Penicillin actually kills the bacteria. Your body does a good job of killing bacteria on its own, or letting a virus run its course (if it is a virus), and other meds you might take will relieve the symptoms while your body does its job. If the bacteria is too strong then your doc will prescribe penicillin or another antibiotic to knock out the miroorganizms.
You might have the flu or a really bad cold. Drink lots of water, cold or warm. Drink hot tea and soup. Since you can't eat, drink chicken broth to get the nutrients. Does your doc know how awful you're feeling? Maybe your doc can bump up your appointment?
I hope you feel better.
You sound miserable. Sorry. Sounds like the flu! White stuff on your tongue is probably normal. When you don't drink well, the normal bacteria and secretions make your tongue yucky and breath terrible. Tylenol or Motrin are probably the best choices. Drink lots of water, warm or cold. And you should probably see your doc before Friday. If the flu is diagnosed in the first 48 hours, it can be treated with antiviral meds like Tamiflu.
ring your gp and get an appointment for today white tonge sounds like thrush but i only thought babies got that i could be wrong but ring your gp and get yourself sorted
we are not doctors. we cannot diagnose your illness. your meds aren't working because you might not need whatever it is you're taking. or it could be because your meds are out of date. penicillin is for infections. talk to your doctor. we can't really help you.
sounds like a bad cold or flu.
Theres not a lot you can do as there is no cure for cold and flu, it will go away on its own.
Medicine can only relieve the symptoms, it will not make them disappear.
oh honey poor you i woke up like this last Monday could not move my head everything hurt even down to the tongue all my symptoms are the same as you, not sure if it was a really bad head cold or the flu but i am voting for the flu, it does not matter if it is a cold or flu antibiotics will not work and this virus, but if you get the sore throat you may be able to get antibiotics to help with that, the best thing i can advise is to rest and sleep and keep drinking lots of fluids. as for eating it will come back, i was taking the beechams cold and fly tablets and these seemed to help better than Lem sips, for the cough i got some medicine called Actifed, it really cleared my nose and helped get a good nights sleep but you can not take any thing else with it except paracetamol, it is just over a week and now i am feeling a lot better but still tired, i know how you feel it is one of the not nice bugs going around Britain at the moment, i hope you feel better soon, keep warm drink loads and try to rest as much as possible and you will feel better in know time.
penicillin is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. hope you feel better soon.
