Question

21 m old boy, 2 ear infections, high fever, bad cough, runny nose, congestion, irritability, sore throat. Loss of appetite on amoxil (amoxicillin) for 3 d no change?

Answer 1

Hard to tell: A sore throat is generally associated with many illnesses. In order to have an ear infection folks generally have some associated cold symptoms first and maybe fever later. A sore throat is also associated with simple viral illnesses and asl Strep throat. If you do not get better in a few days seek attention. Dr Rogu

Answer 2

With all of those go: See your primary care doctor for a thorough workup. There are so many possibilities that 400 spaces here could not do them justice. If you are not getting answers from your current physician, there certainly no reason for not getting a second opinion and even several specialty opinions if necessary to clearly define the problems. Do that at the soonest possible date.

Answer 3

Yes: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Answer 4

Yes: Amoxicillin is in a class of antibiotics called penicillins. These are safe in pregnancy and lactation. It sounds like your obg is treating you for an early breast infection. Complete the antibiotics as prescribed, use massage and warm compresses for comfort and continue to nurse your baby. It will be good for you and for your baby. Notify your obg for fevers > 101.

Answer 5

Urinary losses: Unless you have long standing diarrhea or take water pills, you abnormally lose potassium in urine. Need to see a nephrologist. It is possible that your adrenal gland secretes more of aldosterone hormone than normal. Lab tests would confirm this. There are other possibilities too that need to be ruled out by your doc. It may end up that you will need to take a potassium pill or two, long term.

Answer 6

See doctor...: You need to see your doctor asap so that your mouth, especially tongue and throat, can be examined. Is your tongue a different color than usual? Is it swollen? Any difficulty breathing? Any skin rashes? It is not possible to make this diagnosis without actually examining you so call your doctor today!

Answer 7

See an ent.: Your symptoms sound like you might have gastric reflux. The acid can cause chronic sore throat and cough and sore tounge. It is wise to see an ENT specialist to rule out anything else serious.

Answer 8

Is it a cold?: Colds can last for a few days to a few weeks. But, some of you symptoms could be an indication of allergies.
