Do not self medicate, if you have a medical problem go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) about your problem. The Doctor has bee trained for at least 6 years to be able to diagnose and treat what is wrong with you.
Use of medications without the supervision of a Doctor is dangerous and contributes to medicines becoming ineffective as pathogens evolve to tolerate them.
Yes, cephalexin is for your infection -- remember to take every single pill to kill every single bacteria causing the infection! Mucinex is an expectorant for the congestion, so it's OK to take both.
No. The infection can aggreviate. You don't need to swim in that condition. If you do, you risk even more severe infection. Also, you need to consult your doctor for the thorough advice. Online advising, although good, can never replace the information given by your doctor so make sure that you go and ask your doctor about it.
Yes it's ok just make sure you dont let anyone else use it after u for a while
Two possible reasons: (1) the infection killed hair cells or otherwise damaged the ear, (2) most antibiotics which are used to treat ear infections also kill hair cells. OK, now it is less prevalent than before. BTW, hair cells help transduce sound to neural signals.
well it does hurt when you have a burst ear drum so no it is not OK
Yes.It is ok to take a shower when you have one, but it may be better to take a bath as long as you dont submerge you ear while using shampoo and conditioner, probally try to use a plastic cup to block the water.Hope This Helps!
check this out with your vet. if the dog needs it then the vet will prescribe and give correct dosage
Earache is mainly due to problems in either the outer ear (from the earlobe to the eardrum) or the middle ear (behind the eardrum). In some cases, problems in the throat or the mouth, such as tonsillitis, can also cause earache.Listed below are some common reasons for earache.Ear waxEar wax can gather in the ear canal (auditory canal). Eventually it can form an ear plug, which impairs hearing and may cause pain.Using a cotton bud doesn't help because this usually only pushes the wax further inside the ear, doing more harm than good. It also carries the risk of perforating the eardrum.A plug can be softened with a little olive or vegetable oil. Drops can also be bought at the chemists that are designed for this purpose.The practice nurse at your doctor's surgery may syringe the ears by flushing out the ear wax with water.Inflammation of the middle earUsually earache starts further inside the ear. Inflammation of the middle ear is the most frequent cause and is often (although not always) due to an infection.Because of increased pressure in the middle ear, the eardrum is stretched and swollen. This impairs hearing and is painful.Mild painkillers such as paracetamol can be used if the pain is severe.Antibiotics may also be prescribed. However, the role of antibiotics is still uncertain. They probably do not offer any benefit in the majority of people with inflammation of the middle ear, and often are associated with side effects.
Toddlers should be kept out of the swimming pools; water going into the ears (particularly due to the chlorine levels) can cause some pain to the child whilst the ears are infected.
Sure why not
it is as long as you haven't caused them to be stretched
no no
