Superbugs & colds...

MMMMMMM Cavicide
Don't want that on my hands. Have you read the caution statement on the label?
Good for surface cleaning but not for contact with the skin. You can be a guinea pig though if you like.
 
I have da latex gloves, mint green colored too. Trust me, I don't touch the stuff with bare hands!!!!!! I also have N95 masks. Next SAR scare, I'm making mo money!!!!!
 
the thing with antibiotics besides Amoxillin is it gives me heavy gas, such as cefolexin or whatver other anti-biotic. how long will amoxcillin still be out there?

and Kristie have you tried, good old fashion sleep, water, and hot easily digestible foods? and think about getting an air purifier it helped a lot when I lived in the dorms.-hope you feel better.

Hey doc,

I really like using sudafed non-drying sinus but can't seem to find it in any store in phoenix and even drugstore.com doesn't have it in stock. The reason i like it is because of the guaifenesin really keeps me from getting constant sinus headache and/or infection when i have a cold like this. is there any other product you can recommend over the counter that has the same product or effect that the non-drying sinus does? I wish i could find some because i get sinus infections like dogs get fleas and i try to do whatever i can to prevent it ahead of time, without it i feel like i'm in a lose lose battle, and am already starting to get continual sinus problems.

appreciate the suggestion...cold is better today, voice still the same, cough better but sinus's getting worse.

I think the Walgreen stores around here still have it or atleast the generic. If you want I check and drop them in the mail if they do....Send me a PM
 
well, my sinus infection is back....I took all of the amoxi as instructed... only 2 days worth were taken overseas and i did separate the timings from when i drank my beers..but i continued to have a cough (in the middle of the night) that would only disappear with the dissolution of a cough drop...on the way back overseas, i started coughing more and now, i know the infection is back simply because of the amount of drainage/congestion. the weird thing is that it's not draining down my throat anymore (that i can tell even tho i have a slight sore throat).

my question is: is it ok to call the doc that prescribed the amoxi, get another 10 pills and take them or am i going to need him to prescribe something stronger to clear the bug altogether?? big concern is having to take more time off of work to go into another doctor's appointment...I think i've used all of my sick time by now.

The question is "DId youever get better?" If not, then the amoxicillin was not the right antibiotic. Yoy may need something with a different spectrum of coverage (maybe Augmentin or Levaquin).

Also, it is hay fever season, both here "und im Deutschland". This may be exacerbating your problem. Ragweed is the big culprit this time of year. You may also need to be on a steroid (Flonase) nasal spray in addition to other antibiotics to clear yourself up.

Sounds like you may need another visit to the doc, especially sincew you are not better. To do PHONE MEDICINE right now would not be the best for you.

Hope you feel better.:)
