usually no, unless you have a secondary bacterial infection
The infection can get worse if the antibiotic chosen was ineffective against the particular bacteria you have-- or if it was really a viral infection instead of a bacterial infection. You should make another appointment to see the doctor. He may need to do a culture to identify the particular "bug" you have, or if he's already certain of the type of infection he may simply change the antibiotic.
An upper respiratory infection in cats is generally caused by a virus, against which an antibiotic would be useless. Therefore, there should not be any antibiotics being prescribed for this unless a secondary bacterial infection was also diagnosed.
Oh yes, dark green phlegm is an indication of a bacterial infection. Take the antibiotic.
No. Acyclovir should not be used to treat a sinus infection. Acyclovir is an antiviral drug used to treat herpes. Sinus infections are bacterial and require an antibiotic.
Take it to the vet

No, you should not give human medications to animals. While tetracycline is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections in both humans and goats, the formulations are very different and the dosages are very different. If you suspect your goat has a bacterial infection, you should have a vet come out and examine it. Tetracycline is not very expensive anymore as it is a generic antibiotic, so the largest expense will be to pay for the farm call.
The bacterial meningitis due to pneumococcus infection should be categorized as fatal. It is very dangerous as it can cause full-blown septicaemia.
They (he/she) should not push to get an antibiotic prescribed for something that does not have a bacterial cause like a cold or the flu.?
Pinamox, which contains amoxicillin, is an antibiotic that can be effective against certain bacterial infections, including some chest infections and sinus infections. However, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional who can determine if the infection is bacterial and if pinamox is the appropriate treatment. Always consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan before taking any medication.
It is possible for a child to get a fever after being on an antibiotic for three days. There are several reasons. A few of those reasons are that the child could be sick with a virus and not a bacteria, in which case the antibiotic would be useless. Another scenario is that the bacteria is resistant to the particular antibiotic and that a different one is needed. In either case, you should follow up with the child's physician.
