Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin for upper respiratory infection
augmentin
m a male, possibly exposed from receiving unprotected oral a few days before a serious upper respiratory infection. Mostly worried due to ache/pain on tip of penis. Am currently on Augmentin 875mg/125mg (Amoxicillin Clavulanate) twice a day for 10 days.

2) how soon could I be accurately tested for STD's?
I have a really bad sinus and upper respiratory infection and the medication I was prescribed (augmentin) isn't getting rid of it. I was wondering if anyone knows of any medications I can take that will just make my nose stop running.
If you have a viral infection like EBV or infectious mononucleosis then antibiotics will be of no help. So test for this infection. It can be any other viral infection, dengue, H1N1 and all these will not respond to antibiotics. Fungal infections in the body too can present similarly and need to be identified by scratch tests for fungus. A variety of drugs can cause drug fevers. Many cancers too cause recurrent respiratory infections.
s going on. The low IgG can definitely lead to chronic recurring upper respiratory infection. There are four subtypes of IgG 1,2,3,and 4,IgG2 deficiency being the one that causes the most problems in children especially if there is a simultaneous deficiency of IgA,to confuse stuff more there is four other types of immunoglobins other than IgG. There is also IgA,IgD,IgE and IgM,each having multiple subsets.

Infections usually start out as upper respiratory infections, such as from a cold and then travel down into your lungs (lower respiratory infection). Other times it's from getting the flu and a secondary infection sets in, such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis. Other times you could get acute bronchitis from being exposed to a lot of irritants in the air (such as wood dust, heavy pollution etc).
They then put in a pic line and gave me 3 daily doses of gentamyacin , and 10 days of zosyn . ( zosyn ran for 20 hrs per day and genta for 1hr) .

After recovering from a serious upper respiratory infection (Amox with Augmentin prescribed), I broke out in a terribly itchy rash. At first it appeared to be like scabies, so was treated for that. Then, at times it was hive like (even the scratches raised up like hives). It is not everywhere, underarms, breasts, naval, lower abdomen, back. chest, shoulders, wrists, hands. There are many small bumps mixed with bigger hive like bumps. Very, very itchy. Calamine helps.
s forums. White phlegm when coughed up is consistent with an upper respiratory infection the vast majority of the time. https://comments.medicinenet.com/what_is_mucus/patient-comments-5247.htm.
When phlegm is associated with cancer, it may be green but is most often red which can be red in color or brown as it mixes with white more normal mucus. This is because cancer often bleeds. https://www.cancer.
Doctor prescribed Prednisone,Zithromax, Acyclovir [for cold sores] and Clindamycin cap 300 mg for sinus infection. Just lately I got acid reflux.... hard to swallow... even when I did it was bad... slight burning to severe burning feeling on the left hand side of my mid upper chest area. I went back again to see the doctor who told me the coughing, wheezing [which now both had stopped... nearly completely] from the sinus infection is proobably the causes of it. He now prescribed AdipHex....

My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection). 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.
Dear Doctor,
Thank you for your insight on my symptoms. I have an appointment to see an ENT doctor next Tuesday (I hope I can wait until then). Now, the "infection" has spread into the upper respiratory area and I am coughing up mucous as well as it coming from my nose.
I did mean to say resistant to antibiotics - thank you for pointing this out.
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!!
