augmentin

Avatar m tn I have suffered from chronic sinusitis for years. My ENT said I have under developed sinuses that are about the width of a pencil. I suffered a really bad sinus infection back in 2007, I couldn't breathe or swallow right. My sinuses felt like cement. I didn't want to take any of the steroid nasal sprays because they can dry your nose & I take bad nose bleeds. I went to a health food store nearby & the person who owned it said she too had chronic sinusitis.
Avatar n tn I went to the dentist and had xrays and he tapped on my teeth and blew air on them. I was on augmentin for a week,nothing. Could it be tmj or should I go back to the doctor?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with sinus infection about 3 weeks ago. I took augmentin 875mg/twice a day for 7 days. The symptom went away after taking the med, and it just came back again after 7 days. Please help....!
480448 tn?1426948538 I have already made an appt for Wed with an ENT, as it seems that this Sphenoid sinusitis is nothing to mess around with. I have NEVER had headaches last this long...with NO relief from anything. Ear infection common with this...or could this be a complication? I just started on Augmentin 875mg twice daily for 10 days...any other ideas...any OTC meds I can take that could reduce the pressure? Geez, instead of the docs telling me that my CT in the Spring was "normal"...
Avatar m tn She got tested before she went to college and was clean but we had sex after she had been at college for a semester. I was inside her for about 10 seconds before I realized either way it was stupid. I was fine until feb.12 I noticed tears in the skin in between my scrotum and thigh. I got a headache too no fever. So initially I thought herpes. I went to my doctor he said that it looked more like jock itch. I got some lotrimin and that cleared up.
Avatar m tn I have gone to many doctors and they diagnosed me with a sinus infection/sinusitis. After taking augmentin I still felt horrible after a week and a half. I had a sinus x-ray done and the results cameback normal? No sinus infection? I am 14 years old and I am feeling so bad I'm getting behind on schoolwork and I'm tired all the time. I have lost 6 pounds since july or august and very skinny, my parents are afraid I am getting annorexic.
Avatar f tn ” With “never drainage/congestion/fever” and “never gets congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip, etc” and a borderline normal CT scan, the evidence for chronic sinusitis is scant. The American Academy of Otolaryngology (ENT) classifies sinus symptoms as follows: Major: Facial pressure, congestion, nasal obstruction, a runny nose and a reduced sense of smell. And, Minor: Headache, fever, halitosis, fatigue, dental pain, cough and ear pain.
Avatar n tn You need a cortizone nasal spray and also antibiotics for 7-10 days. Augmentin is the best but there is also Amoxicillin, Bactrum, etc.... If you wait to late it can turn into bronchitis or ear infection and ear infections are very painful if you have ever had one. If that infection does not clear up after antibiotics then you need a CT scan like I had. You have have a polyps or you may need your sinuses opened to be drained.
Avatar f tn The problem is most likely due to excessive and chronic attack of sinusitis. Take a proper course of antibiotics like Augmentin. Take inhalational steam and anti allergics. If there is a deviated nasal sinus, get the surgical correction. All other symptoms and the troubles would be corrected simultaneously.
Avatar m tn My urine sample came back negative for bacteria and the doctor just told me the skin is just irritated. He said it is balanitis and he said to keep it dry and put baby oil on it. Do you think that it will get better if I do those things?
Avatar f tn Please start antibiotic therapy with augmentin as you are having sinusitis along with swollen glands. Your symptoms suggest viral etiology, do consult doctor and get investigations done.
Avatar f tn For the past 2 1/2 weeks have been having trouble seeing straight. If I use one eye things look pretty normal, both eyes it's fairly dizzying.Seeing doubles by evening, not one next to another, but when looking at the tv, an individual will have another face on their chest. Have seen my opthamologist - not my eyes. Seen the PCP, he's at a loss.
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!!
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 I recently had sinusitis and the doctor put me on Z-Pac. The Z-Pac didn't work and he put me on Augmentin. I finished all my antibiotics 6 days ago. Yesterday I noticed that I had a little white dried skin at the tip of my penis and the area was red. Additionally I have a small red dot that is white in the middle around the same area. I don't feel any difference down there and the only reason I noticed was because I was washing myself in the shower.
Avatar m tn Usually seven days is required to see clinical benefit in severe sinusitis infection. If it stays worse for more than a week then further evaluation is required. Ideally, endoscopically-guided culture could be performed to determine the effective antibiotic and should be started without delay. As an empirical therapy, its better to start with augmentin, this is already been done in your case. Otherwise levofloxacin can be effective alternative.
Avatar n tn t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.
Avatar f tn So far, what you have listed as your symptoms do not, in and of themselves, meet standard criteria for acute bacterial sinusitis. This may explain why you haven't responded to the several different antibiotics you were treated with (some of these I would consider useless for sinusitis, others should be highly effective). You cannot be "immune" to antibiotics. Some bacteria are resistent to some antibiotics, but that's different. I suspect that that is what you meant.
Avatar f tn m about to lose my mind over this, as it is so aggravating and annoying. I have been to an ear, nose, throat specialist twice. He put me on Augmentin for 10 days, plus a precscription antacid. He thought I had "Silent Reflux".......meaning I have no heartburn or any other symptoms, but that the acid was skipping my stomach and going to my throat, basically. This did not work. The next appt., he put a tube with the camera down my nose and looked at my throat. He saw nothing.
Avatar m tn I should add that I was prescribed Augmentin at the same time post operatively for a knee arthroscope and wondered whether this could interfere with the efficacy of the azithromycin?
Avatar f tn At least 3 times each night we both wake up (alternating times) not being able to breath, choking and gasping for air. We do produce some clear sticky mucus sometimes. Our airways are closing up while sleeping (inclined mind you). Also during waking hours maybe 3-5 times per day this happens. The rest of the time, we're just fine, even during exercise.
Avatar f tn I was sick last week, chills, aches, unbelievable fatigue. Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.
Avatar f tn I went to my doctor when experiencing thick post nasal drip, dizziness, puffy eye and she diagnosed me with a sinus infection and put me on augmenten for 10 days. The mucus is now clear but the thick clear sticky post nasal drip is still chronic. I'm constantly snorting and spitting up mucus. I went to the ENT and he prescribed Nasonex and Mucinex. But it did not help. He then did a scope and found an abudnance of thick sticky mucus and he suctioned some of it out.
