I think i have an infection on my tonsils and i don't know what to take to treat them, im scare of drinking an antibiotic and get a bad reaction because of this medication, since im tapering it and there's a bunch of things we can't take, so what can i safely take to get rid of this bad infection?! i need help and is urgent. Is it safe to drink ginger while tapering mirtazapine? PLZ LEAVE HERE SUGGESTIONS THAT REALLY CAN HELP AND ARE SAFE!

THANKS ♥

    Hi, I'm on a low dose of mirtazapine, 7.5mg, andI have to take antibiotics as I am prone to getting chest infections. I haven't had any problems., . Just check with your GP or consultant to be sure.

    Hi there, have you tried a strong salt and warm water gargle, it does help and is natural. If you are in the uk ring your pharmasist at a chemist. Take a picture of your throat and send it to the Doctors. I hope you feel better soon. x

      Thank you and i'm doing that but it seems is not doing its job and i can't take antibiotics, my psychiatrist told me i cant because it can't interfere with mirtazapine, also, do you perhaps know if this medication can cause tonsils infection?

      Its not a side effect that I am aware of, having said that if your immune system is low then that is probably the cause. I hope you feel better soon.
