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.
Avatar f tn For some reason I get an ear infection with every pregnancy, lol. I have taken this with all 3 so far and have 3 perfectly healthy kids. This is #4 and I haven't had one yet but I still have 12 weeks left to change that, lol.
Avatar f tn You might ask your doctor for a broad-spectrum antibiotic, also known as a 'z-pack': this usually takes care of nearly everything in just a few days.
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 f tn Is it safe? And ear drops? Are those safe to take? I have a severe ear infection.
7892775 tn?1395673991 I got a head cold that turned into a sinus infection and ear infection... you can take amoxicillin while pregnant... I was given it... if you get an ear infection though they cant give you anything for the pain-- it *****!
Avatar n tn Amoxicillin is fine if it's the correct antibiotic. Dental infections can be from either an aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria. Having the correct antibiotic is VERY important. I urge you to at least call your dentist for approval before you treat a dental abscess yourself. Amoxicillin may be fine, but you may need something like clindamycin instead. Also, it's very important that a FULL dose is taken for dental infections.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with middle ear infection. I was given amoxicillin and it brought the swelling in my lymph node down. I noticed the swell is back with slight tightness as before? Could it be more serious or the medication wasn't strong enough?
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 f tn I was prescribed Amoxicillin a couple days ago for strep throat and an ear infection and when I opened the bottle to take it I noticed that it smelled bad. I don't know if it's normal or not so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn zithromax is amoxicillin
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!
1194973 tn?1385503904 Now if she waks in the middle of the night after going to bed good, and runs a fever over 100.3 for more then a day ir caould be an ear infection, but they do not treat those with antibiotics usually anymroe and if she ever got one I suggest getting the antibiotic ear drops. They go to the area and work faster, less time on them and no threat of a yeast infection like from an oral antibiotic.
Avatar n tn A child who takes 5 ml of the 250mg/5ml dose, for example, is receiving 250 mg of amoxicillin. The recommended pediatric dosage varies from 25 mg/kg per day to 45 mg/kg per day, depending on the underlying infection, according to Rx List. The suspension should be shaken well and measured with a marked measuring spoon to ensure that the right dose is given. Regular silverware should not be used to measure medication doses, warns Drugs.com.

Avatar m tn I have been taking a course of amoxicillin for this ear infection. They seem to be working as symptoms are progressively going away but I am getting very light headed and dizzy off them. Is it the amoxicillin doing this ?
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 m 32+ 1 and am currently on Amoxicillin twice a day for the ear infection. Amoxicillin is a catagory B antibiotic which is safe for baby. Feel better.

2017838 tn?1330598150 Amoxicillin (875 mg oral tablet) 2 times a day Nasal Saline (every 3 hours) Ibruprofen (200 mg) every 6-8 hours there is improvement except for ear popping.however, 2 days ago I went to Michigan and slept at my friends.

613536 tn?1294238447 I want to add to Riot-Queen's response by asking if her nose is stuffy? Babies who have stuffy noses can't breathe and then can't eat. If her nose is stuffy, use saline drops and suction her before mealtime! She'll be angry about it but then she'll at least be able to eat.
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.
676912 tn?1332812551 The specific effects of an amoxicillin overdose will vary, depending on a number of factors, including the amoxicillin dosage and whether it was taken with any other medications or substances. Effects of an Amoxicillin Overdose A mild amoxicillin overdose probably will not cause any significant or lasting problems. However, a large overdose could affect the kidneys, possibly causing poor kidney function or even kidney failure.
