Avatar m tn Avelox and Omnicef are usually for for respiratory infections, and might cure ngu or chlamydia, but probably not gonorrhea. Have you been seen for your discharge and burning?
Avatar m tn DTP stands for Diptheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (not Polio). Once you are an adult, you would not get the DTP or DTaP since it is reccomended only for children up to age 7. If you have never had any Tetanus vaccinations, you would want to ask your doctor about starting a series of Td shots to get the basic immunity. After that, you would get one every ten years.
Avatar f tn From what I understand, older adults may no longer have strong immunity to Pertussis. With certain vaccines, I think for adults they are adding the Pertussis back into it, if you so choose, but I'm not 100%sure. Also, not sure if this is a recommendation by the Pediatricians or your daughter.
4591205 tn?1410605174 My mom told me I should get a pertussis vaccination before I have the baby. Has anyone else done this??
1373852 tn?1307843048 side effects are you talking about? Avelox is a great antibiotic for resp. infections. I have taken it many times and I am a nurse. It is expensive though. Do you smoke? If so, the phlegm is probably building b/c your cilia cannot clear your airway any longer.
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed a dose pack of Prednisone for 6 days and plan on going to the Orthopaedic doctor for consult. I have only been walking and trying to take it easy. Just normal house stuff. No heavy lifting or exercising until I get a recommendation. Have you seen this type of tendonitis onset before?
Avatar f tn For us in the Philippines, the pertussis vaccine is part of the babies vaccination at 2 months old. Just avoid sick coughing people as much as possible.
1231236 tn?1267562898 I have had a cough for over 5 weeks now. I wasn't sick and it basically popped up out of no where. I haven't ran a fever at all. I went to the doctor, and my throat isn't swollen or sore, and my lungs are clear. When I cough I stop breathing. Its as if my throat closes up completely. It takes me a a bit to catch my breath, but before I am able to, my chest goes to hurting from not being able to breathe. Once I am finally able to breathe again, I feel exhausted.
Avatar f tn When it was done, i still needed an inhaler for a year. I am a tough cookie and it really knocked me for a loop. I do NOT recommend anyone chance finding out.
Avatar n tn He has recieved pertussis immuization. He coughs so much he vomits. There is conflict of doctor opinion regarding asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, and pertussis since this started just after his last immunization and the immunization might not have been effective. He is fighting the mask for asthma so much it seems it will do him no good. What is your advice regarding diagnosis and treatment?
Avatar f tn He had not yet received his vaccine for pertussis (whooping cough). I of course got both the flu shot and the tdap at my 28 week appointment. He was so sick. I will not risk my newborn baby girl's health who us due in December right in the middle of the sick season. I do not want to go through that again.
Avatar n tn It is a one-time booster with the pertussis vaccine in it to boost your immunity to pertussis (or whooping cough). Kids get the Dtap vaccination up until age 7, after which you get the Td shot. Pertussis immunity in older adolescents and adults has waned and that is why the Tdap is now reccomended.
1271018 tn?1296536826 Vaccinated adolescents and adults may serve as reservoirs for silent infection and become potential transmitters to unprotected infants (3-11). The whole-cell vaccine for pertussis is protective only against clinical disease, not against infection (15-17). Therefore, even young, recently vaccinated children may serve as reservoirs and potential transmitters of infection.
Avatar n tn I have had a problem for years with swelling in my feet and ankles. Traveling, warm weather make it worse. I have noticed a pattern which I was reminded of recently, and that is whenever I take a round of antibiotics, it relieves the swelling for a while. I finished a 10 day course on Avelox about a week and a half ago, and so far have had no swelling. Does anybody have any idea why this happens?
Avatar f tn Ciprofloxacin, Avelox, Levaquin, norefloxacin, etc) cause, instead of choosing to diagnose each symptom individually?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with pneumonia 4 days ago when I went in for pain in my heart area and shortness in breath.. I'm on antibiotics, still can't cough anything out but today I started feeling pain in my lower back area where kidneys are. I urinate every 10, 15 minutes and the color in clear.. My mouth is dry all the time which I think is a side effect from the antibiotics. Could have the pneumonia caused issues in my kidneys or bladder???
Avatar f tn TDaP stands for Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis. Pertussis is whooping cough. This vaccine gives you protection of all three of these diseases. By getting vaccinated while pregnant, your body forms antigens which cross the plecenta and to the baby meaning your baby will also be immune to the diseases.
660680 tn?1225215237 A few days after the exposure I statrted taking an antibiotic, Avelox, for a sinus issue. Over the weekend I statrted to itch but with no visible signs of a rash. The question I have is this an early sign of HIV infection? Were my blood tests too close to exposure and therefore worthless? Is the "itch" a possible adverse reaction to the Avelox. I stopped taking the antibiotic today. Just overly concerned and need some reassurance that I have not contracted HIV.
Avatar n tn For many years I have pains that pop up for no reason in joints and muscles and last for usually three to six months and then vanish. I get rashes and tiny red spots on my shins and then clear up. The rashes last about the same three to six months. I had these pains in both my shoulders at once, which almost never happens, so I thought it was my rotator cuffs going due to the work that I do.
973741 tn?1342342773 html The previous version of the pertussis vaccine, previously given as the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) was more effective, but the side effects weren't great, and people got whooping cough. You'll note that now, your doctor will recommend a DTaP booster - the lowercase "a" is for "acellular," which, while less effective, prevents transmission of the disease from the vaccine.
Avatar f tn I'm 26 weeks and my OB said I needed to get a Tdap shot for pertussis and so does anyone else that is going to be around the baby. I work for 5 doctors and they all say the samething. I told my parents and all they did was laugh. Is anyone else making their family get one?
Avatar f tn t get the Tdap until they are older abs it contains the pertussis vaccine. Pertussis is on the rise and can be fatal to an infant if they get it.
Avatar f tn My last tetanus (Td) shot was in 2007 (9 years ago). I asked my doctor if I can have my booster shot now before I lose my health insurance in a few weeks. He told me that since I wasn't due for a booster until next year that I would have to wait (and therefore pay for it out of pocket). Is there really a danger in getting a booster a few months early, or is he just being a jerk?
Avatar f tn It's part of the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine (Dtap-diptheria, Tetanus, And pertussis) . It's fine. They usually do it around 28 weeks.
1657910 tn?1302372061 They tested me for TB- negative, the lab messed up the test for cat stratch fever and tested for pertussis so need to go give blood again to rule that out as cause of GM. (Interesting thing is that 2 of the levels of pertussis came back high and I have never had pertussis in my life, so now I need to figure that out.) And also, she wants me to get a second opinion from another breast surgeon to see if she is missing anything surgically, etc. I totally trust her and have agreed.
