Will tetracycline (doxycycline) fight a sinus infection?
cant get a doctors appointment until at least tomorrow to get amoxicillin and i feel like i'm dying. i've got a perscription for doxy thtat i haven't gotten in about 8 months, but i still have an Rx on file for it. as an antibiotic, will it kill whatever is givin me the sinus infection or is it not specialized enough? i mean, jeez.. it kills anthrax :\
thanks!
when levothyroxine tablets are given?
Answer:
Do go to an urgent care. Sinus infections can get more serious. I assume you have yellowish drainage? Sinus infections are usually gram positive bacteria. The amoxicillin is for that. Tetracycline is not meant for gram positive. A Rx that is 8 months old may ot be able to be filled. If you are seeing a doctor soon you do not want to start on an antibiotic unless you call and the doctor calls one in.
I have this red blotches and bumps around my lips...help?
Then go to an urgent care. No, Tetracycline is not meant for sinus infections. Antibiotics better for that include Zythromycin, Cephalosporin, Bactrim DS, Keflex. Not Tetracycline.
NO!
