Avatar m tn I am taking bactrim for a UTI. I also have a sore throat. No scratchiness or raw feeling. It just hurts to swallow. (Like when a piece of potato chip gets stuck going down.) Doctor yesterday took a swab but said bactrim doesn't work for upper respiratory infections. However, she didn't give me an other antibiotic. I don't have fever. But she said the bactrim may be preventing me from having fever. When I looked on line, it said that bactrim is prescribed for upper respiratory.
Avatar n tn Hello there, First of all how do you know your kitty has an upper respiratory infection? If you suspect an upper respiratory infection, please take your fur baby to a vet. If this amoxicillin or ciproflaxin is human medication, do not give this to your cat as this is made for human consumption not for cats. Take your cat to a vet to be properly diagnosed and treated. Under no circumstances should you ever use human prescription meds on a cat.

Avatar n tn The folliculitis may be secondary to the infection. This appears to be a bacterial upper respiratory tract infection and folliculitis is a bacterial infection. It is possible that these may be associated. As for the skin condition to be secondary to the medications, this should be an allergic skin reaction and not folliculitis. Continue with your medication and observe if this continues. An allergic skin reaction usually manifests with itchiness and large patches of skin papules.

Avatar f tn Streptoccocal infection is the most common bacterial infection and can cause nasal symptoms too. Indoor exposure to black mold can cause upper respiratory tract symptoms such as sore throat and cough with or without wheeze in otherwise healthy people. Ideally you should consult a chest specialist. A comprehensive investigation including CBC, throat swab, allergic tests, X-rays, examination with a scope in throat, spirometry etc is required keeping all the points in mind. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, you are suffering from respiratory tract infection involving bronchus and there can be possibility of involvement or spread to upper respiratory tract including throat and nose. Bacterial infection is one of the common causes. This infection is complicated by acute bronchitis which is accompanied by productive cough. In such case, empirical therapy with broad spectrum antibiotics should be given.
Avatar n tn This is your body's normal response to infection in the upper respiratory tract. this isn't std related.
Avatar f tn Recurrent respiratory infections, concurrent with recurrent urinary tract infections is a very common scenario because infection in each of these sites, lungs and urinary tract, is very common. For this reason, the occurrence of these two, together, does not mean that they are related in any way, including having a common cause.
Avatar f tn The condition often occurs after a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Mumps virus, influenza virus, and other respiratory viruses have been found to cause subacute thyroiditis. The most prominent feature of subacute thyroiditis is gradual or sudden onset of pain in the region of the thyroid gland. Painful enlargement of the thyroid gland may persist for weeks or months. The condition is sometimes associated with fever. Hoarseness or difficulty swallowing may also develop.

Avatar n tn Initially, the symptoms you have mentioned correlates with an upper respiratory tract infection, followed by development of lymph nodes in the chin. 2. Your ear ache is because of Acute Otits media, this usually follows an upper respiratory tract infection/ nasal allergies/sinusitis.
Avatar n tn As far as I remember from my lectures folliculitis is commonly caused by overgrowth of staphylococcus aureus bacteria which is present on the skin of alot of people. This is normally treated with flucloxacillin. I've not heard of erithromycin use for upper respiratory tract infection so I wouldn't like to speculate on why this could have caused folliculitis other than the two infections would have been very close together time-wise if they were related or linked to the antibiotic.
Avatar f tn Post nasal drip is not associated with cystic fibrosis but can be seen secondary to sinusitis, as upper respiratory tract infections are common in this case. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn metabolic comes after the flushing of the nasal tract which ultimately drains the upper respiratory tract. the flushing of the nasal passages using the neti pot with time changes the flora in your respiratory back to normal, clearing out all the mucous buildup feeding bacterial and fungal invaders. some case may need combination of meds with nasal irrigation along with surgery in cases where polyps or fungal ball develop.
Avatar n tn Having a high number usually indicates a urinary tract or yeast infection. Any respiratory illness? Have you ruled out covid?
Avatar m tn My tests for chlamydia/gonorrhea came back negative and the nurse said it could be a urinary tract infection. A week after treatment the discharge is clear but heavy now and urinating is very painful. I have lots of swelling and redness at the opening of my urethra. I went to urgent care last week to get treatment for a UTI and was prescribed cipro (500mg x 2/day x 10days). The doctor said my urine was neg. for a UTI but that I could have an issue with my prostate (prostatitis?
Avatar f tn These two counts are not the only parameters to decide whether she is having a cancer or not, we need to check in for other parameters also. I think she had an episode of upper respiratory tract infection because of which the gland got swollen. I would like to suggest you that swelling of the gland is because of the infection itself. Try giving her antibiotics (a combination of Amoxycillin and Cerlavulanic acid), probably she should be better with this.
Avatar n tn The other most dangerous upper respiratory infection that can cause these symptoms is feline herpes. This one doesn't cause sores as often as calici, and it usually produces copious nasal and eye discharge. Treatment is the same as for calici - antibiotics to fight bacterial infection, as well as supportive care with vitamins and subcutaneous fluids if needed. L-lysine is also recommended to use with herpes patients. 500mg a day is the effective dose.
Avatar n tn You have partially recovered from the upper respiratory tract infection. Also, it appears that you are having infection of the external ear (Otitis externa) or left TMJ problems. Try taking muclolytics (such as bromhexine/ambroxyl), pain relievers (such as Ibuprofen/diclofenac), saline nasal drops, steam inhalation, drink plenty of warm water and avoid chewing on the left side. Consult your doctor for the detailed examination and further management.
