I have acute blepharitis in my left eye, likely due to windy conditions, dust, and rubbing. I started erythromycin ophthalmic ointment 0.5% on 4/9 and, due to worsening symptoms, amoxicillin 500mg orally three times a day today. I'm also using warm, moist compresses and dilute baby shampoo. Is there someone who can assess my condition online, and should I continue the current treatment regimen?

After prolonged use of Claritin, can you experience indigestion, chest pain, itching, burning, and head pressure? The chest pain started the second week of last month after taking Claritin since the end of June. The pain is described as dull most of time and sometimes sharp, with occasional chest tightness. The Claritin was initially taken due to a severe reaction to the contrast from an MRI.

I got my period 3/2 weeks ago, I took Plan B last week, and I have been bleeding since yesterday. Is that a side effect of the pill? How long does the bleeding last, and can Plan B affect the timing of my next period?
