I was diagnosed with strep throat on January 4, 2007. I finished taking my antibiotics. And my throat became sore again so I was at the doctor's office by the 19th of January. I got more medication from the doctor. And today I can feel that it is coming back.

Help Me Please!

Last Friday I was diagnosed with a case of tonsilitis. I was prescripted AMOXICILAN for 5 days (3 tablets a day). I've never been prescribed antibiotics for that short of a duration. The antibiotics seemed to take forever to kick in. My sore throat just went away two days ago and my fever just let up last night. I feel basically alright now, but I still am naggingly coughing up green-colored junk from my lungs. Should I go back and get a second round of antibiotics?

The use of antibiotics in the period directly after discovery did decrease the level of disease caused by infectious agents. however is it not also possible to state that a more important developement leading to a decrease in the mortality rate was the increase in hygeine and nutrition

I have infected bladder every two months or so for about two years now. I can't live with this anymore. I am taking antibiotics when i have an infection. My urine tests are ok after taking the pils. I was at urologist and he prescribed the same antibiotics. Last time I had infection, I had blood in my urine and high temperature.

This infections aren't connected with cold, or cold feet. I also don't sit a lot, I don't drink coffee or alcohol. I tried everything.

Why I have bacterias in my bladder, how they get there every two months? Does anyone have the same problems? I can't take antibiotics whole my life. This thing is making me mad. Please , if anyone have an experiences answer me.

thank you

I prefer an experienced/qualified person answer me. It started out w/ a cold/sore throat/sinus problem & it's been 7 days now since my left ear's constantly buzzing (Sharp EEEEE noise) & I can't hear much w/ that ear. I've been to 2 Walk-In Doctors so far, & 1 gave me 500mg Biaxin (2x /day for 7 days) & the other 1 said it's Viral & only gave me Aspirin Cold & Sinus (200mg Ibuprofen & 60mg Pseudoephedrine). I've been using LidoSporin (AntiBiotic/Anesthetic Ear Drops), but they don't seem to be helping either. I tried LemonGrass, Ginger, Cinnamon, Green, Chai Teas & even did a HeadStand for ~5 min. I'm also using a Warm Moisture Humidifier in my room. I often get migraine type headaches & just take Extra Strength Tylenol for that. I'm gonna try Sudafed as well, but I heard that AntiHistamines dry the Ear out. I'm confused as to whether we want the inside to be Moist (Drain it Out) or Dry (Virus would Die w/o Moisture ?) Would applying heat Help or make it Worst ? Any other suggestions ?

a person in california has received therapy from a general family medicine doctor for 4 months with no re-examinations performed. The doctor did not keep treatment notes; therefore, how does a doctor @ a facility with several doctors providing treatment to my friend know if she needs to keep treating or not. He never asked how she was doing with the treatment.

Way back when I was a bit younger, I always believe toward the question asked above to be true. Until then, when I found out from a particular website that it's just a conspiracy, that's the time I began to wonder. Moreover, it also stated that it's one of the science stuffs which has been wrongly conceptualized. Do you have any idea in line with matter that would eventually clear me up? Your insights are highly appreciative and I want to thank you all in advance :)

My sisters and I all have odd ailments for are ages, that are not hereditary. We believe it is from the passing of the Agent Orange Dioxide from our Father.

Do you have any ailments you can't explain?

My boyfriend just had the stomach flu, vomiting and the whole nine yard about 3 nights ago. I haven't been near him because I'm terrified of the stomach flu, but I miss kissing him. How long should I wait until it is safe?

Previously a doctor told us my grandson had a blood disorder abnormality. After a bone scan he was referred to an infectious disease doctor who ordered an MRI prior to ever seeing him because he had been fighting pneumonia for a month. Thank God because the MRI showed he had a tibial abscess and he was rushed into surgery. When they performed the surgery there was live bacateria growing so they were able to identify it as MRSA. He's 7 and has two siblings. The entire house has to be decolonized; he will receive antibiotics for 6-8 wks via an IV.
