    Ever had extreme pain with a sinus infection?

    Check the new black box warning. It can happen AFTER you stop taking it. But it is a good antibiotic for anaerobic infections. I would mention your concerns to your doc because there are other antibiotics that work very well that don't have that side effect. The first thing is to get new Xrays...

    Ever had extreme pain with a sinus infection?

    Honestly Debbie, I have had both!!!! One tooth abcess that was unbelievably painful, even after the root canal. Needed weeks of antibiotics to clear it up. This is because the germs in there are ANAEROBIC and much harder to kill. Also, root canal and all dental work can hide infection for a...

    Forget Myrtle Beach - we're going to the Outer Banks!

    TeTe, how sad!!! We stayed for a month once with my mom's DH whose family were locals for many years. The one thing that frightened me was the lack of medical help. You have to be flown somewhere if you have a serious problem. The locals are soooo wonderful though and help everyone they...

    OMG Hand sanitizer damage

    It's a clear liquid, so I'm guessing that some dripped down without me noticing. But I am a clean freak, so I know it was no longer than 2 days that the bottle sat there. Seems pretty quick to eat thru 3 layers of paint. I just looked at the bottle and the active ingredient is ethyl alcohol...
