I'm also suffering from geen vaginal discharge from last 1 month and for that doctor has now prescribed me cefixime 200. Is it okay to take both antibiotics? Or should I stop nitrofur for 3 days?

Zifi 200 (assuming you mean cefixime 200 mg) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. It's possible that your symptoms improved because of the antibiotic, but it's concerning that you still have some pain and redness. Since you've already seen a doctor and taken a course of antibiotics, it would be best to follow up with them to discuss your ongoing symptoms. They may need to perform additional tests or examinations to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. It's important not to delay seeking medical advice when experiencing persistent symptoms.

Ibs can be treated very well with homeopathic medicines. Taking antibiotics will not work since they destroy the natural bacteria present in the intestine that are necessary to digest food well. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics will make the problem worse. Homeopathy can solve the problem and give you better digestion.

Is one antibiotic - cefixime enough to cure typhoid infection or there is a need of double antibiotics in typhoid?

if the typhoid bacteria is sensitive then one is enough. in case it is resistant strain then other antibiotics may be needed.

Can an anal tag increase if mistreated with external piles treatment? There was no pain no bleeding no constipation just itching 3 times in 1 year and it was just a small inflammation like rubber I used to clean anus with dettol wash because I was involved in high physical activity that caused sweating in summers so I thought it may cause infection so I used dettol wash and when it wasn't going so I became worried and consulted doctor she gave me dermikem oc max ointment and ofloxacin 200 mg tablets for 3 days (6 tablets) and continue using dermikem oc max it was getting fine but completely fine after 10 days when I consulted her again she gave me more 6 tablets for 3 days but it became different dark and ball shape and consulted doctor again then she said it's external piles and gave anovate ointment, metrogyl and pilon tablets for 5 days then consulted after 5 days it was getting dried she stopped metrogyl tablets and started cefixime tablets after 3-4 days that. Became more worst a big red hard bump (so painful irritating) I consulted her then she said I must have eaten something like ginger onion garlic but I didn't no outside spicy food and gave pilex tablets by himalaya and smuth ointment that hard bump have gone in 10 days but my anal swelling condition is still bigger than I first consulted her and after after 10 days I started getting white discharge from vagina and swelling in vulva I never experienced this before I keep myself clean no poor hygiene I think so much medicines caused me this yeast infection good bacteria has been killed by antibiotics now yeast infection is fine after 15 days but allot of medicines caused my boweling movement on alternate days even when i'm taking 2-3 fruits daily and drinking 12-13 glass of water and no junk or spicy food. And that bump is still bigger than I first consulted her. Please provide more information she's a bams doctor if I should consult somewhere else please suggest what kinda doctor. I'm seriously messed i've spend alot but still problem is not gone I really can't afford so much expenses and after applying aloe of ointment I guess my anus area skin is getting dark and damaged i'm not sure but I think because it's not same like before. Please help.

1. Take home cooked, fresh light food. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 2. Increasing the fibre in your diet is known to be as effective as injections for preventing further problems 3. Increasing your fluid intake which can help prevent further problems with haemorrhoids 4. Avoiding straining and constipation which is the most useful thing patients can do to prevent the problem coming back. If the fibre content of your diet is not sufficient to keep your stools soft, then a fibre supplement can help. 5. Maintain active life style 6. Curd is good for u. 7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods Homeopathy has very encouraging results. Consult online with details

Do not worry. The dose is 10 mg/kg/day and you have given 20 mg so it will not harm but it is better to be avoided below 6 months. And antibiotics are not required without valid reason.

Taxim contains cefixime which is not a good choice for skin infections. Ideally culture and sensitivity of the pus should determine the choice of antibiotic. You must visit a registered dermatologist in your area who will ascertain the diagnosis and treat emperically based on local bacterial resistance pattern till culture reports ate available.
