Common Questions and Answers about Avelox for sore throat

avelox

Avatar m tn Went to see a couple of doctors and they think it is sinus infection - so went on two anti-biotic treatments (Augmentin 10 days - which did not work, then Avelox 14 days). Just finished the Avelox course, but still having some post nasal drip and sore throat. But generally feeling better. Question: How would you assess the risk of this encounter for STD's and HIV in particular? Does female ejaculate fluid contain the HIV virus? What about other STD's?
Avatar f tn I have had walking pneumonia for 3 weeks. I took two Z packs and I'm 5 days into my Doxycycline and I still feel bad. I have no energy and my throat still hurts. I can't take Avelox or anything in that family because I am allergic to them. How long does it normally take to start feeling better on Doxy? Maybe I just haven't been taking it long enough? When do you think I'll start to feel normal again?
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 f tn 4 days after Amoxicillin, pain came back. Started same way, sore Left side throat, red swollen gum around the tooth, hard white bump, ? Fistula - maybe a piece of bone, painful. Made appt w/ Oral Surg, Rx'd more Amoxicillin, which eventually helped swelling go down. At appt., did x-ray, not catscan. He did not see anything wrong. But, on physical exam of the wisdom tooth, thought he found crack in tooth, below gumline.

Avatar n tn After about 3-4 days of being together with a lady i got a throat problem, I did not have a sore throat, it was more like swelling around neck, neck glands were swollen and I had a really bad case of swollen uvula and some redness around it with some small white patches. I am typically non-drinker and do not smoke. But on holidays, I did have around 5-7 tonics each night going out.
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 I have had asthma for a every long time and my throat is swollen so it is even harder for me the breathe in this weather which temperature is up to 90 degrees F. It feels like i have something stuck in my throat and no way to get it unstuck. I also have a very difficult time swallowing, and every time i drink any type of drink my throat seem to get dry and it is very annoying. If there is any fast cure please post a to this.
1265027 tn?1284839951 this sensation lasted for a while and then had some feeling of swelling in my throat. no other symptoms . no coughing, no bleeding, no fevers...NOTHING! this lasted 4 weeks (onand off) until i went to the ENT and he did a rhinoscopeno fun at all) and said my throat was swollen and said its reflux. he put me on Omeprozole (sp) 40mg 1 time a day. it seemed to work a little bit. i avoid all the trigger foods...ie, coffee, chocolate, onions, friend foods...
Avatar m tn I have not been tested for that. I have numerous doctors tell me acid reflux, but I have been on meds for that for months. I guess I have large amounts of drainage from my nose and at night it sit in my throat. I cough up mucus at times, and now some of the mucus has blood on it. All of it comes from my throat cuz I can tell my chest feels clear.
Avatar m tn Took it for about a day and a half and it really did nothing because by Friday afternoon I had a tremendous ear ache in right ear. The sore throat was gone but in return I felt like I was underwater. By Friday night I was in bed with mega pain I haven't felt in a long time. Finally as the pain increased, so did this constant "swooshing" in both ears, obviously fluid, and after a few hours the levy broke and the fluid started to drain from both ears.
Avatar f tn Before having the surgery I had sore throat pain, like a dry throat in the morning on the right side, and pain in the right ear for months but ear was always clear. After this horrific surgery, the ENT said I've recoved... but I still have the throat pain and the ear still hurts. He insists there is no infection or swelling in the ear. I am beyond frustrated! I'm tired of being sick and tired, literally, and I'm sure people are tired of hearing me complain too!
Avatar m tn This can in turn irritate the throat lining. You need to send the sputum or throat swab for culture, microscopy, staining to rule out the specific pathogen with antibiotic sensitivity and should also take chest radiograph. Antibiotic sensitivity of culture will decide the effective drug. Persistent yellow mucus is a sign that our body is being attacked by either a bacteria or a virus.
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 Hi and so sorry you have this problem. Do you have pus in your throat and/o a high fever? There is an anaerobic (grows without oxygen) bacteria that can be in your throat normally or can cause chronic sore throat. It is called Fusobacterium necrophorum. It isn't always seen in the throat and the regular antibiotics wouldn't work on it You may need metronidazole. That is if you are not allergic to it.
Avatar n tn When my sinuses are not congested, my nose is runny. My voice sounds like a cross between Marge Simpson and the Godfather. My left side is so sore,.
Avatar f tn The headaches have been for months I just thought they were migraines and my throat was sore do to the on and off sinus probs and colds. I had to get a new pcp and I can't see him till Monday and the zpac helped some but I took the last one yesterday and I am still pretty bad with my lymph nodes. I called a nurse thru my insurance and she wants me to go to a urgent care today to maybe get more antibiotics and get reevalutated but I will not go back to the ER i was seen in.
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 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 m tn I have sore throat for around 6 months. I think it all started with some sort of allergy because I would only have it when I was at home, generally any dust would make it worse. I moved out and my throat stopped being so sore but its still bad.. I feel like it is very sensitive. I also feel like saliva/mucus is licking down the throat.. Sometimes it has a bad (sort of rotten..
