Because of sinus blockage, my CPAP machine used for severe sleep apnea has trouble delivering the air to my lungs, so I am haing difficuly sleeping.
Avatar f tn Due to a recent oral sex encounter, I got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia in the throat. Those swabs were done with the Aptima Combo 2 Assay and came back negative. I took azithromycin and rocephin injection as a precaution (before the swab results came back), and am currently taking Augmentin to get rid of the strep. I was feeling fine and healed until yesterday when my throat started to hurt again.
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 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 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'm 16, and I recently got put on amoxicillin for a really bad eat infection. When I went to the doctor, he said he saw no problems other than in my left sinuses which he assumed was the problem for my ear ache/runny nose/sore throat, etc. I've been taking nasonex, sudafed, and just today stopped taking my amoxicillin pills.
Avatar n tn I have had a sore/dry throat for about 2 months now with few other symptoms. No fever, cough, runny nose etc... I do however have thick or excessive mucus production in the back of my throat. It has not improved or worsened over time. I saw a doctor virtually a few weeks ago and she noticed that my tonsils had tiny holes in them which she referred to as "cobble-stoning" likely caused by the mucus build up. She prescribed me Amoxicillin which did nothing to help.
7892775 tn?1395673991 I got a head cold that turned into a sinus infection and ear infection... you can take amoxicillin while pregnant... I was given it... if you get an ear infection though they cant give you anything for the pain-- it *****!
Avatar f tn I've had a sore throat for about 3 weeks now. I originally went to the doctor with overall feeling of malaise, headache, fever, slight sore throat and abdominal pain. 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.
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 n tn About 2 weeks ago i went to my family doctor and i was diagnosed with a throat infection and prescribed Zpack. After taking ZPack for 5 days and several days later I did not see any effect. I had a dry cough along with a wheezy/whistling exhale. Sometimes my cough is so severe that I vomit and feel like stomach acid is coming up. My cough is more consistent throughout the night and the morning when I wake up. There is very little phlegm that comes up with my cough every now and then.
Avatar f tn 4 days after Amoxicillin, pain came back. Started same way, sore Left side throat, red swollen gum around the tooth, hard white bump, ? Fistula - maybe a piece of bone, painful. Made appt w/ Oral Surg, Rx'd more Amoxicillin, which eventually helped swelling go down. At appt., did x-ray, not catscan. He did not see anything wrong. But, on physical exam of the wisdom tooth, thought he found crack in tooth, below gumline.
1580703 tn?1651904887 It is possible that this is a sinus infection from what you have described and Amoxicillin might not work for that type of infection. Some of the symptoms you have described can be due to the infection. Others may be related to changes in the cyst. Your best advice is to go back to your physician and have a thorough examination to sort out the problems.
Avatar f tn I was taking cephalexin for a really bad throat and ear infection I had two weeks ago.
Avatar m tn So I'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.
Avatar n tn I am trying to get my daughter to take Amoxicillin for a throat infection. She won't swallow the capsule. Is it ok to break the pink and blue A45 Amoxicillin capsule in half and mix it in applesauce?
1092101 tn?1256956049 A few days afterward I became rather sick with what seemed like a mild cold (coughing, sneezing, fatigue etc), I felt it was no issue and didn’t go to the clinic about it then after the sickness started to go away I started to cough up blood so I went into my doctor and he prescribed me Amoxicillin for a bacterial infection.
Avatar m tn 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 Prescribed Amoxicillin 875 mg and a shot of rocephin followed that Friday when I was feeling no relief yet. Its now 5 days since starting amoxicillin and the throat opening hurts less but my appetite is totally gone and the tonsil actually seems bigger but less red. and it continuously puts out pus. it is not swollen past a midline but it is rather puffy and doeant resemble a tonsil. I wipe the pus with a cotton tip and it looks like it is coming from a tiny hole.
Avatar f tn My Daughter took amoxicillin for 1 week for an ear infection. She woke up the day after her final dose with a Rash over her entire body. By day three they had turned into big swollen welts. It did not seem to itch or bother her but I took her to the doctor and they said it was just a side effect from the medication and should disapear in 4-5 days. Well it has now been a week and the spots are still there.
Avatar m tn I'm a male who perform oral sex on a male on 3/24 and another male on 4/5. Both were brief without any ejaculation. Both stated they were STD free, but were anonymous encounters. I had a STD screen for all testable stds on 4/11 that were negative. I also took Amoxicillin 500 mg BID 7 days for tonsillitis. I didn't have a sore throat, but had white spots in the throat. On 4/18 I had a tonsillectomy and adenoids removed. The biopsy came back negative, but showed chronic infection.
Avatar f tn Hi, at the end of October I received oral and was masturbated by a guy and came, quickly. We didn't do anything else. I've had no symptoms in terms of anything on my penis or scrotum - sores, discharge, pain peeing - but recently have had swollen glands in my neck, and a bad chest. Right now I'm on amoxicillin for a throat infection. I'm just worried I could have picked an std up.
Avatar n tn Ok, so like I went to the dentist last tuesday, he said i had a really deep, bad infection in a back, lower molar and put me on antibiotics(amoxicillin) and extracted the tooth the next day. I have also had a slightly swollen thyroid for about 4 weeks and my throat has felt kind of fiery and hot on and off and i've felt weak and tired on and off as well.
Avatar n tn I had a sore throat in April, and the doctor gave me amoxicillin believing i had strept throat, without swabbing. The antibiotics didn't work until day 7 out of 10, and a few days after i finished the antibitocs it came back. A different doctor prescribed me cefaclor which worked after using it for 1 day. When I finished the prescription, a day after i had a sore throat.
Avatar f tn He saw a doctor and strep throat and mono were ruled out as a cause. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. He felt fine after a couple of days and all was well. But about two weeks later the same symptoms returned (w/ a fever of 101.6) and the doctors ruled out strep and mono once again and put him on the same medication regimen. Could his symptoms possibly stem from a tooth abscess?? If not a tooth abscess what else do you think could be causing his symptoms?
