I'm wondering if it's okay to give ofloxacin oz for treating piles. The person I'm asking about is already on medication for hypertension. Can you advise me on this?

Using Ofloxacin OZ for Piles (Hemorrhoids)_ 1. _Not the first line of treatment_: Ofloxacin OZ is not typically used to treat piles. Hemorrhoids are usually managed with lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and topical treatments. 2. _Potential risks_: Using antibiotics like Ofloxacin OZ for piles may lead to unnecessary antibiotic exposure, increasing the risk of antibiotic resistance and side effects. _Interactions with Hypertension Medication_ 1. _Potential interactions_: Ofloxacin OZ may interact with certain hypertension medications, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or diuretics. 2. _Monitor blood pressure and adjust medication_: If Ofloxacin OZ is prescribed, your doctor should monitor your blood pressure and adjust your hypertension medication as needed.

Question

I've been dealing with really bad breath for a while now and just don't know what to do. My dentist checked and said there's nothing wrong with my mouth, but the bad breath is still there even after I brush. I brush three times a day, use mouthwash, and everything, but the smell just doesn't go away. It's super embarrassing when people keep their distance or cover their noses. Even when I'm a few meters away, they cover their mouths. It makes me feel so left out and embarrassed. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
