calm the itching.

tồn tình trạng nhiễm trùng và có thể khiến VK kháng thuốc( khó tiêu diệt hơn).Ở một số
người,penicillin gây ra phản ứng dị ứng.Phản ứng dị ứng nhẹ bao gồm nổi mẩn ngứa
hoặc phát ban.Thường thì những triệu chứng này xuất hiện vài giờ hoặc vài ngày sau khi
dùng penicillin và có thể kéo dài vài ngày.Thuốc kháng histamin có thể giúp làm giảm
cơn ngứa.

sốt,sưng tấy và đau dây thần kinh.Nó cũng có thể gây đau,sưng bàn tay hoặc bàn chân

cấp cho những người xảy ra vấn đề khi thiếu nó.Các dấu hiệu bao gồm đau hoặc ngứa ran
ở bàn tay hoặc bàn chân, cơ co giật, căng thẳng và không thể ngủ được.
15. Streptomycin is an important medicine for treating tuberculosis. It should always be
used in combination with other medicines. Streptomycin and penicillin together can be
used to treat certain severe infection. However, the use of streptomycin for other than
tuberculosis should be very limited, because frequent use of streptomycin for other
illnesses helps make tuberculosis resistant to it, and therefore harder to treat.
-Steptomycin là một trong những thuốc quan trọng để điều trị bệnh lao.Nó ln ln
được sử dụng kết hợp với các loại thuốc khác.Kết hợp streptomicin và penicillin có thể
dùng để điều trị một số bệnh nhiễm trùng nặng.Tuy hiên,nên hạn chế việc sử dụng
streptomycin cho các bệnh khác ngồi bệnh lao,vì nếu sử dụng thường xuyên
streptomycin cho các bệnh khác sẽ làm bệnh lao kháng thuốc,và từ đó sẽ khó điều trị hơn.
