Have Tonsillitis, Prescribed Penicillin, Chesty Cough, Ear Pain, Dizziness. How To Cure?
Hello, I have tonsilitus and have been prescribed penicillin , however I ve got a chesty cough , my ears keep hurting causing me to become dizzy at times. Do I need to go back and get something else? I m half way through my course and if anything I feel worse. She only assessed my throat and didn t give me the time to explain the problems with my ears and cough! Help!!!!!
hello, You might need some other antibiotic like levofloxacin etc. in addition you may require decongestants both oral and nasal. and antihistaminics. Ear nose and throat are all related because of the same kind of mucosa ie skin. So all need to be covered at once and problem at one organ leads to problem at other. The throat infection must be causing irritation and so the cough has come. Get an ENT consultation done and get yourself examined.
