I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
It works great for me. But I was recently prescribed a ZPack (azithromycin) for sinusitis. I read that taking these together can cause serious heart rhythm problems. I just finished the ZPack but very fearful of taking the Hydroxizine...just another health anxiety issue it is a vicious cycle...anyone know how long should I wait to take the hydroxizine?
Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) is also an appropriate first-line treatment of uncomplicated acute sinusitis. Other options include cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin) and cefuroxime (Ceftin). In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin. So, if you are allergic to the penicillin group your doctor could have prescribed Bactrim for you. Regards.
So, I am out of country (mexico) I got presribed to texis azitromicina for treatment of
Hi Jason,
Sorry you've been sick, and I know how you feel. I've been having chronic and acute sinusitis and infections for 30+ years. I had surgery to open up things about 18 years ago and it really helped; I went from 6-8 to 1-3 infections per year.
That said, I wanted to list the symptoms of my latest, current, infection, for which I am on the third dose of antibiotics. Some Facebook friends also reported having relapses and similar symptoms.
I'm 10 weeks 5 days. Two days ago I got a horrible toothache.. I went to the dentist and they took xrays and did tests and concluded it's not my teeth. It progressively got worse so that night I went to ER and they prescribed Azithromycin for a sinus infection. It has almost been 48 hours since I started the antibiotic and I have had ZERO relief. No improvement whatsoever. Called doc back today and they suggested I try Sudafed.. and still nothing.
drink plenty of fluids, if you feel worse go to the doc I just got over it and they gave me Azithromycin and codeine cough med..
i have a very very persistent sinus allergy. nose blocks all the time over a year now and getting worse! i have been prescribed all this **** and none of it seems to work. all i have is my nose that gets blocked so often that i have to breathe with mouth and also have a permanent sore throat. currently in indiana. If someone can give me professional advice or recommend a specialist it would be appreciated!!! As i think my condition keeps getting worse.
I went to the doctor last night and I have sinusitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis and hay fever and a really bad head cold. I need to know if the medicine they gave me is still ok to take cuz I need it but can't talk to a doctor till Monday. They gave me azithromycin, abuterol inhaler, and claritin-d generic.
than next month I had another bronchitis and received a treatment with klacid again and the doctor told me I had a beginning of sinusitis and gave azithromycin..on the end of november I saw little bumps at the base of my penis..after I had shaved than it spread to about 20-25 pieces on the groin...I went to doctor and he said that I had molluscum but I do not know I got it because my girlfriend did not have any lesions on her..after 95 days (12 weeks)later from my last sexual relation.
But sometimes, infected tooth roots from the upper teeth can go inside the maxillary sinus and cause sinusitis. This in turn can cause a post nasal drip and an irritation in the throat. Also, if you do have an infected tooth, you will still need to have this addressed as dental infections can be potentially life-threatening.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Do you know what dose of antibiotics he took? 1000 mg of azithromycin is the treatment for chlamydia and NGU, and you'd have to be treated for that.
It would probably be 2 or 4 pills, or a nasty powder they mix with water.
They wouldn't give him that for a bump, unless they are incompetent.
I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
0 grams (4 500 mg pills) taken at one time is just as effective as penicillin for syphilis treatment however, there are some cases of treatment failures with azithromycin for syphilis treatment and many of the treatment failures have come from San Francisco where you apparently live. Thus this is a matter of concern.
While many people will be cured by therapy of early syphilis with azithromycin, the dose you have received is not the recommended dose.
I read online that the combination of Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin can be dangerous. Is this still the case, if the last Ciprodose was one week before the 2g Azithromycin dose?
The first one is going into eyes (bellow eyes) and second into maxillary sinusitis. It is very painful. I had to find out the cause for my sinusitis with steady eyes and jaw pains. It was long time to come to atypical trigeminal neuralgia. Now I have to find out how to threat this neuralgia?
If you want I can send you drawings of the two branches!
I have terrible pressure from the top of the head into eyes holes and thought always there is only sinusitis.
I have read lots of your post concerning biaxin and azithromycin and whether they cure syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. I have found that biaxin is chemically different than azithromycin but biologically same at killing bacteria as azithromycin. On some post you say that azithromycin or clarithromycin(biaxin) would cure all the bacterial stds then in others you state that there could be some problems.

Done my bloodwork this morning, and the doctor told me that it's definitely a viral infection. T Cell count is 24, Thrombocytes 229, Eythrocytes 5.7. I immediately thought of HIV when he mentioned "viral", since the number of SWs with a slipagge and a burst that happened. But I guess you're right about the cold, which leads to my sinusitis right about now. I don't have no fever anymore, thankfully. I was given Azithromycin, hopefully i get better mentally and physically.
Hey guys. I have had a sore throat for 3 or more weeks now. I'm a hypochondriac so it is worrying me more than it would normal people, I'm sure.
The soreness is dull and is most noticeable when breathing. The feeling is between my collarbone and Adam's Apple in my throat. The only other real symptom I have is heart palpitations or a consciousness of my heart beating in my throat occasionally.
