Strep Throat, On Teva-amoxicillin And Florastor. Any Effect On Erection And Numbness In Groin?

my husband is on TEVA-amoxicillin 500mg. he's taking 1000mg 3 times a day and also taking florastor with it every dosage. Can this effect the ability to have an erection and to almost feel numb in the "lower region"? He has strep throat and has already been on the antibiotic for 7 out of the 10 days. He noticed this problem after the 3rd day or so

hello there..
welcome to healthcaremagic..

wel as you husband is having streptococcal sore throat the medicines given to him are proper and appropriate.. tevaamoxicillin is an antibiotic which may rarely cause these symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhoea, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, swollen tongue.. but it will not affect erection or numbness of genital region.. the other drug florastor is a probiotic and doesnt cause any sideeffect, it is similar to yoghurt and infact reduces the chances of diarrhoea and other sideeffects..
so there wil not be any such sideeffects by the drugs which your husband is taking.. plz advice him to continue and complete the course of antibiotic...

as far as problem in erection and decreased sensation of genital region is concerned he should be consulted and counselled to find out the exact reason..
so i advive him to get consulted and counselled soon.. dont worry any disease or condition causing that wil be easily treatable..

well i hope this solves ur query..
wish u and ur husband a healthy life ahead..
thanks and take care..
