoms?? How many pre day should I take? ## Amoxicillin is a antibotic.It is used to treat bacterial infections. A cold is a viral infection, so it would do no good. ## @Becky Burnside, BL is correct, the Amoxicillin will not be effective for the cold. If I can recommend anything, it would be to intake as many fruits/vegetables as possible (especially citrus fruits due to their high vitamin C content!). Also, water with real lemon juice is a really easy way to build your immune system and should definitely help to fight off the cold sooner. I've read that it's most beneficial to drink the amount of water (in ounces) that is equal to half of your body weight. For ex...

mucus ,short of breathe, minor wheezing, coughing ## Hello, Wes! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so it will only help with bacterial infections. If your symptoms are due to something such as a cold or allergies, it will not help and taking it when it isn't appropriate may result in your developing antibiotic resistance. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has the presence of an infection been confirmed? ## I have used Amoxil for bronchitis and ear infections before. As long as it is bacterial it should treat a broard spectrum of illnesses.

I was prescribed Amox TR-K CLV 875-125 MG Tab from my doctor, however I still feel the symptoms of the cold. I've also read that Amox does not cure the common cold. Can I take nyquil with the prescribed drug to make these symptoms go away? ## That is correct, Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, a generic for Augmentin, is an antibiotic and is not effective at treating a cold, since colds are caused by a virus. However, many colds do lead to infections, since they can reduce your immunity and some people end up with ear or throat infections. Your doctor may have prescribed it to treat or prevent those, if you've been prone to getting them before. Learn more Augmentin details here. As to taking Nyquil with it, I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, bu...

Hello, I was prescribed amoxicillin for my tooth. It is decaying. It's black, but what do you expect? Ha. Anyways I have no signs of infection (I don't think) and by that I mean I don't have any swelling. It hurts (of corse half my tooth is gone), but that's it. She had a very strong accent and I think she said when it starts sweeping just start taking them. The prescription says start taking them ASAP... But I guess I'm battling an issue with myself because I don't feel an infection? So why should I take them? ## Hello, Spaz! How are you? If the tooth hurts and is blackened, then there most likely is an infection. Otherwise, it would only be sensitive to something very hot or cold, when you eat or drink. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, di...

Please help. ## Hello, Marce! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're sick. If all of your symptoms are just due to a cold, then Amoxicillin won't help. It only treats bacterial infections. And, since you are pregnant, it's very important that you see your doctor for a proper diagnosis, before you take anything. Otherwise, you could place both you and your baby at risk.

I have a bad cold and I've been taking a left over script with 2 pills missing from a whole cycle. Amoxicillin 500mg. Is this helping me or hurting me?? ## Hello, Barbara! How are you? You should not be taking an antibiotic for a cold. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and a cold is caused by a virus, thus antibiotics will do nothing to help. Additionally yes, you could be hurting yourself. Taking antibiotics when unnecessary creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, as does not completing the full course of antibiotic treatment, when they are prescribed to eradicate an infection. Is there anything else I can help with?
