Question 3

what may be antibiotics that can clean your immune system as a result of an overdosed of another drug.meanwhile the person that overdosed drugs which are pain killers is pregnant in about 3 months now ,so doctor what you say on that?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant w O/D: I would not expect an antibiotic to act as a cleanser or to correct typical effects of analgesic overdose. I would be very concerned about a pregnant female over-dosing. If deliberate that would warrant mental health assistance. I wish that person well.

Question 4

hi, doctor, what may be antibiotics that can clean your immune system as a result of another overdosed drug/antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

No treatment needed: If you are ill following antibiotics -- e.g. certain kinds of severe diarrhea -- follow your doctor's advice about treatment. Otherwise, don't worry about it. Even after large doses of antibiotics, or an overdose, the immune system is not harmed. Other effects, such as your body's normal bacteria being resistant to some antibiotics, will take care of themselves over a few weeks. No worries.

Question 5

can i still exercise while taking my medication listed in my profile?.i'm on my third week taking a new antibiotic for sinus

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you exercise at a high intensity and have an infection you need to back off some if you have significant fever you might need to take break and rest. Some antibiotics risk a serious skin reaction if sun exposed.Why are you taking antibiotic? That reason is more likely to slow you down than the antibiotic itself check with your doctor with these details to be certain.

Question 6

does lowering the dose of a medication (e.g. antibiotics) eliminate the side effects?

Accepted Answer

If dose related: Medication side effects can be dose related or intrinsic.  But doctors provide medication in doses appropriate to the condition.  Dropping the dose of an antibiotic can lead to ineffective outcome and even emergence of drug resistant organisms.  You should inform your doctor of side effects prior to your altering your medications.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it is fine to take the next dose at the normal time

Question 8

when would   seek immediate help if i have a verified antibiotic medication allergy?

Accepted Answer

Drug rxn/allergy : Most medication allergic reaction involve the skin and will clear with time. However drug alleries can be severe, even fatal. Seek immediate help for severe multi-system reactions (anaphylaxis), reactions affecting breathing or swelling of the airway, and/or painful involvement of mucus membranes (stevens johnson syndrome). Meds associated with allergic reaction should then be avoided. Check w doc.

Question 9

i took a one time antibiotics medication prescribed a day prior. am i able to drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Antibiotics would not interfere with your ability to drive, symptoms from an infection may.

Question 10

for how long after finishing a course of antibiotics does the medication continue to work/have an effect against infection?

Accepted Answer

Not very long: Antibiotics such as antibacterials or antivirals don't last that long in the body. Often, these medications are chemicals that patients take orally, to interfere with the life and reproduction of bacteria or viruses. Our bodies do a good job of breaking down and removing chemicals that we swallow, such as antibiotics. Most effects fade after a couple of days. Some (like Zithromax) can last a week.
