I've got a throat infection, and I'm wondering if azibact and cepodem have the same ingredients. Is it safe to switch from one to the other, especially if I'm dealing with something like follicular tonsillitis?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Azibact contains Azithromycin, while Cepodem contains Cefpodoxime. They belong to different classes of antibiotics and have different compositions. For throat infection or follicular tonsillitis, Azithromycin (Azibact) is commonly used. Cefpodoxime (Cepodem) may also be effective for these conditions, but it is not typically the first choice. It is important to follow the specific dosage and duration as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I have a DNS issue with an overgrown septum and outer bone. My doctor recommended septoplasty first and then plastic surgery on the outer nose later, but I've heard about septorhinoplasty where both are done together. Is that really an option? Would it be better to combine them or do them separately?
Your doctor's recommendation to address the deviated nasal septum (DNS) with septoplasty first, followed by rhinoplasty (plastic surgery of the outer nose), is a common approach.

My 3-year-old has frequent swelling and infections in the neck area from adenoid issues, along with constant high fever and runny nose. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the adenoids, but we're hesitant because of his age. Are there other options we can try first?
Yes, there are often alternative approaches to address adenoid issues in young children before considering surgery. Instead of immediate removal, your doctor might recommend a course of antibiotics to address any bacterial infections, along with nasal sprays to reduce swelling. If the adenoids are not causing significant breathing difficulties or infections, they can be monitored to see if they shrink naturally as the child grows older
