Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain While On TheraFlu For Cold
Question: I have been taking Mucinex and TheraFlu for a cold. I have a sinus infection as well and started taking Sulphamexazole TMP as an antibiotic. I took it at 11 am and now at 11 pm have have bad abdominal pain. Im not going to take anymore of it. Is it ok to tame Morphine Sulphate now?
Brief Answer:
Morphine very strong medication, better take buscopan or paracetamol/ibuprofene.
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
Since Morphine is a very strong pain medicine, I would usually rather suggest buscopan or paracetamol to take first. But in theory the morphine is ok after sulphameth.
Also:
Better antibiotic for sinus infection is amoxicillin or azithromycin for the future. But often Sinus infection will get better through xylometazoline nose spray, cortisone nose spray, inhaling and nasal douche. Morphine is an overtherapy and may make dryness in nose worse.
Best regards
