antibiotics?

Post by Leah »

Hi there. My daughter is now being treated for strep throat. Today, my throat is beginning to get sore. I will probably get swabbed tomorrow. if I do have it, what antibiotic would be safest? I know they like to prescribe penicillin for this one. Will it give me D? I haven't had to take one since I've been dx with MC.
Thanks

Leah,

Because of the risks of tendonitis and/or peripheral neuropathy associated with the fluoroquinolones, the safest option in your case (if your doctor will go for it) is azithromycin (Z-Pak).

Good luck with this.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
