Question 1

can i eat ice cream while taking amoxicillin 500mg?

Accepted Answer

: You can as long as you don't take the amox with the ice cream as absorption can be impaired.

Question 2

i have chalazion for months now.. can i take amoxicillin to make the lump smaller?? or what antibiotic should i take or cream to make it smaller ?

Accepted Answer

See Eye MD: You should visit an ophthalmologist for treatment.  Antibiotics have no effect on a chalazion.  They sometimes will go away with warm compresses to the eyelid, but if this does not work, a steroid injection or surgical treatment is advised.

Question 3

what type of insect bite gets worse with benadryl, (diphenhydramine) cortisone cream and amoxicillin?

Accepted Answer

Insect bite: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) treats allergic reactions.  Amoxicillin treats a small number of bacterial infections, but not all of them.  Cortisone cream relieves some inflammatory skin lesions like eczema and poison ivy.  Insect bites can lead to any of these problems, and your treatments may be insufficiently powerful.  Or maybe it's a staph infection, which is resistant to amoxicillin.

Question 4

is it normal for monistat cream and ovule to make me burn and itch in my vaginal area? i am also on amoxicillin for a severe coldlike sickness.

Accepted Answer

Stop antibiotic: which is most likely the cause of the vaginal infection/burning and itching. Ask your physician for an Rx for a diflucan (fluconazole) tablet

Question 5

irritation & itchiness outside of vagina. on amoxicillin 4 strep. monistat cream is making it burn like crazy when i apply it to the outside. normal?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: If the irritation is that severe then you you could have burning from the Monostat. Now see how you do. If you have improvement. If not see your doctor for other treatment options

Question 6

i have had an infection or some type of redness and swelling at my middle finger for over a month.  i have tried neosporin, peroxide, steroid cream, amoxicillin, i am not sure what it is and why it is itchy and painful?

Accepted Answer

: what you probably have is herpetic whitlow which is an infection with Herpes Simplex. This is a viral infection and would not respond to any of the treatments you’ve had . You can treat this with acyclovir which is an anti viral medication. The infection usually resolves over 3-4 weeks.

Question 7

i was prescribed apo-amoxicillin clav, a month ago for sinus infection:
i now have all the symptoms of a liver injury: 50 normal-mine is 450? (enzymes-liver)
whats going on, am i in serious shape? and could a coffee with cream before blood work affect lev

Accepted Answer

Liver injury: It's difficult today you have a liver injury. There are many insults that can cause liver enzymes to go high temporarily, like an infection or even some medications. But after a few days, they should fall back down to normal. One isolated value isn't as concerning as a more longstanding trend. It's unlikely your coffee caused increased liver enzymes (unless it was more Bailey's than coffee.)

Question 8

a red boil on left vagina lip has appeared out of nowhere. have been given amoxicillin and am using bacterial cream- painful when i walk or pee. help ?

Accepted Answer

Boil: This boil may need incised and drained if its not responding to antibiotics. I know it sounds harsh but this would definitely relieve the pain. You should go to the nearest ER or urgent care center.

Question 9

i have a dark red spot on my breast which itches at times and if pushed, is sore. it appeared 20 days ago and  has not spred.  i was prescribed amoxicillin, and applied muprirocin no changes..  now 2 days using steroid cream and it seems worse. ibc?

Accepted Answer

Stop steroid!: If it is worse after using the steroid, it is either a yeast infection, or a bacterial infection that is worsening.   I suspect yeast, because antibiotics did not help.  But I can't say that for sure, and you need to call your doctor today and ask what to do, since your doctor examined the rash, and I have not..  If you have fever, rapidly increasing pain, warmth, or red streaks, get seen STAT.

Question 10

i received a 2 week course of augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) sr & acyclovir/emla cream for nose infection. what is this specific infection called and what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Nasal infection?: Have no idea what you have. The Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is an antibiotic designed to treat bacterial infection with organisms common to the upper respiratory tract, and the Acyclovir is an anti-herpesvirus agent which has no efficacy used topically. You need to discuss what your doctor found with them, or get a second opinion.
