Avatar f tn Yup! I got chigger bites really bad at 8 weeks. So bad that they started blistering and the skin started ulcerating from my feet to mid thighs. They gave me a shot of rosefrin and gave me keflex. They always make sure it's safe. Just ask for some Zofran as well with it because they can make your morning sickness worse, or if you don't have sickness it'll make you feel like poop! I'm 31 weeks asked I had a kidney infection and just had to go on another round of keflex. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I got bit by a dog on my leg and the bite wasn't to bad but it did break skin so I got put on antibiotics for 10 days and I'm nervous that it's not ok to take. But Iv been taking the recommended dose for like 3 days now. I'm 19 weeks pregnant now.
Avatar n tn can antibiotics for prostatitis be given in an intramuscular injestion insted of taking them oraly and would this cut down on side effects like stomach upset please someone answer this question for me it seems difficult to get questions answered here
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever successfully used antibiotics (minocycline, etc.) for Psoriatic Arthritis? Please share.
Avatar f tn Whether to do so or not is a judgment call, Bag balm is a skin softener, and will have no direct effect on an infection in the tissues under the skin. If softening the skin makes the dog more comfortable, it will do no harm. If a mastitis is painful and if it is apparent there is fluid pressure built up int he tissues, it is not uncommon to lance those tissues under general anesthesia to both drain them, and to place a plastic drain to facilitate ongoing drainage.
Avatar n tn Went to a doctor, he took samples and came to conclusion it was a fungus or allergic reaction to a plant. told him that it had spread and was getting worse, now sections of torso starting to turn into infected areas. Asked him for some oral antibiotics, said he didn't think it was necessary and he had seen worse, said this was worse for me but he still turned me away. If i could get antibiotics, like penicillin or something else, should i do a tapered course for like 8 or 9 days.
Avatar n tn No sore throat. I lost ten pounds from constantly vomiting the junk that I kept swallowing from my lungs. I've since put most of that weight back on. The bronchitis lasted over a month and I was on three rounds of antibiotics (20 days in total). He also put me on Prednisone. Part of that was because they originally put me on it for 5 days. It came back since it didn't totally clear it out and then they put me on it for a full week. I was traveling for work and not sleeping much.
Avatar f tn Different antibiotics cause different side effects. You should talk to your doctor about the antibiotic you took then vs the one you may take now. We can't tell you not to take medications your doctor has prescribed. Even if there wasn't any bacteria found in the abscess itself, the antibiotic can help prevent infection from the procedure. But you have real concerns, so talk to your doctor. That's what they're there for.
Avatar n tn Yes. Antibiotics even reach the skin, which is why they are sometimes used for acne. When you kill good bacteria, yeast that is always there goes out of control. Take an internal probiotic once you are done with antibiotics. Natural products that fight yeast are tea tree oil, baking soda, white vinegar. You can use Lotrimin cream. Follow the directions on the tube.
Avatar f tn My feet, body and head go down two sizes when I take antibiotics. For awhile I went with the low dose antibiotics to keep me moving (American College of rheumatology uses it as first line of defense against RA). Now I am convinced I need to high dose (think actimycosis) and treat topically at same time. When I take a shower or sauna my skin peels off. I can literally remove the inflammation. Or whatever it is that causes me to get suicidally sick.
Avatar f tn 2 brothers had a rash appear (and after swimming in a public pool) it has become severe and after several visits to a couple of different doctors it has been diagnosed as a staph infection. They are currently taking antibiotics for this. However, a skin scraping was not taken. Now, the health dept. and the parents are requesting the test to identify exactly which bacteria it is. Will the results be altered by already having the antibiotics on board?
1738039 tn?1310732266 Therefore, although the skin scraping was negative for mange it only means that it is negative for Demodex. Your dog could still have Scabies. It might be a good idea to have your dog treated for Scabies in addition to continuing with the pemphigus treatment. Please ask your vet about this possibility. The treatment for Scabies is Ivermectin once weekly either by infection or orally. It is not expensive.
Avatar f tn As Katarina and I suggested in our previous comments,your symptoms would not have gotten better with the antibiotics if you really had IBC If you continue to be overly concerned about it I can only advise you to talk to your doctor and express your worries as you are doing here and ask him what are your best options regarding some tests that you would like to do to alleviate your worries and to make sure that you don't have IBC.
Avatar n tn Hello, no, once a day will not dry out your hair, just be careful that you do not get an infection.
Cat Hello. Thank you for your question. In general, I counsel patients about things they can do to avoid redness, skin sensitivity, flushing, and dry skin that don't involve medications. For milder cases, this can be sufficiency First, patients should avoid spicy foods, alcohol, stress, sunlight, and extreme temperatures as these make flushing worse. In regards to skin care, patients should keep their skin moisturized with emolients. These are available over the counter (i.e. Eucerin, etc).
Avatar n tn I was on Doxy 100mg for about a month for antimalarial reasons, saw a slight improvement in my skin, and was then prescribed Doxy 50mg for acne indefinitely. I’ve been on this for about 3 weeks. I have definitely noticed fewer pimples, but I still have the odd one here and there. I’ve also been using 10% Benzoyl Peroxide gel which I think has worked wonders. I would like to go off Doxy 50mg to see if it is the Doxy or the Benzoyl which has helped my skin.
Avatar f tn I go onto antibiotics at the first sign of any abscess (for me a lump) and am usually on them for months at a time, until it is fully clear.
2132141 tn?1335678074 Like many bacteria, Group B Strep may be passed from one person to another through skin to skin contact, for example, hand contact [...] GBS bacteria do not cause symptoms or discomfort. GBS carriage is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is GBS carriage a sign of ill health or poor hygiene. No one should ever feel guilty or dirty for carrying GBS – it’s normal.
Avatar m tn Sorry there was a typo on my first post I should have said And, the dose you took for your face (or skin) maybe different than what you would be treated for your CT /GC or an STD. I was pretty tired when I wrote. I also meant to say that If these tests come back negative I wouldn't worry. If you were exposed (obviously by having unprotected sex or whatever reason), there could be other STD's to worry about.
Avatar n tn 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. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn these are your antibiotics? why do you think your kitties need antibiotics? what strength are they and how much do the kitties weigh? you do know that using an antibiotic on cats can be dangerous...you have to be very sure there is an actual infection, than the culture needs to show what antib will work for that strain.
