antibiotics for eye infections

Please see an ophthalmologist. Often patients are treated with antibiotics, unnecessarily for things like dry eye syndrome or allergic conjuctivitis. You could easily have something like dry eye keratopathy. Suggest you see EyeMD Ophthalmologist right away to see what you actually have and in meantime stop eyewash (it has chemicals and detergents and will wash out your good lubricating tear film worsening your problem) and use TheraTears or Genteal drops every few hours and bedtime .

They will give you a course of antibiotics. For me I was given the pill. The dr will keep an eye on you. But honestly it is nothing to worry about as long as you finish your antibiotics.

I was diagnosed with dry eye, blepharitis, clogged glands in March. I was prescribed Retasis, which seems to be helping. I use warm compresses and wash with baby shampoo twice a day. However, I continue to have inflamed eyelids, I've lost most of my eyelashes and my eyes get infected constantly. I have been using zylet, and dioxcycline orally. My doctor insists I keep using restasis even though my eyes are constantly infected. I thought this was contraindicted.

I was having servere pain in my middle back in the right side so at 1 am on the 5th I went to the er at that point was 22 weeks and 4 days they admitted me into labor and delivery where they found out the pain was due to a kidney infection they kept me on an IV with antibiotics until I was discharged this morning they sent me home with more antibiotics to take to finish fighting the infection but since I got home this morning my vagina has been kinda itchy when I itch it it hurts could that be a

It could be uveitis, an inflammation involving the pigmented areas in the eyes, Glaucoma, cluster headaches, optic neuritis or any other condition. Please consult an eye specialist first for a complete eye examination and a CT scan to determine the cause. If the eye problems are ruled out, please consult a neurologist and go for an MRI of the brain to check whether there is a pathology in the brain. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!

Dear Doctor Hagan I was just wondering if i can use Terramycin for my 3 year old daughter.. she have this for almost a month already and it is still there.. we already had her eye checked and gave us meds for it but still didnt work.. will it be ok to try terramycin???

I feel like ordering a bunch of antibiotics and just go through a course just for the sake of it. Maybe the smell or moisture stops, or at worst nothing changes and I put myself at a little more risk by doing a 14 day course (antibiotic resistant and all). Please please please help. I'd greatly appreciate it.

I was on antibiotics for a bladder infection I didn't even know I had. They say the infection could cause more problems then the antibiotics. (I guess preterm labor is the risk with a bladder infection)I've been taking cranberry pills since the infection to try to prevent future infections. Most importantly drink plenty of fluids.

Monistat works like a charm for yeast infections! That's what my doctor told me I could take. Just over the counter. He recommended the 7-day treatment. Baby is protected by the bubble she's in, so the medication does not get to him/her. Perfectly safe! Unless as previously said, you have any other complications. I would talk to your doctor before you do anything. And like they said, anti biotics are needed for a bacterial infection. Good luck!

if it is due to taking antibiotics, try eating plain yogurt while taking the antibiotics...this will prevent a yeast infection from even begining.

I have uneven pupils My left eye (smaller pupil) is a good eye, see very clear, mostly accommodate for both eye. My right eye (the bigger pupil) has always been bad, blurry. Lately, when looking at traffic light (especially the arrow light) from afar or looking at words from afar, I sorta see double/triple vision (worst if I close my left eye (the good eye). However, as I'm coming closer to the light, they are more formed.

yes you have to go to the doctor, they will do a pelvic exam and take some swabs and if the test comes back positive for BV they will give you antibiotics, if it's yeast they will usually give you one pill called diflucan or some creams.

I had to take it for Skin infections (called a Zpack but same thing) it works fine.

I am a contact lens wearer, and I continually getting eye infections, for about the past 2 years. (I've been wearing contacts for about 5 years.) My eyes get very red and become painful, and occasionally swell. I become very light-sensitive and my pupils constrict to the point where I can barely keep my eyes open. I have removed my lenses to see a mucus-like build up on several occasions. My doctor has prescribed me TobraDex in the past, which sometimes helps after a few days.

Well, she sent me home with the proper antibiotics for his nasal bacterial infection and told me that he had loads of nasty green growths up his nose, but she could not biopsy them because of his sever swelling. He struggled to breath. He snorted like a big and sounded horrible. There were some nights I was expecting to wake up and find him dead. Two weeks went buy and barley any chance.

Viral eye infections are like getting the flu, antibiotics don't help and both can last for several weeks. Several viral eye infections like epidemic kerato-conjunctiviits (EKC) behave in the way your describe. Its likely that the antibitoics were of no help at all other than the drops to prevent a secondary bacterial infection.

s immune systems are suppressed so we are more prone to infections and we take longer to heal than we normally would. Baby yourself for a little bit and take it easy. You should be fine as long as you stay hydrated and don't spike a high fever. Get feeling better!
