Avatar f tn Is strenuous exercise contraindicated when taking amoxicillin?Also, is sun exposure a factor, and if so, how long after you complete the round of antibiotics should you wait before you are able to go back out in the sun?

Avatar m tn Dr., For over the past two weeks, I have had a flat, red rash that appears like a sunburn on my face and particulary the neck. When I am in the sun or heat, it increases in itchiness and burning. A few days before the rash started, I had finished my second five-day course of 750mg Amoxicillin for dental work. Also, a few days (3 or 4) before the rash started, I had a very brief (3 seconds or so) unprotected oral sex exposure of which I was the recipient (I am male, received from female).
Avatar m tn Hi I once developed this really badly with Amoxicillin after I had been ski-ing in the sun. My face was the only place affected due to sun exposure. I was informed I was allergic to this drug but have had it since and as long as I stay out of sun am ok---------strange things happen.
Avatar n tn Hi! My daughter (11yrs old) started to have problem with sun exposure just this summer. For about 7 times now..she had swollen eyes,nose and cheeks after an hour or so under the sun. She always apply sunblock though. It's a pity that she can't enjoy outdoors now as much as loves to. I wonder what could be causing this and how to prevent it from reoccuring. Please advise....thanks.
Avatar n tn Hi, Are you talking about a malignant nodule in the lung? The exposure from the sun will place you at risk for cancers of the skin. While there are cancers of the skin that would have a tendency to metastasize the lung (melanoma), these would usually have a preliminary finding in the skin.
Avatar m tn He suggested that they start it just in case since we are all traveling for a week. He said to start them on it now as a preventative. Should I do this? What about sun exposure and exercise with this drug? My daughter had never taken antibiotics before either. Please help.
Avatar m tn On Nov.14,2011,I had my semi-annual teethcleaning. I was given Amoxicillin 2 Grams by mouth before the cleaning . My dentist recommended that I have a dead,cracked tooth extracted.Prior to my appointment with the oral surgeon, I took Amoxicillin 500mg 3x/day for 1 week. So on Nov.28,2011 I had that premolar extracted. No problems with procedure.I fly to Los Angeles and Phoenix for the x-mas holidays.
Avatar m tn The rash and reaction you describe following taking amoxicillin does sound very much like an amoxicillin reaction, something that is rather common and the fact that all got better when you stopped taking the medication supports this. I would not worry about HIV. When the results of the tests you took today are back, I anticipate that they will be negative. When you get these results, they will be definitive.
Avatar m tn I had a possible exposure of a one time unprotected oral sex i was the recipient and i am a male. What are my risks for std exposure and can amoxicillin cure gonorrhea and chlamydia ?
Avatar m tn Afterwards I washed with a wash cloth and went home and showered. I also took 250mg of amoxicillin I had from a previous case of bronchitis hoping maybe that would do something if there was an exposure. Since then I've had loose stool that has been green / yellow and tingling throughout my penis. What are my risks of contracting and std? Specifically my concerns are regarding hepatitis and herpes.
Avatar f tn actually sun is very beneficial to both you and baby, you need around 20 min of exposure to the sun everyday on your arms and legs, a little more if your dark skinned, your body gets its vitamin D from being exposed to the sun, otherwise you risk having vit D deficiency which isnt good, and you end up by having to take suppliments, just be sure that you dont go out in the hottest part of the day and if you do put on sunscreen :)

Avatar m tn At about a week after exposure,, my friend gave me more of the same Amoxicillin 500mg pills. I took them every 8 hours until I ran out. I had 7 pills. I am really worried about Stds. What was my risk from the exposure? Also, did the Amoxicilin do anything if I indeed had acquired an STD from that exposure? Am I at risk of HIV? Please help me. I don’t know what do.!
Avatar m tn It is possible that you have/had sun poisioning. Any antibiotics will add to the harsh exposure of the sun. That is why they tell you to try to avoid the sun if you can or use a high level of sunscreen if you are out in the sun. If you are not feeling better soon, you should see your doctor. Please be careful while in the sun while on these medications. It can cause some major symptoms not to mention the higher risk of sun burn. Hope you feel better soon.
Avatar m tn Hi I meant to say that I dint remember exact date of exposure. First I had unprotected oral sex exposure on 6th Dec2013, then protected intercourse on midlle of dec somewhat but don't remember. So now , as u said above I am on amoxicillin + Ciprofloxacin from last 8 days now (for bacterial diagnosed on my penis) . Now, I want to re-test for all STD's .
Avatar m tn I had no choice since I am not coming home in 2 weeks but to take amoxicillin. I was afraid I had exposure and knowing that health care is hard to get I decided to take full 7 days course. Can you please tell me if amoxicillin would clear any of the stds? In case I contracted any? Also did I start treatment to early 8 hours after the exposure following for 7 days.
Avatar m tn Other symptoms may begin within a few hours of sun exposure but go away within hours. They include: Fatigue Chills Headache Nausea Solar urticaria. Symptoms may develop within minutes of exposure to sun.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctors, I posted the following question several weeks ago. Today's question is with regard to the same exposure (Apr 9), but about other STDs (other than HIV, which I'm pretty much convinced that I don't have, but I will take another HIV test soon to be sure). http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn After moving from Australia to America, I had notice that my arms would get small bumps on them within a few hours of sun exposure that lasted anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on how intense the sun was on the day. These bumps are skin coloured, smaller in size than a dot made by a pen and would itch for a short period upon erupting on my skin but the bumps themselves wont resolve until weeks later.
Avatar f tn To prevent solar urticaria in future, desensitization using phototherapy and photochemotherapy are often advised. In this we try to decrease the amount of exposure by gradually increasing exposure to the form of radiation that brings about the reaction. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar m tn The problem with your taking amoxicillin at this time is that a substantial portion of gonorrhea are now resistant to amoxicillin and if you were going to take the amoxicillin you would need to take at least 3 grams, along with a second medication to boost the antibiotic levels in your blood. As I said before, I do not recommend taking amoxicillin. The chances are that you did not get infected.
Avatar f tn Hi, her symptoms are suggestive of allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Usually with previous exposure it will not cause any reaction. Any subsequent use can trigger the reaction. The reaction which is seen is anaphylactic and late serum sickness type of reaction. This is actually an emergency condition you should take her to the hospital esp. if there is breathing difficulty. She should be managed by anti-histaminic and steroids which take care of the allergic symptoms.
Avatar n tn After receiving unprotected oral sex from a female (male recipient). Someone is prescribed 500mg amoxicillin 3x's daily for 10 days, would this abort the incubation of such std's as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or syphilis? The antibiotics were prescribed the day after the encounter (within 24 hours). I've been hearing different things from different sites and its been driving me crazy. Do I need to worry? Thank you.
