Re: different medications

It depends on what the Antibiotic is and also the type of Anti-inflammatory you decide you take. In addition, I would need to know which pain killer you are taking for your cold symptoms.

Certain NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) should not or is not recommended to be taking with a few selective antibiotics. Will need specific names of the medications.

And as far as my concern with the other current pain killer for cold symptom combined with potentially a new pain killer if needed is the potential for the combined doses on both of them to be at an additive level, leading to a greater dosage than what it recommended; there's always a certain up limit dose per any medication. So again, need specific names of medications.

Plus, are you taking any other medications (i.e. oral contraceptives, anti-diabetic, blood pressure medication, etc, etc, etc). Always concerned about drug interactions. Sometimes doctors may not be aware of what other medications the patient may be taking.

Maybe I should have worded it differently. You are right, taking the extra pain killers will definitely help with the pain (and I'm glad they're helping), but I'm more concerned about the Antibiotics going to toxic or worst yet ineffective levels.
