Hello,
I am in Turkey on holiday when I became ill with blocked up throat and nose also being sick just once ,but now I have a cough all the time and my ribs eel very sore, went to doctor at the main hospital and examined was told I have a allergy to the dust and heat, I have been given medication, amoksisilin+klavulanik asit,1000mg 2 aday, also antihistaminik i aday, also antitusif 3 aday, Please can you explain this medication and if it seem correct, Thank you Cathy
Seems like an example of bad polypharmacy: The first is a combination antibiotic to treat a bacterial infection (upper respiratory infections are more often caused by viruses than by bacteriae), then something to treat a presumed allergy (did you have that allergy before?) and something to calm your cough.
(sorry, hit enter too early): of course, no one can diagnose your problem from the distance without further information. Good luck!
Hi Martin, thank you for your reply , Yes you are correct, I am taking the medication but I have a very bad couch and worse at night and my throat get painful at times although I know all the dust is bad here and the heat is unbearable, so I have stayed at home for the last two day see if I get any better, I did not have a allergy before.
Thank you .
Back again, yes you are correct about Bad Polpypharmacy I have just looked on the internet to see what it ment and i was charged 112 Lr although I have bean on the medication for Two days I am not feeling very much better, so maybe it is a bit early yet. I will see how I feel today and will have to go back to the hospital ,the doctor from the hoapital said if I dont improve he might have to have a chest xray, which I wont have …I will have to put up with this until we get home to see my G.P .I have bean up alnight with my sore throat that is why I have sent these messages so early.
Thanks Cathy
Thank you for sharing this, it’s useful information.
thanks for sharing this great information about health,it help me alot.
that’s alot of info inside the doc,thanks for it.
Thank you for sharing its a worth while to read.I must say, as significantly as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldn’t help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a wonderful grasp around the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from far more than one angle. Or maybe you shouldn’t generalize so substantially. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think of about adjusting your own thought process and giving others who may read the benefit of the doubt.
thanks for the answering.i’m always looking for the answer,finally i found it here.Thanks.
We absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome website!
