Common Questions and Answers about Amoxicillin and urinary tract infections

amoxil

Avatar n tn Hopefully they gave her something other than amoxicillin because that anti-biotic takes a while to work and get rid of infections, but it does work. If an infection is not taken care of, with anti-biotics, it can spread, which is why I mentioned the kidneys. Though because she is being treated, it should not be anything to worry about. Make sure she takes all of the anti-biotics and she should be fine. Plus have her drink plenty of water and also cranberry juice.
Avatar f tn I’m 20 years old. I have a urinary tract infection(coliform). A doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 625mg + Tamsulosin medicine for 10 days to me. I have a side effect after taking Tamsulosin (Retrograde ejaculation) or any other ejaculation problem. Is this normal or should I stop using Tamsulosin? Or will it (Retrograde ejaculation ) recover after stop using ten days? Should I keep getting Tamsulosin for 10 days or stop?
Avatar f tn 90 percent of UTI’s are from E. coli. D’Mannose attaches to E. coli in the urinary tract and takes it with it when you urinate. When I have a UTI I take one pill at least every 2 hours for about a week instead of having to take antibiotics nonstop. That doesn’t treat the cause, but deals with the infection part. Now, for the diagnosis. Have you looked into interstitial cystitis? It is a possibility.
Avatar f tn In children without urinary tract infections 17.2-18.5% have VUR, whereas in those with urinary tract infections the incidence may be as high as 70% Age Younger children are more prone to VUR because of the relative shortness of the submucosal ureters. This susceptibility decreases with age as the length of the ureters increases as the children grow. In children under the age of 1 year with a urinary tract infection, 70% will have VUR. This number decreases to 15% by the age of 12.

Avatar n tn During the past few years, she has experienced repeated urinary tract infections. She has taken antibiotics (amoxicillin, bactrim) for these infections. In fact, she has been experiencing such an infection over the past few weeks. I know that urinary tract infections sometimes cause hallucinations. So, what's going on here? Is my mother seeing dead people because she has some form of dementia? Because of her urinary tract infections? Or because of some other reason?

Avatar n tn The question is whether you have a recurrent infection or a persistent infection. A recurrent infection is treated with an appropriate antibiotic (determined by a culture) and the infection is eliminated. Then there is a period when you have no infection, then a new infection occurs. A persistent infection is one that was never eliminated but just suppressed while on antibiotics. It is caused by a focus of infection somwhere in the urinary tract. It's caused by the same bacterium.
Avatar n tn Crystals can be dangerous in male dogs because if they become large enough they can become lodged in the urethra and cause blockage (even in dogs, though more common in male cats). Most urinary tract infections do not involve crystals and can be successfully treated with antibiotics.

Avatar f tn And in any case, urinary tract infections and urosepsis are no more common in people with or without HIV infection. As Dr. Hook advised last time, you had a sexual experience that carried no significant risk of HIV. I'm sorry to hear of your recent urosepsis. But it has nothing to do with HIV or with your sexual adventures in Melbourne last year.
