Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doctor. I usually have strong bouts of allergy which includes itchy throat, runny nose and teary eyes. I usually take antihistamine once I start feeling the symptoms but sometimes it gets really terrible. I have been prescribed antibiotics in the past which worked. Is it safe to take Zinnat 500mg twice daily for 5 days as prescribed by my pharmacist? I have already taken 3 tablets between yesterday and today as I started taking the antibiotic yesterday morning.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, you have take antibiotics if allergy is supersaded by infection. For allergy you can take antihistaminics like tab. allegra after confirmation. For allergy, its always better to prevent that allergen. Take steam inhalation. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam B. Kale
