250701 tn?1320974765 My lung Doctor called me in some augmentin because I have been coughing up thick yellow mucus. I just don't know if I can take it on treatment. Does anyone know??
Avatar m tn (. Although it could be from the augmentin I am taking right now ( it is my 6th day of taking augmentin). I have a bacterial infection in my throat and the doctor prescribed me this. The mouth sores appread 2 to 3 days after I started taking my medication. I read that augmentin does cause mouth sores. It's one of it's may side effects. But I am worried still.
Avatar n tn My boyfriend was prescribed 1 gram of Augmentin twice daily for 3 weeks for acute bacterial prostatitis. He hasn't actually received his urine test results yet though, so not sure what type of bacteria it actually is. Is this an appropriate treatment?
Avatar n tn long standing sinus infection,had amoxicillin,now on 2weeks of augmentin,have 2 days left,developed itchy red areas on body ?
Avatar n tn make sure they also test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally when seen friday too. augmentin is known for causing yeast vaginitis :( no need to wait until you have a rip roaring obvious yeast infection to get tested for it since you are going back this week.
Avatar n tn When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic. Dr said that if it went away on Augmentin then it must be bacterial - but why would he then prescribe a yeast medication (spandnox -sorry about spelling) - wouldnt augmentin make yeast worse? Has anyone has a similar situation and had success treating the infection?? What was it treated with successfully? Is it possible this is a problem related to Group B strep??
Avatar f tn I wish I could answer that for you. But someone on the formum for STD may know. It sounds like you have somekind of infection, but I don't know. Maybe the HPV virus.
Avatar f tn I've had bv multiple times and I've had it with this pregnacy as well as my first you will be perfectly okay to wait until you get paid.. I would definitely wait to treat it until you have them confirm thats what it is.. only causes concern when left untreated for long periods of time:) for now I'd try to use unscented soaps and only wash with water... seems off since bv causes a smell but I was told and have found that soap can cause your ph levels to go wacky and that can cause bv.
Avatar f tn He also told me to STOP taking augmentin because if it was bacterial larangytis, it would be getting better by now. I’m now on Valacyclovir for the cold sore on my chin. Today is the 17th and my throat is still awful. The girl I had relations with had a questionable partner about a month before. She hasn’t had any symptoms, but Got tested on the 16th and is waiting for results.
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor a week ago, and she seemed to think they were bacterial and gave me a prescription for Augmentin and Bactroban ointment. They have slowly started to look better, but today I noticed they had a bulleyes appearance. Do you think this could be Lyme disease?
Avatar m tn After a year long period of many tests to rule out more serious disorders I was finally diagnosed with small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome. I was given the hydrogen/methane breath test which showed very high methane levels but virtually no hydrogen. I then proceeded to the antibiotic regimen. First was Augmentin which did nothing then Rifaxim and that did nothing also. The follow up breath tests showed no reduction in CH4 levels, which are very high.
Avatar f tn This was my second pregnancy. I have since developed a bacterial infection vaginally. My doc prescribed Metronidazole for that, and two days later I had a horrible fever and chills all night long (which I thought was a side effect of the Metronidazole) and my right breast was horribly red and really sore! I also had a cramp in the right side ovary. I went back to the doc, for the ovary pain (thinking the breast thing would resolve itself I stupidly didn't mention it to him).
Avatar m tn Doctor has given Augmentin tablets and she took Augmentin tablets for 3 days. But the boil has not gone yet. The boil has slightly reduced. Its hot weather. We do not know what to do. please advise. Many thanks.
Avatar n tn Yields a moderate growth of Coliforms, sensitive to Ampicillin, Augmentin, Ceftazidime, Cephalothin, Cotrimoxazole, Ciprofloxacin, Chloramphenicol, Gentamicin and Levofloxacin Her Gynea prescribe Augmentin 2g per day for 6 days. I was tested for HIV Rapid test March 13,2008 (22 weeks) negative results. Recently I started experiencing some dull pain in my testicles again and did an STD test (blood). Siphyllis, Gonnorea negative. Chlamydia Serological test positive. GP's note 1.
Avatar n tn There are several bacterial resistant strains of typhoid that have developed. Continue your medication protocol and be in touch with your physician. It is likely he will prescribe another antibiotic. Augmentin may not be appropriate. Follow his advice. Drink grapefruit juice with the antibiotic.
Avatar n tn ve seen deterioration to an extent that it turned to bacterial infection with pus and blood oozing out. I also had persistent low-grade fever. I contacted my local GP and he prescribed Augmentin 625mg/ three times a day for a week. He also drained the pus and recommended daily bandage change. Taking the first pill alone killed the fever but the pus hasn't improved much. Is the treatment regimen fine or should I see some dermatologist?
Avatar n tn t see them again until last night (probably 7 months since the last time), so that made me wonder if it was a bacterial infection which the Augmentin cured. However, it seems quite suspect that it would come back when I started taking Bactrim, so that is what makes me think this is related. So, does this sound like something that could be caused by the Bactrim? I am going to stop taking it, but in the mean time should I continue to use the Cortizone cream?
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working. I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18. Thank you!!
Avatar m tn This is not a STD and has become more resistant to medications. Follow up with your Dr.
Avatar f tn Hello, I had a sore throat with swollen lymph nodes and I found out I had some sort of strep beta-hemolytic bacterial infection that isn't group A, C, or G. Due to a recent oral sex encounter, I got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia in the throat. Those swabs were done with the Aptima Combo 2 Assay and came back negative. I took azithromycin and rocephin injection as a precaution (before the swab results came back), and am currently taking Augmentin to get rid of the strep.
Avatar n tn However, If it persists, diagnostic tests such as blood tests and direct physical examination may need to be done. Antibiotics may be indicated for bacterial infections. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Anyone have a good opinion on best antibiotics combo for across the board prevention of the bacterial STDs. What I mean is say u were exposed to something potentially risky and figure i may as well take post-exposure antibiotics. Which are gram positive STDS. Which are G negative. What combo is best to take care of everything non-viral?
Avatar m tn I thought that I had a bacterial infection from cunnilingus so I took antibiotics(Augmentin) oral for 7 days.The fever and the sore throat ceased after Augmentin.After 1 week I started to suddenly lose weight ,to have night sweats all over my body and to feel very very tired.I have done many medical tests. The ESR and CRP are slightly elevated. HIV test at 4 weeks- negative. Virus Epstein-Barr VCA IgM-Antibodies are 2066 (normal <20).
Avatar n tn Hello, The symptoms that you are having are due to sinusitis. (Inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose (paranasal sinuses) is referred to as sinusitis). The golden rule for chronic stuffy nose is steam inhalation. Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot (but not boiling water) may help to soften, and loosen, the build up of mucus in your nose. Use an over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant combined with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever) like Ibuprofen.
Avatar m tn I live in an are of NJ in which Lyme Disease is not uncommon. I removed an intact tick from my left shoulder blade area about 8 months ago. I didn't develop a "bulls-eye" rash but in the center - where the tick had actually been attached - there was a very dark red-brown surrounded by a thin whitish line and then a large red area around that. The area was sometimes itchy and sore and lasted for several weeks.
