Hi,

What are the other symptoms you are seeing in your child, because respiratory illness in a child is classified as having simple cough n cold or pneumonia (which can be further classified as having severe or very severe ) which I am sure is not there ,otherwise any doctor should have noticed it.

The symptoms you should notice or cared about are
1) If the child behaves drowsy or lethargic or sleepy for the whole day
2) Fast breathing more than normal (more than 40)
3) If there is chest indrawing while deep breathing
4) If child is unable to eat or drink anything

Otherwise the season for viral is going on and it could be simply viral and most infections in children are usually viral and viral infection usually goes off by itself in 3-4 days.

Feel free to ask further questions

Hi,

Usually only paracetamol is given for viral and supportive treatment is given in addition such as proper diet and plenty of water for the child and anti-cough(depending whether the child has sputum or not)and something for nose as well,whether child has runny nose or not.

Antibiotic is usually prescribed along with it so that child does not get any other infection. I think it should already have been prescribed to you.

Can you write what prescription was given?

Yesterday, removing a tampon was uncomfortable, but today the pain was nearly unbearable. I also began experiencing UTI symptoms yesterday (urge to pee, pain in urethra and bladder at the end of urine stream). I was recently on antibiotics for a sinus infection and took my last pill on Monday. I've also been tested for STDs within the last year and have had the same sex partner. My hubby and I did have rough sex on Sunday but I felt fine and I urinated as normal. Could the antibiotics have given me a uti? What do you think about the scratched feeling? I'm getting worried.

Doctor's Answer

HI, Abrasion,or may be a scratchy feeling that you are having can have many causes out of which 1)Having rough sex is amongst the common causes 2)If you had sex before actually your vagina was wet(then causing an injury is relatively easy),you might not have been aroused properly 3)UTI itself is among the common causes giving you such a feel. I don't think that you may have had UTI because of any antibiotic,but if you have too less water during antibiotic course and antibiotic taken is a he ...

You probably have a Dental Infection Foci in the mouth and that is the cause of trouble. A good dentist will be able to remove the dental phobia you have as dental treatments now are free of pain and discomfort. If you have no childhood fear of dentist and now you are grown up then try to the understand the various dental instruments and their uses, this will remove THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN and remove the myth that dentistry is painful. This oral infection may cause various health problems at oth ...
