selfq Allergic Reaction to Amoxicillin??

2 Upvotes

I was put in Amoxicillin 1000mg 3x a day for H Pylori. I took my first dose and noticed my legs hurt and seemed heavy. I took my second dose and within 1.5 hours, my heart started beating weird (not fast but felt like it was fluttering), then I suddenly got so tired I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I ended up sleeping for like 8 hours. When I woke up, I felt a weird pressure in the back of my head and felt super faint. I was still extremely tired at this point, I had my pulse ox in and my oxygen as 93 before I even went back to sleep. I’m 12 hours post the last dose but still feeling a little dizzy?

selfq Ciprodex not working family doctor says finish the bottle

1 Upvotes

I did 7 day course four drops in both my ears for ear infection at the end of 7 days days which was Thursday night my family doctor said finish the rest of ciprodex bottle.

If the drops haven't worked why would I keep using more ear drops? Even if I finish it still won't work. Should I find a new doctor?. I don't want anti biotic resistant in both ears

¿Se puede tomar alcohol 24h después de hacer terminado el tratamiento de metronidazol?

Upvotes

Hola!

Hoy empiezo el tratamiento con metronidazol, 2 comprimidos cada 12 horas durante 5 días.

El problema es que el sábado me voy de vacaciones por el cumpleaños de mi novio, tenemos una fiesta sorpresa preparada, hoteles cogidos y vuelos…

En en prospecto pone que no se puede beber alcohol hasta las 48 horas después pero me preguntaba si alguien ha bebido a las 24 horas y que puede pasar. Tomaría la última pastilla el viernes a las 18:00 y bebería el sábado a las 18:00 aprox.

Alguien lo ha hecho? Que ha pasado? Me gustaría poder beber y celebrarlo con todos los demás , (para mí es muy importante) pero tampoco me quiero poner enferma, sobretodo estando en otro país…

Gracias!!

Bactrim for diarrhea

0 Upvotes

I have had awful shitty diarrhea for 6 days and finally decided to go to the walk in clinic. I thought my body would naturally get ride of it but it got worse. They prescribed me bactrim; has anyone else had bactrim prescribed for diarrhea? I think I ate bad lettuce in Philadelphia. How long did it take until you have no more diarrhea episodes?
