antibiotics

Avatar f tn Pseudomonas is typically a very hard bacteria to kill and becomes drug resistant when antibiotics are used very often. My daughter had pseudomonas several months ago and had to have her ear swabbed and cultured. The pseudomonas was resistant to all the drug classses but the newest cyclosporin. She has had chronic ear infections since she was a baby (she's 13).
Avatar f tn in your and any ones case test your self with long specialist for lung cistyse fibrosis as thei cause lung infections and polyps together with pseudomonas bacterie..only adequate ventilation+antibiotics can remove theis bacterie from body,nothing else...in case of lung cistyse fibrisys =sorry no cure...
Avatar m tn I found a good ENT in Anchorage that took cultures - it was pseudomonas again. Been on antibiotics, etc. He said that I have biofilms. Been flushing like crazy. That doctor moved to Guam. He sent me last fall to another doctror-- started all over again- yes, culture turned up psedomonas two more times- Now I am using a gentamicin nasal rinse 2x's a day. Been doing it since middle of Dec. Now the asthma gets bad when I get any ear ach or infection.
453284 tn?1205793544 Unfortunately cystics are always fighting one form of infection or another. It is common for cystics to colonize bacteria as well, such as pseudomonas aeruginosa, staph aureus and others because the lungs are a perfect breeding ground for bacteria due to the sticky mucous. I personally grow out B. cepacia (not a very nice bug), staph, steno. maltophillia (sp?) and pseudomonas about every time they culture me. When I get sick, the colonies are usually much higher and I have to get IV antibiotics.
Avatar n tn My Dr finally did a swab and it came back + for pseudomonas and Staphylococcus aureus, hurrah finally im on the right antibiotics and hopefully it will destroy all these nasty bugs. Ear infections would have to be one of the most painful things i have ever experienced i have no idea how small children cope with the pain. Good luck to you all with the treatments im looking forward to a positive result!!
Avatar m tn I have a pretty bad case of Hot Tub Folliculitis after going in my parents' spa. It is pretty unsightly & I have bumps covering my flanks, abdomen, underwear line, and buttocks with some spotting on thighs. I am actually not too itchy or uncomfortable. I know it usually clears up on its own, but I've heard antibiotics are prescribed for more severe cases. I'd consider mine pretty bad, but again, I'm not too uncomfortable. Should I wait it out?
Avatar f tn I also havfe asthma. I recently was told I have pseudomonas in my lungs. I take 1200 mgs of mucinex daily and use a acapella to help vibrate the lungs. Is there anything else that I can do in treating the pseudomonas. I wake up every morning full of congestion in my chest and cough for about 2 hrs in the morning and then through out the day. It is a productive cough. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/283055'>Pseudomonas</a>.
Avatar m tn Is that the reason why these oral antifungal pills are not working, if so what type of antibiotics would I need to suggest since we do not have a dermatologist on base? Is it common to only have it in one spot of my body and is the resemblence of dyshydrotic eczema on my hands a regular reaction to this? Is it contagious? After starting treatment for bacterial eczema how long will it take to clear up and will it keep reoccuring?
Avatar f tn I had a sinus infection at the time, and I still have it. In April of 2013, it went into Pseudomonas and MRSA. Oral antibiotics got rid of the pseudomonas, but now I'm on IV antibiotic therapy 2 grams of Vancomycin infused every 12 hours. Of the 23 antigens they tested my blood for I had one that showed up a little bit. They gave me an pneumonia shot to hopefully stimulate some immunities, but the doc doesn't think it will work.

Avatar n tn the way to help with pseudomonas is to knock down the biofilm it creates in the gut this will strengthen your immune system dramatically and lessen your symptoms .also zinc supplements help fight pseudomonas .phage therapy is a cure for pseudomonas probably the only thing in existence that will cure chronic pseudomonas unless you can boost your immune system enough d3 supplements are very important.
1347273 tn?1317627138 I suffer quite a lot from sinus infections due to pseudomonas. I can not take quinolones antibiotics due to being sensitive so suffer all the time. My question is at the moment I have quite a constant stream of fluid coming down my nose and I have to wipe away a lot. A couple of times I have not been able to wipe my nose quickly enough and goes to the mouth. This fluid is quite salty.
1418362 tn?1282203044 Can penicillin based antibiotics (Amoxicillain) worsen a sinus infection caused by allergies toPpennicilium, Cladasporium and Asperilligus molds? I am allergic to several molds, and have recently been prescribed Amoxicillin for a sinus infection caused by allergies. The mucus has cleared up from green to white, but my allergy symptoms are also worse and I am having severe diarhea which has left me weak, faint and exhausted.
Avatar n tn ) It has not responded at all to either jock itch or yeast infection medicines. There are two complications, one; I took a round of antibiotics about 1-2 weeks prior, 2; I do fish research so I can spend up to 30 hrs a week in waders (i.e. you are wet and clammy.) Both these would led me to guess a yeast infection but medicine for this has had 0 effect. What else could it possibly be??
Avatar n tn It is an infection of the hair follicle with Pseudomonas bacteria and is most commonly seen in people who bathe in a contaminated spa, swimming pool, or hot tub. I would suggest that you apply calamine lotion and a simple antimicrobial cream like Bactroban or Neosporin on the rash and keep the area clean.I f the symptoms persist then topical steroids and oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn I have had cellulitus twice in the past (from surgeries) - both times required hospitalization - one required a pic (sp?) line and IV antibiotics at home for 6 weeks. Also, I had a bronchoscopy 2 years ago and my pulmonologist told me I have pseudomonas. Further complications - I have rheumatoid arthritis and SLE. My question is - is it relatively safe for me to have the surgery on my foot?
Avatar m tn ve been down the same path as you my friend.
Avatar n tn Bronchiectasis is dilation and inflammation of the airways with lots of thick, sticky mucous production. Bronchiectasis is permanent damage, can result from repeat infections or certain types of infection (MAC tends to be a huge culprit here). I have mild bronchiectasis from atypical CF and am treated with nebulized antibiotics (inhaled tobramycin every other month for pseudomonas infection), zithromax and IV"s when necessary.
Avatar f tn My dad is 81 and has chronic pseudomonas infection in his lungs. He also has COPD. This is his 4th round of getting this infection in 3 years. He just got out of the hospital from a 5 day stay 3 weeks ago and did a 10 day pick line antibiotic. His Dr called today and he still has the infection. They are calling it a 4+ pseudomonas infection. (whatever that means). He has done every antibiotic there is (pill form, nebulizer, inhalers and pick line) for this and nothing is working anymore.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I have a 2mm Granuloma in my lower right lobe lung. Is this from TB or pseudomonas luteola?
Avatar f tn Another option would be trying to empirical treatment with appropriate antibiotics, which I might have had some success with in the past as I was treated for something else. Good luck though finding doctor who will agree to this though unless you have additional symptoms besides PATM. I don't know if this is it, but I think his is one of the main areas worth exploring.
