morbid: U shud av sued the doctor for malpractice!!! Are u kidding me;wot kind of doctor was that?? What was even the indication for the quinine in the first place It's not like quinine has a popular use in modern day medicine except in few cases in Paediatrics and Obstetrics. All these still happen in this part of the world coz Nigerians are not yet litigious. It'z well dear.
Thanks. I have lived life just like that. You talk about sue? I was a kid then. God is great... Because this, my phone is always on vibration and not ringtones and I always keep it close to me... else, if u call, I wont hear. When chicks cry, I don't hear. But that wasnt the case before the incident.

proffmanue: I had a terrible typhoid fever in 2008, I was hospitalized in a private clinic. The Doctor said I was not responding to treatment, I could not walk by myself without support. I don't know the drugs I was treated with but I survived. After 2 days of my discharge from the hospital, my ears were ringing, eventually my left ear could not hear again till date.
Does anyone have idea what drug could have done this and if it could be reversed? Thks
That's quinine... same thing happened to me. I doubt you can get a reversal. My right ear was affected.

Okay. If that will solve the problem, you can give it a try. Funny enough, i have not done any research online about possible reversal.

Just as I guessed!


Novalgin is a sulphur-containing drug. The active ingredient is metamizole which contains sulphur in its structure.

Sulphur attacks the skin of beautiful lipsrsealed grin girls... though not always but it could spoil a special party or date when you least expect.
It is not uncommon in ladies.

It is like 'someone' is swallowing sulphur. And from the old anglo-saxon era, sulphur is not good for the ladies.

Basically, you might want to inform whoever wants to treat you at any time about your skin reaction to sulphur-containing drugs and you'll be given remedy or alternatives. smiley smiley
That of Novalgin was just a warning indication.

Tylenol is your normal 'paracetamol'. It is rare for paracetamol (acetaminophen) to cause such rashes. It must have been the codiene content or so. I don't know much about codiene. undecided undecided


'Cipro-something like that' has always been like 'that'. grin grin grin

So which alternative do you use?

eleojo23: Drugs are taken primarily to alleviate or cure illnesses. Most of the time, these drugs come with unpleasant side-effects after administration.
In my childhood years, chloroquine was my nightmare because of the terrible itching it gave me. I took procold sometime in 2009 and it caused me serious stomach disturbance.
There are some persons who react to sulphur-containing drugs.

Feel free to share the unpleasant drug side-effects you've experienced in the course of treating an illness.
antibiotics. Your sweat and piss has that irritating smell

I didn't even know it was sulphur allergies until now.
I don't do anything now, other than take 3tabs of M&B paracetamol rather than 2.

As for the Novalgin, my dad has given forbidden me from taking any drugs without telling him grin

Is it normal for Piriton to make someone extremely dizzy?

That Cipro-something like that keeps me awake for days. Na me dey handle nightwatch duties when I get typhoid.

Notice I get rashes when i go to my aunts house too. Suspect the water....do those have sulphur too?

smiley The Cipro- something is Ciprifloxacin.

No. Ciprofloxacin is not a sulpha drug; it is a broad spectrum antibiotic used in the treatment of a number of
infections, including respiratory tract infections (RTI's), sinus infections, typhoid fever,urinary tract infections (UTI's), etc

It can induce insomnia (sleeplessness), a condition termed Cipro-induced insomnia.
That should explain your night watches. smiley

lastchild: 2nd march 2006, the day I died and woke up, I was sick,went to a pharmacy to get some drugs, the experienced attendant was eating,he instructed one foolish guy to attend to me,I never knew the guy knew nothing,he issued me some drugs,I paid, went home and swallow them

Few minutes later, my mouth started opening on its own without my permission,I struggled closing it,next come my tongue,next my head started turning back,luckily for me mom was around,she shouted and people came for help, before I could be rushed to hospital I've already entered coma, I woke up the next day, I've regain my self but my vision became double,doctor said it was going to subside which happened after days

the pharmacist,both the one who issued drug and the one who instructed him spent good one week in police cell, the pharmaceutical store got closed down for sometime

It was an unforgettable experience






rather hillarious...sorry homie.


u never mentioned the name of the drug though
