Avatar f tn Today I took my 15 month old son to one of his regular checkups. His doctor had noticed some fluid in his left ear and said he had a small infection. I told her he had a cold and some congestion but I didn't know about his ear. She prescribed him Amoxicillin for his ear and told me something about the dosage. All I remember her saying is something about 1 tsp.
2095738 tn?1339825243 I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and have had a double ear infection for over 2 weeks. I had them several times last year starting this time of year and always needed the super strength prescription with steroids. Because I'm pregnant, my doc is afraid to prescribe anything other than amoxicillin, but my ears have gotten so much worse. Has anyone been able to take anything different?
Avatar f tn Yes, I just got over an ear infection a few weeks ago and was put on amoxicillin and something with a B (an ear drop)-- the ear drops are more of a numbing agent than anything else...

Avatar m tn I have had a chronic ear infection in my right ear since I was 2. I had tubes put in my ear and after being on oral medication for 3 years my mom requested I be taken off them because they didn't appear to be working. Between ages of 7 and 18 I had 3 surgeries to clean the ear and a fourth surgery to remove 3 bones and the ear drum.
Avatar f tn They put her on amoxicillin for the ear infection. After taking 3 doses of the amoxicillin she broke out in Hives on her hands, legs, and feet. She was taken off the amoxicillin but the rash has now continued for a week now. It will appear and last about 5 minutes and then it is gone. It almost looks like blisters coming up on her feet. I took her to the doctor again today (1 week later) and they told me that she has erytherma multiforme caused from the amoxicillin.
Avatar n tn coli or salmonella infection. Amoxicillin is also sometimes used together with another antibiotic called clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This combination is sometimes used with a stomach acid reducer called lansoprazole. Since you havent mentioned what caused this food poisoning and other relevant information, its difficult to suggest a medicine. I ll just say, There are better medicines for food poisoning.

Avatar n tn Hi there, Amoxicillin in the preferred antibiotic in dental infections. The usual adult dosage is 500 mg given every 6-8 hrly.The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the severity of infection. If you are having a dental infection or cavity it is best to get it treated by a root canal before the problem aggravates. See a dentist. Take care and regards!

Avatar f tn I have been taking Amoxicillin for an ear infection since 6/2. On Thursday, I began to feel like I was getting a yeast infection. No cottage cheese discharge, but lots of pain and itching. I have had many yeast infections in the past, which began this way. Should I treat with OTC meds?

Avatar n tn In my opinion, the tiredness is probably related to this persistent infection and the anitbiotic. Are you following up with an ENT Specialist and/or an Allergist for this chronic/persistent sinus infection? This problem could also be allergy-related.

Avatar f tn 8, the same night the pain was really strong to the point where it would only subside if I was putting pressure on it with an ice pack or hot water bottle, doctor confirmed I had a middle ear infection and prescribed me 5 days of amoxicillin. I took them as directed but after the 5 days I still had ear pain, it was no where near as bad but still prevalent, I spoke with a doctor and she prescribed me 5 days of erythromycin and said it can sometimes take 10 days to clear.
