Question 3

i have difficulty breathing since 2 days i am taking cefditoren pivoxil since 5 days but still the same http://i.imgur.com/hevv7e4.jpg
please help?

Accepted Answer

Go back to doctor: If you are having trouble breathing then go back and see the doctor again asap.  Unless it is an allergic reaction, the third generation cephalosporin you are taking has no known pulmonary toxicities.

Question 4

can you take spectracef (cefditoren pivoxil) for a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic caution: It's best to get a doc's input on whether you need antibiotics or not...Particularly in this day and age when side effects can be worse (C. diff) and resistant germs are on the rise. The IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America) is against antibiotics for sinus infections. Best to see a doc and get proper advice before you go treating yourself. There's other good treatment that can be tried.

Question 5

i was given spectracef (cefditoren pivoxil), is this good for treating a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Cefditoren: This is a good "third-generation" cephalosporin antibiotic that targets a number of the germs responsible for a sinus infection (i.e. Strep pneumo, H. flu and some others). I would expect your symptoms to improve, but if not, you might have a resistance issue or something else going on. Hopefully with this and some TLC you'll recover just fine. Talk to a doctor if you're not improving.

Question 6

tell me about defditoren pivoxil plz?

Accepted Answer

Cefditoren: It is a cephalosporin antibiotic to treat mild to moderate infections of the skin or respiratory tract.

Question 7

my husband and i accidentally gave our 4 yr old son, who weighs 42lbs, a double dose of childrens benadryl (diphenhydramine) for his allergies (chewable tablets 12.5mg)?

Accepted Answer

??no numbers??: The only way for me to comment on the dose is if you list what you gave. Two 12.5 mg tabs in a 42 lb kid might make him groggy but shouldn't hurt in the long run.Four tabs would put him to sleep and he'd be out for a few hours. Luckily the med clears the body in 4-8 hours.

Question 8

i am having anxiety over food allergies. i am 23 and have 3 children with no food allergies. i am having anxiety over peanuts. is it possible or is it just anxiety? ive never had a problem with peanut butter. my kids eat it a lot?

Accepted Answer

Health Anxiety: Peanut allergies do not typically spontaneously arise in adults or older children, especially if the persons concerned have been eating it regularly without any issues. For Anxiety, try Journaling, Deep breathing exercises, and meditation/prayer to relax the anxious thoughts and soothe yourself.

Question 9

should i keep a cat even if it causing allergy problems with my children ages 2 thru 7?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Several factors here.  I usually never recommend it if the family is attached to the pet, but if it is causing severe symptoms, you should sequester the animal out of the bedrooms and living spaces.  Then make sure you thoroughly rid those areas of cat dander as it is a potent and tenacious allergen.

Question 10

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.
