Common Questions and Answers about Amoxicillin dosage strep throat

Avatar n tn Hi and sorry you are ill. Do you still have the sore throat? Do you have a high fever? Usually, with a strep throat you don't have a cough or other symptoms. So this sounds like a virus rather than a strep throat. So, when you went it to the doctor what were your symptoms to start with? If you only had pus in the throat and a sore throat with a fever you had strep throat. Then if they did a strep test and it was positive the antibiotics didn't help the sore throat?
Avatar f tn I tested negative for gonorrhea/clamydia with the throat swab but I tested positive for group c strep (which is rare). The guy also got a uti within one week of the oral sex. I was given amoxicillin. The sore throat went away but one tonsil stayed very swollen and is still the same two months later! I am also having nerve pain on the same side and one swollen lymph node that always stays swollen. I have seen my dr numerous times and have tested negative for stds.
Avatar f tn Strep throat you get fever headache and its super painful to pass saliva.
Avatar n tn I am suffering from Body pain and Strep throat . Took amoxicillin for a week and then visited Doctor he put me on azithromycin for 3 days but today is the fourth day still i feel the same.
Avatar m tn So I had Strep Throat over the weekend. Seen my doctor and he put me on Amoxicillin. My strep cleared up for the most part (the white crap all over my throat). Throat is still sore and have ulcers in a few places around my mouth. Not to worried about that, what does worry me is now my gums are killing me. I cannot even tough them with a brush. No blood as of yet from them. Is this the last of the infection retreating?
Avatar f tn I was tested for strep and mono. Strep came back positive (Strep C) and negative for mono. I was prescribed amoxicillin and was feeling much better on day 3 until I developed a horrible yeast infection. I was then prescribed the one dose of fluconazole and the yeast infection was cleared. My original symptoms were gone so I didn't bother taking the rest of the antibiotic. (I know, my fault).
Avatar m tn I’m late answering this but i was diagnosed with strep even though i suspected mono but the doctor put me on amoxicillin anyways. I had taken seven days of amoxicillin feeling the sickest i had ever felt but developed no rash so the doctor didn’t worry. After 7 days of being on amoxicillin my throat finally felt better and i did not feel sick anymore. I went to sleep that night and woke up at 5am itching and had developed a full body rash over night.
290867 tn?1333569278 My ob said there is nothing he can do because its really not pregnancy related and its gotten to the point of unbareable. He said I had a bad viral infection and strep throat. I am just really concerned about taking any meds while im preggo.
Avatar m tn Additional meds have been added to treat this, Pred Forte and Prednisone taper (uveitis), Prilosec and various other pump blockers (gastritis), 20days amoxicillin (strep) 10 weeks on amoxicillin (bronchitis), singulair and dulera for asthma. These are just symptoms added to my daily BD symptoms of joint, connective tissue inflammation, various GI symptoms, extreme fatigue, memory and coordination difficulties, night sweats, ulcers, headaches and low grade fevers.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Amoxicillin a couple days ago for strep throat and an ear infection and when I opened the bottle to take it I noticed that it smelled bad. I don't know if it's normal or not so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn 2 doctors told me I had strep.. second one tested for strep came back positive.. could 2 doctors be wrong about this? Thanks !!
Avatar n tn It is now Saturday, my daughter was diagnosed with strep throat Wednesday night and started amoxicillin in the urgent care, Friday afternoon she broke out in a itchy rash...mostly on her torso but some on her legs, neck, and arms. She has been on amoxicillin several times before from ear infections when she was little. The only difference with that is it is no longer pink (the amoxicillin).
Avatar f tn s a good chance she already is carrying the strep that caused your sore throat. Stopping such contact now probably will make no difference in her exposure. I would say the same even if you were not taking the antibiotic. A person with strep in the throat may also have it on various skin surfaces, including the genitals. However, for the reasons above, I do not think your partner is at risk no matter what kissing or other sexual practices you have.
Avatar n tn m concerned this could be STD related, or a super strain of strep. is it possible to have a throat infection for months?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with strep throat 4 days ago. My throat started feeling better after 24 hours and completely stopped hurting by 48 hours once I started taking amoxacillin, I noticed last night it was starting to hurt again and when I woke up this morning it's killing me. Last night I was a few hours late taking my amoxicillin could it be from that or has the medicine stop working?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with strep throat at an urgent care 2 days ago and almost all the symptoms adds up (fever, red throat, white pus, very difficult swallowing pain). However the rapid lab test that they gave me came back negative. The doctor told me that the test could be wrong and prescribed me with 10 days of amoxicillin. The only symptom that doesn't seems to align with strep is a cough that I've been having.
Avatar f tn Went to Little Clinic, the APRN noticed white spots on my throat, said it was likely Strep (although I had no sore throat) but that it was too soon to test, started me on Amoxicillin anyways. I felt better a day after taking them and finished the round. The next morning after finishing the amox, after taking them for almost a week, I noticed a slight rash. It ended up getting worse, started on my chest and back, and eventually spread to arms, hands, feet.
Avatar f tn Didnt swab my my throat just looked and said strep. So my question is was it mono or strep because the amoxi did take the swelling down and remove the white spots and i know antibiotics don't cure viruses.
Avatar m tn He also prescribed me amoxicillin, so that I can take it on 6th day if I do not get better. When I feel sick on 1st day, I had very high fever and followed by sore throat. I had fever entire time during first three days. Now I still have fever and sore throat, but two times in the day. It goes away for 8 hours after I take 2 tynenol, 1 mucin and 2 Echinacea and 1 amoxicillin. I get fever and dry cough back and I take the medicine again for another 8 hours relief.
Avatar f tn t perform any tests, but prescribed amoxicillin. I took it at night, and woke up in the morning with a throat feeling slightly better, but with rashes on my feet (around where the previous blotch had been---that area is now clear), on my hands (both the backs and the palms; red dots that aren't raised and are about 1-2mm, coming together to form red patches where some of my fingers meet my palm), around my shoulders, and on my upper back.
Avatar f tn Hello, i was diagnosed with strep throat and have been given amoxicillin to take twice a day for ten days. I noticed my gums are receding and making it very painful to eat, brush my teeth, etc. I also have a blister on my bottom lip, which I've never had before so could i possibly have an std? Or is this all caused by the strep and should go away with the antibiotics?
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Strep Throat about 2 weeks ago. I went one week taking Amoxicillin 3 times a day. By the next Monday, I was worse. I called my doctor, who changed me to Azithromycin. My laryngitis is better. Most of the sore throat is gone. However, I still have sore swollen glands, and I still have a large white pocket in my throat (Next to my Faucial Pillars). Is this typical? How long should I give it for the white patch and gland stuff to go away?
Avatar m tn What your doctor described is more consistent with a common, every day strep throat unrelated to sexual activity or a community acquired, non-STI viral infection. In either instance no therapy other than the amoxicillin (for potential strep) is needed and even the amoxicillin may be overkill. In answer to your specific questions: Could I have std in the throat or penis from just cunnilingus unprotected and what about hiv infection? See above.
Avatar f tn I woke up the next morning with a fever and what appeared to be strep throat. 1.5 days go by and i go to urgent care. They do a rapid strep test and it comes back negative. Doctor says it could be tonsillitis. The night before i saw him i was running a 104 in the middle of the night. Took Advil and it went down. When i was at the doctor it was 99. Now today (saw the doctor yesterday) I’m feeling a little bit better, but my throat still shows signs of tonsillitis and really hurts.
1697869 tn?1306766843 Okay guys. I'm freaking out because I found out a 4 weeks I was pregnant, then at 5 I got strep throat. Dr. prescribed Amoxicillin and I took it. Now, looking back I'm really really afraid I may have hurt my baby (I'm 9 weeks now) I understand that I had to take it or it the strep could have hurt the baby. Now, to top it all off, I got a yeast infection from the antibiotics and I don't know what to do. I'm mortified at the idea of taking another medicine. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar m tn ve had throat pain for almost 3 weeks now, and ive been tested positive for strep, taken amoxicillin (875 mg), and been back to the doctor very recently. They did a blood test on me to see if its mono and a throat culture as well. Results for that coming back on Monday. I am just curious as to what you all are thinking on what this is? Here is a picture of my throat https://gyazo.com/686e6b6ec0850d5bb46d556ea6d1cf49 I finished the antibiotics last week on Monday.
