I am a 27F 5”1 122 lbs I had a bad ear infection last week when I was traveling, I managed to see an ENT and she said that I have an upper respiratory tract infection spread to ears and gave me orinase spray and SPNPOD-CV ( Cefpodoxime Proxetil + Clavulanic Acid). The pain worsened with air travel

Hello, I'm 26 years old female. I've already posted on AskDocs a day ago about my sinusitis and ent symptoms and struggles with antibiotics and other prescribed medications. I had been on Cefpodoxime proxetil for about 2 weeks. While taking medications, I told the doctor that I had stomach discomf

83M, 51 kg One of the doctors gave a nasal spray (that delivers 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate with every spray), tablets - meftal forte, nurobion forte and levocetrizine. That sort of helped to an extent but I came to know about the nasal spray being a steroid and not good to use. So we went to a

26 Female About 2 weeks ago, both of my nasal passages were completely blocked, which led to difficulty in breathing at night, and when doing yoga, nasal breathing, swallowing, or trying to blow the one side of the nose, there was a crackling, popping sound or a sound that felt like the air is escap

26F, 13 weeks pregnant , currently taking cefpodoxime proxetil, no other health problems On Monday I experienced UTI symptoms and was able to do virtual urgent care to get antibiotics prescribed which I started same day. On Tuesday I provided a urine sample for testing Today (Wednesday) I got th

usually when a prescriber writes macrodantin 100 mg bid, i generally call them up and they're okay with changing it to macrobid 100 mg bid. but today i talked to a dr who pushed back a little bit (although still very polite and professional.) I said my usual spiel about how out of the 2, macrobid i

Tell me what would you do? The caveat is I told them we’re closing in 5 minutes and it’s not a good idea to call the Dr now (on the phone) ) to send it at our location and that there’s a 24 h pharmacy a block away. At 2 minutes she shows up and tells me Dr just sent it? And what if the line was long

Hey! My wife (F29) got a blister on the pinky finger a few days ago. Initially we both thought it was just a blister, but it has progressed quite significantly now to the point where we are unsure what it is. [Here is what the pinky finger looks like](https://imgur.com/a/NAzODn0) (note: it looks sli

So, I went to urgent care on Monday since I noticed a few things were happening. My first symptom was two swollen lymph nodes on the back left side of my neck. Then a general swelling started the day after, in that area. That evening I had pretty intense chills while going to bed and the next mornin

15M, 166 cm, 84 kg(??), 11 months of Ear Infection , currently drinking Amoxiclav ​ I'm in dire need of your advice. I might also vent throughout the post because I feel frustrated at their superstitions over health. I was washing my face when a small water droplet entered my right ear i

Can someone explain the point of this to me? Assuming you're treating cellulitis. Bactrim would cover both MRSA and MSSA...keflex would cover MSSA... So if you think there is a risk of MRSA why not just do Bactrim. Or, if you think MSSA why not just do Bactrim. Why do both? I did a quick uptoda

How long is a reasonable treatment duration for chronic osteomyelitis? I have a patient due to receive one year of cephalexin 500mg bid. Treatment guidelines say typical discharge oral antibiotic therapy is 8 weeks. I know the disease course can be relapsing, but do some people receive prophylaxis?

See relevant reddit post in a DarkNet sub [here](https://redd.it/3cp4vl). Basically, you can find cephalexin 500mg, amoxicillin 250mg, penicillin 500mg, etc. OTC in pet stores. I had no idea this was a thing. A couple Google searches for these products confirmed it. Obviously, I'm not going to reco

My favorite are the Cephalexin and Amoxicillin Suspensions because you just slap a label on them (and when you mix them it smells good). My least favorite is a tie between Warfarin and Spironolactone. I hate the scent of Spironolactone and hand counting Warfarin is a pain in my ass.
