Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Pain After Taking Macrobid
Question: I took macrobid a week ago and I had muscle pain.. shoulders , throat and neck... Dr said stop it and I did, but still muscle pain, how can a I treat it?
Brief Answer:
It will fade away gradually!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
Unfortunately, side effects do not stop as soon as the drug causing them is discontinued. It generally takes some time before it wears out (several days to even weeks). Unless the symptoms fail to regress or are getting worse, monitoring is the preferred approach. No other medications would be prescribed to undo this in this scenario.
so, I'd suggest that you wait expectantly as long as the symptoms are regressing, even slowly and they are not getting worse(most importantly).
If I may ask, how bad is this pain? Is it so bad that it might prevent you from doing daily activities?
I wish you well and hope to hear back from you soon!
Awaiting...
