Potassium Clavulanate Health Feed

Asked for male, 69 years old from Hyderabad

I am a 70 year old man and a COPD patient. I am a smoker by habit. I am diabetic and have high BP but I keep them under control with regular medication. I try to maintain good health by going for morning walk for half an hour and by doing some breathing exercises like PRANAYAMA and others everyday. A week ago I had developed severe throat infection and on doctor's advice I have been using CLAVAM 625 (Amoxicillin and Potassium Clavulanate Tablets) for the past 7 days. Though I am relieved of infectious cough, I am unable to clear the phlegm, which I feel stuck to the walls of diaphragm and while clearing it I get convulsions in the body and feel suffocated and feel like going into unconsciousness which I try to control it with great difficulty. I was also prescribed with apple - N Tablets which I am using it, one at night, but to no avail. Will you please suggest me some good medicine to purge the phlegm from my system. This complaint has been existing in me, since long, regardless whether I have throat infection or not. I want your help Doctor.

Asked for Female, 24 years old from Mangalore

I had urine infection for an entire month during our fasting month RAMZAN. I tried treating it a lot and visited many doctors. and then I came across this doctor who gave me suggestion of urine culture so that he came to know the antibiotics I am susceptible too. Later I did an antibiotic course of AUGMENTIN DUO 250 for 14 days which did not work. Later I had to get a cannula and started the injections of AMIKACIN 500 mg twice a day . And its fourth day today. And I feel too weak and get headaches also fever sometimes. Not very high fever yes but a mild fever for some time. Now can anybody please suggest me what am I supposed to do? Because I am seriously very tired of medicines and visiting doctors. I still have cannula on my hand so it would be helpful if you guide me with your expertise.

Asked for male, 38 years old from Gurgaon

I made a stupid mistake. Last month I was treated for uti (had nausea, lack of appetite, low grade fever, bitter taste, even though my urine culture came negative. I had given the sample after starting on antibiotics.) nevertheless, the treatment worked and symptoms subsided. Unfortunately, I stopped antibiotics as soon as I got my culture report (just 6 single doses later, while my doctor had prescribed a 10 day course with double dose). Now some of my symptoms are back (bitter taste, and an additional symptom- blood in urine only once.) but most symptoms are milder than before. Should I complete the remaining course of antibiotics or should I start the course from beginning? I took augmentin 625 duo last time. How long should I take it?

Incomplete course of antibiotics in case of uti can result not only in recurrence of the condition but also there is chance of developement of resistance to previous medications. It would be better to go for another culture sensitivity test before starting any medicines if last dose of antibiotic was taken 10-15 days before. Thank you.
