Health Queries

I was advised to start using Cifran CT Tablet for typhoid fever. Can I get a second opinion?

Dr. S Aneela

If you have any concerns about your prescribed treatment for typhoid fever, it is always wise to seek a second opinion. Cifran CT Tablet contains ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic commonly used for typhoid fever, and tinidazole, an antiprotozoal agent less widely used for this infection. Consulting another qualified doctor or an infectious disease specialist can help confirm whether this medication is appropriate for your condition.

My leukocyte count is 14,480 per cubic millimetre, and I have pain in my spine. Is Cifran CT Tablet safe and effective for my condition?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

A raised white cell count and spinal pain may suggest an infection, but Cifran CT Tablet (Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole) is only appropriate for certain bacterial or parasitic conditions. Only your doctor can determine if this medicine is safe and suitable for your condition. Please consult your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I have stomach upset and abdominal pain. Can you suggest an effective medicine? I previously used Eldoper and Cifran CT with limited relief.

Since you have tried Eldoper and Cifran CT with limited relief, it is best not to self-medicate further, as persistent stomach pain can have various causes. Please consult a doctor to identify the exact cause and get the right medicine. You can try light, easily digestible foods, plenty of fluids, and avoid spicy or oily meals for now.

I have a hole in a lower tooth causing severe pain for the last few days. I'm using Sensodyne, but it's not helping. I've been taking Cifran CT and Zerodol P but still have pain. What should I do?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

A hole in the tooth causing severe pain usually means there is tooth decay or infection that needs a dentist's attention. Sensodyne, Cifran CT, and Zerodol P may help temporarily with sensitivity or pain, but they won't fix the underlying problem. Please see a dentist for proper treatment. Meanwhile, you can rinse with warm salt water and avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods to reduce discomfort.
