Avatar f tn Different antibiotics cause different side effects. You should talk to your doctor about the antibiotic you took then vs the one you may take now. We can't tell you not to take medications your doctor has prescribed. Even if there wasn't any bacteria found in the abscess itself, the antibiotic can help prevent infection from the procedure. But you have real concerns, so talk to your doctor. That's what they're there for.
Avatar n tn With the appendix rupture and abscess, you've had an awful lot of infection turned loose on your insides. That causes inflammation of the surrounding tissues. One result of that inflammation comes from the body's natural ability to try to heal and protect itself by growing scar tissue in the inflamed areas. Get enough scar tissue (adhesions) on your intestines, and you end up with the symptoms you describe.
Avatar f tn Mine itches when it's starting to heal, yes it is so annoying! I have never let an abscess drain on its own. Veronica, how many abscesses have you had? So far I've had 5 incised & drained. I see another one wanting to forming but I think I'm going to use the clay on it, so far I've tried the clay twice and only for 10-20 minutes. I just don't want them to burst open. Maybe yours itches before it opens cause the skin is dry and cracking?
Avatar f tn Your doctor seems to be very good. He is making sure that you do not have any open sores, or infection before starting remicade. I was on remicade before a fistula and my chrons caused me to have bowel resection. If it had not been for the fistula I would have continued on remicade. It was a wonder drug for me and I was feeling much much better. I was at the bottom when I started it and truly believe I would have been in the hospital within weeks if I had not started the remicade.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your comments.. Yes, I did finally make it in to the ER.. Turns out it was a Skin Infection.
1511025 tn?1290133257 It can be painful at times, but mostly just uncomfortable. Sitting is uncomfortable, laying on my stomach is impossible. I have to lay on my right side most of the time to relieve the discomfort. Bowel movements are regular. No diarrhea. Sometimes the BM's are small and round which I know can signal constipation, but I don't have difficulty passing them and sometimes go twice a day. I have had an abdominal ultrasound and it came back clear.
Avatar n tn My 9 year old had a Appendectomy a month ago and after a week in the hospital he's still not having much physical activity and still reating for the most part. This morning he started having a bad stomach ache and it's been off and on all day. Could this have anything to do with his Appendcitus?
Avatar f tn Pain in the upper left abdomen and chest area can be due to stomach issues (GERD or hiatal hernia), spleen issues, due to an abscess below the left diaphragm, a hematoma (localized collection of blood), an abscess, or a muscle pull (as it happened while playing). Ultrasound would have ruled out spleen problems and an abscess below the left diaphragm. A CT scan would be more diagnostic. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar f tn , but definitely wash your hands with warm water and soap after touching it! Transmission of germs from an abscess can cause stomach bugs if you were to touch your mouth afterwards, or prepare food, etc.
Avatar n tn i am just suggesting here. see a doctor to know whats going on your body. after i that pain occurs with me, i let my doctor checked me right away, and it came out that im having a UTI but in mild case. so i get well just for a couple of days. don't make the situation worst. Go to doctor ASAP.
Avatar f tn Hi, I bet that if you keep your cat's nails trimmed that might help with the "anal abscess". By the way, I've never heard of that before. Your vet said he was scratching at his booty area, and that's what caused it? Well, you sound like a good mom that cares about your kitty!! By the way, it sounds like everyone's vet bills are better than mine-I am jealous!!
Avatar n tn Pain in the left chest area can be due to stomach issues (GERD or hiatal hernia), spleen issues, due to an abscess below the left diaphragm, a hematoma (localized collection of blood), an abscess, or a muscle pull. Pain under left ribs is often due to acidity with gastric reflux or hiatal hernia. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food.

Raise head end of bed.
Avatar m tn 8 weeks ago I felt like I had a bad case of gas and my stomach was bothersome. I developed a fever and more abdominal pain so I went to see a doctor. While I was lying down he touched different areas to see if it was an appendicitis and had me jump up and down to see if I was in any pain, I was not any more pain then I was already in.
Avatar n tn Do you have a family doctor (PCP), or a medical walk-in clinic that your husband can visit? Maybe he/she can order blood or urine tests to be done. Has he been taking prescription or over the counter drugs that may have had an adverse reaction to his system? If he has, perhaps you should call Poison Control (found in the phone book, page 1) to see if they can help or advise you better. I would even suggest demanding to have tests done. No one knows our bodies better than ourselves, afterall.
447063 tn?1316560930 Been to the hospital With Bloating, Sore Stomach, And Severe Stomach Pain Left Side Behind Rib Cage. The only thing that came up was transcending colon left side was slightly swollen. They put me on Flagyl and it didn't work. Dr. said it wasn't Colitis. Did Upper GI didn't see anything, did biopsy and I am waiting on results. Could it be Gastritis? It is a constant pressure under left rib case and the pain is horrible.
Avatar f tn Hello, The various possibilities which present with such pain in the abdomen are appendicitis, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, bowel obstruction, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease,irritable bowel syndrome , kidney obstruction or pyelonephritis, psoas abscess and volvolus (twisting of the sigmoid part of the large bowel on itself). Investigations like ultrasound abdomen, CT abdomen and colonoscopy are required to confirm a diagnosis.
Avatar m tn Hi, my age is 28 years. I had liver abscess last year. i hav taken proper treatment of Liver Abscess. It was Amoebic LA. But i dont feel well after one year also. I left my job also because of this disease. I am not doing anything because i am not feeling well right now after completion of one year also. I am experience pain in all parts of body after liver ascess treatment. The pain at liver side is decreased somewhat. I want to know when it will be completely cured? When i will be feel better?
Avatar m tn He injected it with cortisone right about the same time my stomach began burning…probably releasing the abscess toxins in to my blood stream. The abscess was there long before my encounter. I have seen SO MANY doctors and you two are the only ones that seem to have the capacity to paint a clear picture. In lieu of the Chron’s disease and its autoimmune nature, my General practitioner wants me to continue HIV tests beyond 6 months to a year.
Avatar f tn As Margot said, it may be a cyst or abscess. I don't know where you live, or what diseases are present in your area, but if it is a cyst or abscess, then it isn't contagious. But do be careful to wash your hands with hot water and soap after handling it ir bathing the wound, etc, as sometimes infections like this can cause stomach upsets, if the bacteria are transferred to your mouth or food etc. At one month, he is really young and tough in his little way...yet also very vulnerable.
Avatar f tn It is hard for me to say, for sure, what the lump is, but it does sound like a swollen gland. When you go for your OB/GYN appointment, show it to your doctor so he/she can check it out and let you know for sure. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!
Avatar n tn m 41yrs old, in reasonable fitness and health but have been diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and have had a drain/antibiotic therapy to clear up the infection and abscess. The appendix will be taken out in 4 weeks' time. What range of physical activity should I carry out in the interval? Would there be a risk of causing damage by lifting, bending, moderate gym exercise etc ? Thanks..
Avatar f tn s know about your symotoms as they may want to do some tests to be sure they got all of your absess, and that your infection has not returned. Your W/D from the perks should only last about 3-5 days with day 2-4 the worst of it, but as you know everyone reacts diffrently. FYI I have had to come off long term use of Percocet and Vicodin ( 6 + yrs ) I now have to come off a stronger pain med due to many recent surgeries ( Morphine Contin ER ) which my Drs.
