I was just looking to see what antibiotics I could take for a sinus infection. I read 2 articles that said that amoxicillin was appropriate, but that doctors rarely prescribe them until after a week or so of severe symptoms.

Yes, I had been prescribed Amoxicillin along with Claritin--no reason why you could not also take a cough syrup...You can also ask your pharmacist i always take amoxicillin(antibiotic)and cold medicine every time i have a cold or fever.

specially if u have sore throat, amoxicillin will works better than cold medicine.

but you can also ask your doctor about it.

It depends on the NAME of the flu tablets.

Different brands and different strengths have different effects when mixed with other drugs.

Right now there is a 50% chance you'll be fine and a 50% chance you'll end up with severe stomach cramps for weeks.

ALWAYS read the LEAFLETS which are enclosed with medication. They are there for a reason.

I am confused why you are taking amoxicillin and flu tablets anyway - amoxiclilin cannot and will not cure flu, if that is why you are taking it.

Use the link below to check the brand name of the tablets you took/are taking to see if they have side effects with amoxicillin. In the future, read the information enclosed in the leaflets or ask a medical professional (call 111 in the UK to chat with NHS Direct).

Anti-biotics have no effect on the common cold virus.

Mother really was right, soup and sleep. Plain paracetamol works just as well as anything, ibuprofen can be used to reduce swelling (glands etc) but always read the packet carefully before taking any medicines.

Taking amoxicillin(or any other antibiotic) for a cold will not help the cold go away. The common cold is caused by a virus called the 'rhino virus'. A cold is not caused by a bacteria so an antibiotic is useless. Antibiotics only work on bacteria, not viruses.

Taking antibiotics when they are not medically necessary to treat an infection contributes to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

In certain cases an antibiotic may be prescribed to treat an infection secondary to the viral cold (bronchitis,sinusitis,etc.). Only your doctor can detect the secondary bacterial infection and treat it with the appropriate antibiotic, since different antibiotics work against different bacteria strains.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic which is generally prescribed to combat an infection. It should not be used for a simple sore throat unless it is prescribed by a doctor.

No does not work on colds because they are caused by viruses. Antibiotics only kill bacteria.

No, colds are caused by viruses not bacteria.

However, it will help with bacterial infections - if you have a sore throat it could be viral/bacterial in origin.
