Question by Me: I’ve been taking antibiotics for my sinus infection for about 5 days, stomach is still upset off and on?
All my other symptoms of the sinus infection have cleared, and I have not had a single problem with my nose throughout the course of these antibiotics or even the week before that. My swollen glands have gone down, my throat and my eye quit hurting. And my stomach doesn’t hurt after taking the antibiotics, it does it at any time. Any ideas? Is it still the sinus infection that’s causing the pain?
Best answer:
Answer by John There are over 300 different antibiotics and antibiotic kills the friendly bacteria in your intestines.
Live digestive enzymes heal and every single cell in your body needs live digestive enzymes to break down undigested food we eat. You should chew your food well to create saliva which is live enzymes.
Question by : tooth pain when biting, on a tooth that had a crown about a year ago?
I have a tooth that had endodontal treatment (i.e. root canal) about a year/9months ago and a crown placed on it (upper left molar). Since then it’s been perfectly fine, however tonight I woke up and found that the tooth was painful when I bite on it. I tried pressing down on each tooth one by one and only the treated molar has this pain. It’s kind of dull, i.e. I can stand this pain, like a discomfort when I bite even when I clatter my teeth together there’s no *sharp* pain.
Before I had the root canal and crown, for years I used to get this symptom with the same tooth that often precedeed a cold, i.e. indicative of a sinus infection. Once I presented to a dentist with this issue and after a bit of poking around he told me it was sinusitis and gave me antibiotics. This led me to ignore this symptom for years, in fact it did used to be quite a good predictor of colds, I’d get the pain in the tooth then a cold would come.
Then last year the tooth developed an abscess on the gum, classic root canal stuff and I had to get the root canal and crown.
My sinus has been a little clogged in recent weeks but it has improved in the last week I don’t feel like I’m coming down with a cold. Plus it is only this one tooth. But it is exactly like the symptoms I used to have.
However now its worrying me that the root canal has failed, there is infection and I will lose the tooth after paying a fortune (cash) to get it treated.
Does anyone have any advice?
Best answer:
Answer by pareconda It sounds like the root canal treatment has failed. If it has, the length of time it is likely to have been present means that any infection will be seen on an x-ray, which means that you should see your dentist. Further treatment would be very difficult as the existing root filling would have to be removed (this is more difficult through an existing crown). And then it will have to be refilled. The success in this in molars is very low/poor. If it were mine, I’d have it out.

Question by Mark Morrison: I’ve got shortness of breath about 3 weeks after lung infection?
About a month ago I felt my neck clogging up and had shortness of breath. I went to the doctor and she said my tonsils were swollen and that she noticed some sort of white thing on the tonsil. She listened to my lungs and then prescribed me anti inflammation medicine. A week later she prescribed me clarithromycin. After being done with the antibiotics I still had these “bouts” of shortness of breath.
They would start as a feeling of clogging in my nose and neck and then proceed to wheezing and SOB. I went to the doctor again and she took samples of my neck which came back normal for haemolitic streptococcus group C. My doc said this type of streptococcus is mild and giving the antibiotics took care of most of it there’s no need to pursue more treatment. I came back again with the same shortness of breath problem and she took me to a Ear nose and throat specialist. She said she didn’t notice anything unusual.
The SOB thing had calmed down and for almost a full week I had no attacks at all. Then suddenly it started again and the ear nose and throat specialist, after looking at an ex ray of my face, diagnosed me with maxillary sinusitis and prescribed antibiotics again.
The SoB is still there and I’m scarred. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Could it take this long to recover from that lung infection?
Best answer:
Answer by detta we may have something similar, been on antibiotics now since 9/28, for bronchitis, sinusitis, got the shortness of breath right after being on the antibiotics for 3 days, was wondering if there was something regarding the antibiotic that is causing the shortness of breath, perhaps an unlisted chemical in the coating of the meds. Doc said no. Put me on prednisone which seemed to open up the breathing passages in my lungs, now weaning me off of the prednisone. Also started taking Mucinex DM again, the regular one only 2 times a day.
very scary not being able to get in that breath, have you been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, asthma? These are classified now in the COPD department, Congestive Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, which is what I have.
Ask one of your doctors to schedule you for a Pulmonary Function test to find out if you are breathing at your full capacity, think that is where I would start if I were you.
Also, to try to help your breathing, try inhaling (just smelling it) Vicks Vaporub, don’t get it in your nose tho, just sniff it into each nostril several times a day and see if that helps you, it seems to help me. Good luck, hope there is nothing bad wrong with you and this illness clears up for you real soon.
