Accepted Answer

Otitis externa: Pseudomonas is a common cause of swimmer's ear or otitis externa and is usally treated topically,  however, in diabetics and some immunocompromised people, the organism invades into the temporal bone of the skull and then is treated with systemic antimicrobials such as ceftazidime.

Question 6

stronger cephalosporin than ceftriaxone against e coli, maybe cefepime, ceftazidime or cefpirome

Accepted Answer

How sensitive are u?: The strength of an antibiotic is measured by how active it is against a specific organism. For the right bug, plain old penicillin may be the 'strongest'. The most important thing to know is the sensitivity or susceptibilities of your bacteria.  If your infection is not responding to ceftriaxone, odds are it is resistant to all cephalosporins.  Some remain susceptible to cefepeme but not all.

Question 7

what are the signs that you might have a cat allergy?

Accepted Answer

Sneezing.....: Runny nose, itchy nose and throat, nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, and possibly even cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

Question 8

can muscle cramps be a sign of drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Athough any medicine can cause almost any possible side effect, having muscle cramps result from a drug allergy would be on the unusual side.  That being said, the statins for high cholesterol can cause muscle pain.  But that isn't an allergy.  Nevertheless, i would think about other possibilities first.  I would recommend seeing your regular physician.

could increased heart rate be a sign of a milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

Milk allergy: Gi symptoms would be most common.  While increased heart could be observed this is unlikely single symptom.

Question 10

i have an allergy reation for 5 years, days ago imy lips are sore now my are burning and so thin.is this a sign aphyaxis?

Accepted Answer

No: Anaphylaxis is a lift-threatening allergic reaction and not just what you have .  In fact, in the absence of itching, your problem is more likely from an irritant.   Chronic Prednisone intake may also thin your skin and lips.
