Which Drug for UTIs is better Levaquin or Bactrim?


Which drug for UTI’s is better or would you rather feel safer taking. 250mg of Levaquin or Bactrim. The doctor at first prescribed me levaquin but that stuff is really exspensive since i have no insurance or bactrim which is free. I’ll pay for the other one if I have to but I would like someone elses opinion on which is safer.

Can you mix alcohol with the antibiotic Bactrim?


I know some people will say “it may decrease the effectiveness of the antibiotic” but thats BS I want an answer. I got the antibiotic for strep throat on Monday and tomorrow (Friday–4th of July!) I plan to drink. I don’t plan on drinking until I black out, but I do plan on drinking more than one. Is that safe?

I took my son to the doctor Monday and Dr. gave him Bactrim for cold and double ear infection?


So he has been on the anti-biotic for about 2 days now but he still is getting a fever if I don’t give him the Children’s Advil every 8 hours. I am wondering if Bactrim is the right anti-biotic for him to take for his ear infection and cold. If he is still running the fever in the morning should I take him back to the doctor even though hes on anti-biotic. I think a fever for 2 days straight is a little much for a 18 month old
