is amoxcillin a good treatment for proteus mirabilis?

Question

What's a good treatment for allergic reaction from amoxicillin?

Answer 1

Proteus mirabilis: I am assuming you have UTI with this organism. If so, Amoxicillin may be quite effective, assuming the strain you have is sensitive. Of greater concern is the fact that this bug is often present more often in complicated utis and perhaps this should be discussed with your doctor. Good luck.

Answer 2

Small drops: Two strategies that might be helpful: one would be to drop a few drops from a dropper into your babies mouth at a time until the dose is done. Sometimes babies will tolerate this better than the whole dose at once. Also, some pharmacies will add different flavors to the antibiotic, so you can experiment over time to find out which flavor your child likes best.

Answer 3

Give it in a nipple: Babies 2-12 months old are sometimes prescribed oral antibiotics (examples: amoxil, (amoxicillin) keflex, zithromax). One can "feed" the antibiotic to a baby by putting a nipple in the baby's mouth and dropping the medicine into the nipple. Another way is to mix the antibiotic with a few teaspoons of breastmilk or formula, and then give it in a nipple the same way.

Answer 4

Where You Put It: Give the medicine by dropper into the corner of the mouth where are molars normally are, while holding the baby at a 30-45 degree angle. It goes down very well and is almost impossible to spit it out from that position.

Answer 5

No: It's not likely to help. I would see your doctor to get a proper prescription and confirm the diagnosis of salmonella.

Answer 6

NO: Salmonella can be resistance to amoxycillin also all salmonella does not need to treat.

Answer 7

Unless in blood: Unless the salmonella is in the bloodstream or severe enough to require admission to a hospital, antibiotics will not help. May make the illness last longer.

Answer 8

Generally 24 hours: Once on the antibiotic for 24 hours is typically when schools allow students to go back to class, but i would also recommend reducing your exposure to others until the fever is gone and you start to feel better.

Answer 9

Depends: The general rule is 24 hours for public exposure. However, you might want to avoid deep smooching with your spouse & family members for a few days to be sure

Answer 10

Yes: There are 4 ingredients to thera-flu max d. Acetaminophen, guaifenesen, dextormethorphin, and Pseudoephedrine and none of those interact with amoxicillin.

Answer 11

Yes, but…: There are no significant drug-drug interactions between the two; however, do you really need a multi-ingredient med like theraflu max-d? What symptoms do you have? That formulation is intended for pain, fever, cough, congestion, mucous secretions. Best to use only as much med as needed for the symptoms you have.

Answer 12

No.: Currently, there is no evidence that suggests zinc interferes with the effect of amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is similar to penicillin, in that it interferes with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Because of this similarity, anyone with an allergy to penicillin should not take amoxicillin.

Answer 13

Unlikely: Certainly an usual question. What are you using zinc drops for and how? If this is topical and you are taking the drops orally they are not likely to have any significant effect. Some antibiotics may be partially inactivated by heavy metals, but i cannot find any data on interactions between zinc and amoxicillin.
