Can I drink alcohol with Cefpodoxime for a kidney infection? Will this antibiotic impact the effectiveness of my birth control (Nuvaring)? Can I still exercise while battling the kidney infection?

I had a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Complete Blood Count (CBC), and urinalysis. The results showed abnormalities. I was recently diagnosed with a UTI and am concerned about the other test results. I still don't feel well. What could be causing these abnormalities and what should I do?

I was diagnosed with a double middle ear infection and prescribed KLACID as an antibiotic, but after 7 days, I haven't seen any improvement. I'm experiencing dizziness, headaches (which feel like migraines), tender jaw pain, and heavy pressure in my ears. I've tried ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Benadryl, but none have helped. I'm supposed to see an ENT tomorrow. Should I be concerned, and is it normal for symptoms to persist this long?
