Male, 24, 165lb My back tooth filling fell out a few years ago and recently it started to abscess a bit so it’s for sure infected. I know this type of stuff is really dangerous and can spread to your brain and your heart. I would like to know if I should go to a grocery store pharmacy and get the f

I am 5' 11" 200lbs, white. I do not drink or smoke. I occasionally have edibles. ​ This has been happening for so long and I've been told, or had it insinuated, that this is in my head so much that I'm reluctant to continue pursuing trying to get better, but this is going to be my last sh

**A recent rant post triggered me into writing my own. Skip it if you want to avoid suffocating negativity.** "Pharmacists are the most accessible Healthcare Professionals!" was a mantra regurgitated towards me with glee all throughout college (which was over 15 years ago, for me).

What the title says, essentially. For some context, I'm 23 years old, afab, about 5'3" and I'm guessing around 136 lbs. I started taking Prednisone after an infection in my face from an abscess tooth reappeared. I was on Clindamycin originally, but I wasn't told to finish the entire bottle (or

**UPDATE - It's 100% Impetigo. His spots started drying up and flaking off on day 3. This morning - day 5 of antibiotics & prednisone - the oldest spots are starting to disappear and the newest ones are starting to shed and go through the same process as the oldest ones. Thank you to everyone wh

I'm a dentist and actually have a specific question, but I figured there are probably a lot of questions I don't even know to ask, so fire away!

We get another rx for azithro now but this time the mom says she thinks that the rash that time was due to taking tylenol, and wants to take the az

It smells like stinky feet and vomit mixed together, who formulated that and decided that was okay? Did you do a focus group, because no one will take that stuff. Also you can FlavorX that stuff, but it can only do so much.

I’ll try to keep it short. Patient comes in from ER with script for Norco and Clindamycin. Clindamycin comes out to be $29 and Norco $5. Patient says he cannot afford the antibiotic.
