29 yr. old male with history of hypothyroid & has severe head cold and chest congestion since dec. muscle weakness and fatigue. is amoxil (amoxicillin) best route?

See doctor: Your head and chest cold should have nothing to do with your hypothyroidism. If you have had symptoms for over a month, you need to see a doctor to find out why.

Not best route: Amoxicillin, a common antibiotic helps us by assisting in killing certain types of bacteria which may cause illness. Head colds with congestion are most often caused by a variety of respiratory viruses (common cold) which are not affected by antibiotics. A common misconception is that an antibiotic can help with colds. It cannot. Hypothyroidism, if not properly controlled, can cause fatigue.

Impossible to say.: Without complete data and the ability to perform a history and physical it is impossible to recommends specific therapies.

Should see doc: Antibiotics are not the right answer for "head cold" and congestion especially since it has ben going on since dec. Muscle weakness and fatigue may be related to the hypothyroid so one should consider a thyroid test.

Not cold: "a cold" it is generally meant to refer to a viral upper respiratory infection or uri. This is a self limited infection which means it gets better on its own in 1-2 weeks. When respiratory symptoms have persisted for this long it's time to look for another explanation. See a doctor who can take some time, and follow up.
