Help! Antibiotic Question

Hi T.,

The reason you don't stop an antibiotic is because it will not be effective/guaranteed? unless all the doses are taken. I'd recommend investigating colloidal silver instead of synthetic antibiotics. We don't use antibiotics unless there is no other way. My 92 year old bedridden father, on a feeding tube, has had pneumonia several times in the last few years from aspirating fluid. We have only resorted to antibiotics once when the Nursing Home threatened to throw him out if he didn't follow the doctors instructions. Every other time the collodial silver got rid of the pneumonia. There are no side effects that are known. There have been a few instances where a someone has turned blue from extreme overuse of silver. It is not meant to be a preventative measure and shouldn't be taken everyday.

Someone at the health store should be able to help you with more info and give you dosing advice if you decide to go that route. Silver also doesn't cause candida like antibiotics do.

God bless,

M.

My hubby is a pharmacist and he said to make sure you're giving him the augmenten with a full meal 2x/day. If he continues to throw it up after you've done that then call your doctor. Also, the reason why you are supposed to continue antibiotics is not b/c it isn't "guaranteed", drugs are never guaranteed to work, it's b/c your body will become resistant to them and see them as a foreign body if you suddenly stop a round of antibiotics before it's time. Creating resistant bacteria is a global health issue and should be avoided at all costs, not to sound extreme, but it's a real thing! You can spread your resistant bacteria to other people and the cycle continues so that certain drugs have the potential to stop working all together on certain types of infections.

If it's been 8-12 hours since the last dose, go ahead and do it. Throwing up on Augmenten is fairly common b/c it has something in it that makes tummies upset. I'm sure he'll be fine with a little food, if not call the doc!

I would talk to your dr again and definitely talk to the pharmacist, they would know all the symptoms and possible drug interactions.

Colloidal silver is NOT poison. The most that would happen is that a person would get argyria and that is due to the silver particle being too large and accumulating. Some homemade production processes are not great, but if you can find a good company that has silver solution at 14 ppm, that is alright. I put this in my son's ears. Why do you think the elite used to eat off silverware? Even hospitals use colloidal silver in their burn units. They wouldn't do that if it was poison. Some don't like to use it and it is a personal decision, one I made after a lot of research.

If you son's ear aren't draining good, he might be allergic to something causing the excess liquid.

Massage the area around the ears with a little tea tree oil and lotion to help relieve pressure. He may have just tossed cause the pressure from his ears, I used to do that. Lavender oil is helpful as well. You might also try a chamomile steam as well.

I think this is the perfect question for your doctor's office! I believe the theory is that a course of antibiotics should be continued for its duration to make sure the bacteria doesn't just become asymptomatic and then resurface. However, no doctor would force a patient to continue on a medication which is giving them trouble, that would be remiss.

Also wondering, did your son take it on a full or empty stomach? My experience with antibiotics is that at least a few crackers or a modest meal can help our stomachs better tolerate them. Of course, your son isn't going to want to try anything that made him sick twice, so if your pedicatrician changes the prescription, be sure to ask them to make it a *different flavor*, too. (and if it's penicillin based, they might choose to use a sulfa-based med the next time. I found I tolerated them better, but still need to eat a good meal with them).

Make sure you follow the instructions given by the pharmacist. For instance, some antibiotics need to be taken with food in the stomach, some an hour before eating, some with no milk products, etc.
Antibiotics often upset my stomach so it's a pain in the rump, but if I have to take 4 pills a day, I take 1/2 a pill at a time 8 times a day. That keeps them in my system.
The thing about antibiotics is that your body needs the full treatment at regular intervals. Some people begin to feel better after a couple of days and assume they don't need to take them anymore. You really need the full course for them to be effective and for the infection to get knocked out. There have been a few times where I actually needed two courses of antibiotics immediately back to back to get rid of a really bad sinus infection.
Try another dose of antibiotics in the morning and if your son vomits again, call the doctor to see if there is something he may tolerate better or in a different form.
I just had to get antibiotics and the doctor said they should be taken on an empty stomach, but if they make me sick, to go ahead and eat with them. They say empty stomach because it gives them a chance to absorb better in a more concentrated way.
As for no dairy, it's not a drug interaction thing, dairy renders them less effective.

I really hope your little guy starts feeling better soon.

You need to call the doctors office in the morning. The doctor gave me some antibiotics about a year ago and I threw up every 5 minutes for a whole day until it was out of my system... no exaggeration.
However, some of them will make you nauseated. So it is just best to talk with your doctor.

I would call the Dr.'s office or a pharmacist to ask.
