Windwaver Turbocharged October 8, 2020 Share October 8, 2020 Hi, I'm asking something a question with regards to medication, it'll be great if somebody can answer. Anti-Inflammatory drugs like Arcoxia (Etoricoxib), Celebrex (Celecoxib), etc do they treat infection as well? I'm asking because I thought Antibiotics are prescribed to treat infection while anti-inflammatory drugs are for inflammation? TIA! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysc3 Twincharged October 8, 2020 Share October 8, 2020 I bought arcoxia (120mg) as pain killers. But the one time I took it, I ended up feeling very very cold ... Like fever cold ... Gotta wrap up in blankets and still shivering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic October 8, 2020 Share October 8, 2020 I take anti inflammatory drugs sometimes. I think it reduces the swelling only, like sore throat (very effective) or muscle/joint inflammation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic October 8, 2020 Share October 8, 2020 (edited) You guys got listen to your doctor when he explain what he's going to prescribe for your condition or your child's condition? Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial and viral infections. You have to finish all of them prescribed to you. Anti-inflammation are used to treat "swelling" like sore throat. Stop when the swelling is gone. You all never bring your child see doctor and hear what the doctor say? Wtf siah. For doctors here, now you know ppl switch off when you are explaining things to them. You can save your breath and talk less. 😂 Do you bring your kids to see doctor in the first place? Or do you guys leave everything to your maid and wife? LoL... Fantastic father you are.

IIRC, antibiotic is for bacterial. Viral need other types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antibotic is for bacterial. While some antibiotics may have anti-inflammatory properties, best is to seek medical advice to use the correct drug.
