I Have A Sore Throat And Ear Problem
I have a sore throat and ear problem that is messing with my jaw and temple on the left side and it has been going on for about a week and a half. I have an atibiotic left over from a previos cold and was wondering if I could just take that instead of seeing a physician because i just got off my moms insurance. the antibiotic is a generic for ciproflax

Prescription drugs without examination by a Physician is not recommended. Without a proper recomended dose,antibiotics can develop rapid tolerance. plus different antibiotics are used against various organisms.In order to know that, one should know what he/she is suffering from.
