Avatar f tn I then sent pictures to an online dermatologist who thinks it’s a combination of dermatitis and bacterial. He prescribed doxycycline in conjunction with with the cephalexin and acyclovir and topical Desonide. Last night it was oozing yellow more. Does anyone think there’s something else going on? This is a picture of it now, dry. Worried about scarring. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lyb57egcsfx010v/Photo%20Sep%2018%2C%205%2054%2013%20PM.jpg?
Avatar m tn 5 days later I begin to have the tingling sensation in my penis and then 2 days later I still had some of it and my doctor gave me Cephalexin 500 MG 3x a day and Acyclovir 800 MG 3x a day. I noticed the testicles to be hanging for past few says and a bit red. Today is a bit less in them hanging. I've also taken some leaf extract pills and some other herbal pills. On penis or anywhere on it, I have not seen any sores so far or any blisters.
Avatar m tn Hello. Tested positive for gonorrhea on 3/4 - I believe due to receiving oral sex around 2/20. I was not symptomatic until 3/1. I had unprotected vaginal intercourse w/ my girlfriend in the days before I became symptomatic. My girlfriend had been taking cephalexin 4 times a day from 2/24 until a day or so ago (she had a minor dental procedure and was prescribed the cephalexin I'm assuming to prevent infection). Would the cephalexin have treated any potential gonorrhea infection?
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had to take Cephalexin while pregnant? I'm 19 weeks and taking 3 pills a day for a week for an infection on my toe. I'm a big worry wart as this is my first pregnancy and I'm wondering if anyone else has taken it or had any problems.
Avatar n tn I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed cephalexin at the hospital I went to. I was told to take it 4 times a day for 7 days. Will this effect my baby? I'm unsure. I'm not allergic to any medications. Please let me know if any of you have had the same concerns.
Avatar f tn I noticed a slight rash on my ears a week ago, a couple days later it had spread to the back of my neck and into the hairline at the back of my neck and above my ears. A doctor prescribed cephalexin for cellulitis even though the symptoms aren't presented. The rash is dry and feels coarse and bumpy. The drug doesn't seem to be helping, nor does the Benadryl I'm taking to manage the itch. I've been taking the drug for only 4 days.

Avatar m tn Hello Doc, My 9 months old kid is having light fever and is prescribed with Cephalexin 125 mg, Deriphyllin syrup and one antipyretic (Paracetamol and brufen combination) for 5 days is it fine?
Avatar m tn My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip. Thanks.
Avatar m tn It is most commonly prescribed after a surgery or to treat a bacterial infection, dermatological problems and urinary tract infections. Cephalexin for use in dogs is similar to the use of penicillin in humans. Significance Cephalexin is one of the most widely used antibiotics in dogs, according to VetInfo.com. It can be administered via capsule, tablet or in liquid form. To lessen side effects, have your dog take the medicine with food.
Avatar f tn t want to take the Clindamycin because it made me so ill, he prescribed Cephalexin. Does anybody know anything about this drug? I looked it up and it said it is similar to penicillen. Will it work since the penicillen didn't? Sorry to sound so paranoid, but my dentist is not very easy to talk to about this and I am so scared. I hate when people/doctors think you're exaggerating. Believe me, I want to find a drug that will take care of this! Then maybe the pain will go away!
Avatar f tn She had an eye infection that she was on cephalexin and antibiotic opthalmic ointment for. She has been off the oral antibiotics for over a week now but still has eye ointment applied 3 times daily. She started getting a slight head tilt which at first I thought was due to the lack of sight in her bad eye as it has severe scarring to the cornea. But after a few days she has also developed an eye twitch to both eyes. She still eats very well and plays with her littermates.
Avatar m tn The general physician told me that I have infection of the throat and tonsil. She prescribed me antibiotic (cephalexin), lozenges, cough syrup, and panadol. It didn't get better. Finally i couldn't stand the burning sensation (heartburn) so i decided to take antacid (zellox-II) and immediately i feel relieved. The heartburn sensation disappearred overnight.
Avatar f tn My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
Avatar n tn Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.

My question is can a kidney infection delay or affect ovulation? Or do you think i need a higher dosage of clomid?
Avatar f tn After he told me I have been watching my self closely and I have some cephalexin 500mg that the doctor gave me for an urine tract infection about 9-10 months ago and I have 2 refills, should I get them refilled and start treating myself until I can get to the doctor. I've called and they don't have anything available till the end of this month. I've been to the free clinic three times and they are so crowded I can never get seen.
Avatar n tn my son just took cephalexin. He now has swollen eyes and lots of redness. Is this an allergy? Now what?
Avatar n tn As you you have been given cephalexin which is a Cephalosporin and can also cause such allergic reaction (cross reactivity or allergy). The allergic reaction keeps on worsening unless the offending drug is discontinued.
Avatar f tn I took it around 20 weeks for a UTI and my doctor and pharmacist told me it was safe. My baby is healthy and obviously it didn't affect her but it cleared up the infection. I'd take it if the doctor gave it to you.
1541943 tn?1293121717 i am following up at 3 today more blood work, maybe switch from cephalexin to doxycycline? maybe gland biopsy?
