to me it just looks like u hav an infection which is resistant to this particular antibiotic, and u might need to change the drug.consult your doctor for further advice on which antibiotic to use.usually symptoms decrease in intensity within 1-2 days and vanish in 5-7.

You probably do. A few years ago, I was sick and the doctor prescribed me some antibiotics. After I took all my antibiotics and I felt better, I soon developed a yeast infection. I went to the doctor and he told me it was because of the antibiotics

I would go to see a naturopathic doctor. A lot of the time, things like these are caused by underlying problems with allergies and food sensitivities or other causes. Try it, because you have probably become antibiotic resistant now that you have been on them for 4 years, and they will not work for you later if you need them.

If it's an bacterial infection - you may need to take 2 different antibiotics at the same time. If you're vomiting - maybe take an anti-emetic. But it sounds like you need to get to a hospital and they can tell you if you have an infection by doing a blood test. Make sure your course of antibiotics is long enough too. Check the strength of the antibiotics - if they are 250Mg - maybe you need 500mg. Don't drink alcohol with the antibiotics. If you have to pay for medical treatment and don't have full insurance cover go to a charity funded hospital for help. You haven't given enough info for a better answer - but go to a better doctor!

You were given the antibiotic because you have an infection. You should contact your denist as soon as he opens and discuss the fact that you had to go to emergency and are now on antibiotic and pain pills. He may want to wait for the infection to clear up before he does anything else. The antibiotic should start helping with the inflammation that is causing the pain. Take all of the prescribed antibiotics and take the pain pills as prescribed and do not drive.

go to the Dr. and get an antibiotic.  The pills will clear you up in less than 4 days.

Absolutely!! Alcohol makes antibiotics neutral-meaning it counteracts their effectiveness. Gonna drink?  don't take the antibiotics-it's a waste of a good pill. Save it til the booze is out of your system.

absolutely not, it will not affect it whatsoever. \n\n  keep taking your antibiotics until they are all gone, dental work or not :)_.

Drink all of the water you possibly can--I had a bladder infection a couple of months ago so I know--But get to your Dr. ASAP!  The water will help dilute the problem but antibiotics are the only cure!

No, I suffer with tinnitis & have never taken antibiotics & wouldn't make a connection if I had. Have you been exposed to any extra loud noises recently? Because that would be a major factor.

This sounds like a kidney and/or bladder infection to me. A simple urine test can tell-- Antibiotics usually knock it right out....

First of all, your biggest concern should be that you were "shooting up" in the first place. Second, you should NEVER EVER EVER take an antibiotic without having it prescribed by a doctor. Different antibiotics treat different kinds of bacteria, and when taken without a prescription pose a danger - they can make the infection more serious and resistant to treatment. Third - what are you thinking? See a doctor ASAP. You need treatment for whatever you have done to your arm (or leg or whatever), and you also need treatment for your drug problem. Please get help and see a doctor immediately.

The best way to see what antibiotic is best is to get a UA (urine analysis) done.  They'll culture it and decide which antibiotic will clear it up.  Only your doctor can do this and it's the best way to find out what will work for you.  Sometimes antibiotics alone won't do it.  Make sure you're drinking TONS of water, the best defense :)

could be a reaction to his bedding. make sure u arent using cedar or pine. use carefresh and/or aspen. he could have a cold for which antibiotics from the vet are needed. he shouldnt be in a drafty cold area & u shouldnt handle him when u have a cold.

Dont worry, this happens with alot of medications. Your body is simply passing the excess it is not using. The body takes what it needs and passes the rest. If I take a multi-vitamin it often turns my wee fluro yellow. Its just the left overs.\n\nIf it continues after you have finished your course of antibiotics, see your doctor.

Stop taking the throat losanges.  They may make you feel good now, but they tend to dry out the throat and make the problem worse.  They definately don't seem to be curing you of anything.  \n\nIf it keeps bothering you, go back to the doctor; you may have something besides strep throat, which would be the only thing antibiotics would work on.

If you have a bacterial chest infection, you should start to feel better 24 to 48 hours after starting on antibiotics. You may have a cough for days or weeks.  http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Chest_infections?OpenDocument\n\nAntibiotics are medications that help our bodies fight bacterial infections. Antibiotics kill only bacteria. They have no effect on viruses that are the cause of common infections like colds, flu, most sinusitis, and most chest colds (bronchitis).\nAntibiotics won't help you feel better or shorten the time you have a cold or the flu. Even if you have taken antibiotics in the past and they seemed "to work," studies have shown that antibiotics do not shorten the duration of illness for viral infections; you would have recovered as quickly on your own, without medication. Give your immune system the credit it deserves. Your uncomfortable cold or flu symptoms are signs that your body's defenses are working against the virus.  http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/home/healthtopics/antibiotics.shtml
