Dr Harsha MV

Continuing on the previous query about taking cefpodoxime along with acyclovir. 1. No there is no previous history of AKI. 2. I had checked my KFT last in January it was normal. 3. I was worried as previously have a history of frequent urination without any concrete diagnosis. Usg was normal except it showed one side ectopic malrotated kidney in pelvic brim. Urine routine and culture were also normal. Prostatitis however was there probably as per urologist(usg was clear tho). Please let me know if i should go ahead with cefpodem xp.

Safe to take antibiotics and antivirals?

I have chickenpox and on day 4/7 of valcyclovir 3times a day(3gm total) and drinking a lot of water. Thankfully there has not been any side effects. I am urinating normally and always keeping my urine clear coloured. However recently i saw i got bacterial infection on my face, for which doctor said it might be staph so he gave cefpodoxime for 3 days 2x a day along with mupirocin ointment. My question is, as i am a little concerned about kidney and heard antivirals can put a lot of pressure on kidneys, i am scared if taking antibiotics will cause AKI or kidney issues. But at the same time i am afraid what if this infection increases, as its newr my eyebrows. Please guide me doctors. Thank you Attaching the infection image. Please guide me if i can take them alongside.
