Antibiotics are the only way. Go see the doc before it gets serious. It can, I had to go to the hospital because of one that I didn't care for in time.

Some antibiotics you can take and have no effect. It just depends on what it is. If you're worried, call your doctor or even your pharmacist and ask them.

Go to a nutritionist. I have an allergy to yeast, and anything that feeds yeast. My throat doesn't swell or anything, but I get extremely severe exczema. Also, go to an allergist to test for other allergies.

Tylenol cold works great (plus the capsules are mint flavored, even though you swallow them whole).  Anything with pseudoephedrin in it, really, and Tylenol or ibuprofen if you have a sore throat.  Antihistamines like Benadryl work for a lot of people, too, but they've never helped for me.

There are other strong medicines that you may need to take. Other antibiotics that belongs to a different classification. The best thing to do is to see ENT, have a culture throat swab culture(which is important) we never know maybe the strep and other bacteria have developed resistance already with the one you are taking now(penicillin) so it will not work anymore.\nAlso, have soft diet, so it wont cause must pain when you swallow. Yes, drink a lot of fluids. Salt water may just irritate your throat, better to stop it. Use betadine gargle or any oral antiseptic 3x daily.\nHope you feel better soon.

Yeah, basically it is treated with Penicillin at 250 mg 3 times a day of Keflex at 250 mg 3 times a day.  In other words antibiotics.

Start eating yogurt.  If you need to go on antibiotics you will have some protection from the side effects.

Always finish a course of antibiotics, and do as the doctor recommends. If you stop taking antibiotics, because you are feeling better or feel that you don't have the need to take it, it will result in stronger bacteria and therefore your infection will persist and will be harder to fix the next time. Also drink lots of water and cranberry juice. So, please finish the course of antibiotics.

ton - Treatment consists of painkillers and fluids; if caused by bacteria then antibiotics are also prescribed. Usually penicillin, or erythromycin if the patient is allergic to penicillin. Amoxicillin should not be used because if mononucleosis is mistaken as tonsillitis and amoxicillin is given, a rash might develop.\n\nWhen tonsillitis is caused by a virus, the length of illness depends on which virus is involved. Usually, a complete recovery is made within one week, however with some rare infections they may last to over 1 week to 2 weeks.\n\nstep throat - Antibiotic treatment will reduce symptoms slightly, minimize transmission, and reduce the likelihood of complications. Treatment consists of penicillin (orally for 10 days; or a single intramuscular injection of penicillin G). Erythromycin is recommended for penicillin-allergic patients. Second-line antibiotics include amoxicillin, clindamycin, and oral cephalosporins. Although symptoms subside within 4 days even without treatment, it is very important to start treatment within 10 days of onset of symptoms, and to complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent rheumatic fever, a rare but serious complication.\n\nAmoxicillin should be avoided for treatment of a sore throat if bacterial (swab) confirmation has not been obtained since it causes a distinctive rash if the true illness proves to be glandular fever, better known as mononucleosis. This rash is harmless but alarming. Mononucleosis itself, however, can be extremely dangerous if left untreated.\n\nsinusitis - Therapeutic measures include simple painkillers (aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen) or similar), inhaling steam, nasal irrigation or jala neti using a warm saline solution, hot drinks including tea and chicken soup, over-the-counter decongestants, and getting plenty of rest. If sinusitis doesn't improve within 48 hours, or is causing significant pain, one should see a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroids. If the recommended doses and duration of antibiotic treatment(s) are ineffective, one should consult a doctor; who may suggest further treatment by a qualified specialist.\n\nIf left untreated, sinusitis can lead to bronchitis and pneumonia.\n\nFor chronic or recurring sinusitis, referral to an otolaryngologist is indicated for more specialist assessment and treatment, which may include nasal surgery.\n\nA recent advance in the treatment of sinusitis is a type of surgery called FESS - functional endoscopic sinus surgery, whereby normal clearance from the sinuses is restored by removing the anatomical and pathological obstructive variations that predispose to sinusitis. This replaces the less effective Caldwell-Luc surgery. Another recently developed treatment is balloon sinuplasty.\n\nimpossible follow these treatments

Registered Nurse here; Could be a number of things, however the first thing that comes to my mind, is your diet.  If you have a tendency to eat a diet high in acid, like tomatos, tomatoe soup, pizza, Italian foods, Mexican foods, etc.  Your likely to get mouth ulcers at intervals.  Doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, sounds more like an irration.  One can take 30cc of Maalox, with Benedryl exlier, read on container and see the correct dosage of Benedryle mix the Benedryl and Maalox together, swiss in mouth for about 30 seconds and swallow, this will coat the lesions in the mouth and offer you relieve.  Strongly advise you to make an appointment and see your health care professional ASAP! If something is amidst your catching it early.  Thanks for the opportunity  to address your question.

It may kill some of the white cells in your body. It wraps itself around white cells killing it for the mistaken bacteria. But don't worry. your body does produce millions of white cells a \nsecond. Pennicilin was discovered by frenchman Louis Pasteur in 1728 using a petri dish. He discovered that Pennicilin grows on rotten or dead cells and kills bad bacteria. This was a huge discovery as back then people died of simple disease like the flu and the cold or small bruises e.t.c. I hope this answers your question.\n\nJames Brennan

I suffer from various allergies to almost all antibiotics including ciprofloxacin ("Ciproxin"). I got dizzy, drowsy, and eventually throw up what feels like bricks on that stuff. Afterwards I felt nauseous for about an hour.\n\nSure, most antibiotics can cause drowsiness. They usually talk about heavy machinery and driving. If you do suffer an unusally bad reaction then you should reconsult with your doctor to find a less reactive medication.\n\nWhenever you start any new antibiotic medicine you should wait 1-2 hours before doing anything potentially dangerous. It could save your life. Some people may be fine until they reach a certain age and then *BAM* they're allergic. So, even if you've taken penicillin all your life you may find one day that it makes you really ill. Of course, drinking alcohol and taking antibiotics is also a no-no because it not only reduces the effectiveness but again it can cause seriously bad reactions. If you're taking anything else along with it you should always mention that to the doctor because they can look up known drug interactions and change your medication accordingly.

Rashes are a common allergic reaction to antibiotics.  You can develop a drug allergy at any time, even if you've taken the drug before with no reaction.  You may be allergic to penicillin.  Or then it's a reaction to something else.
