zithromax

Avatar n tn It is usually not the drug of choice for UTI but is mostly used in otitis media (infection of the middle ear), tonsillitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar n tn I suffered Otitis Media in late September, which was temporarily controlled by Amoxicillin. The Otitis returned in September, and I had to undergo a second round of antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin) , before it was finally brought under control. However, ever since then I have been left with persistent Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, daily headaches (pressure band across forehead and temples), dizziness, and general malaise and fatigue, with no sign of arriving at a definitive diagnosis.
Avatar f tn what kind of ear infection do you have? Do you have otitis media (an infection of the middle ear, with pressure behind your eardrum) or do you have swimmer's ear - an infection of the ear canal that comes from swimming in too much chlorine?
Avatar n tn hi,viral infections leads to accumulation of fluid in middle ear(serous otitis media) which causes the symptoms which you are facing.Treatment is anti histaminics,decongestants mainly.Even after getting this treatment,if symptoms persists,brain MRI is indicated to rule out other causes.
Avatar m tn The sensation is not only fullness, but has the feeling of Otitis Media which I was quite familiar with as a child. This is why I suspected there might be evidence in the inner(middle) ear. Apparently not.
Avatar f tn It only hurts on the outside so I know for a fact it is not otitis media. I just put hydrogen peroxide on where I picked at it and I can hear it bubbling. I looked in the mirror to see that my ear was red. I never had anything like this and I am seeing my doctor next week, but right now I am anxious. It only hurts when I touch it and when I lie down on a pillow. Does anyone have a clue what this could be? It's so new to me...the only ear disorder that I am familiar with is otitis media.
Avatar f tn 3 weeks ago I went to an emergency clinic because I was experiencing severe dizziness and stuffiness/pressure in my ears. I was diagnosed with otitis media with effusion. I was prescribed Amoxicillin 500mg 3x's a day for 10 days. That treatment didn't clear my symptoms, so I was then prescribed a 5 day treatment of Azithromycin 250mg. I finished that treatment 3 days ago, and the symptoms cleared for a day, but are now back.
Avatar n tn hi,this could be otitis media along with cervical spondyolosis.Otitis media is collection of fluid which is usually a sequelae to viral infection.Cervical spondylosis is degenerative disease of cervical vertebrae. Although,headache is associated with otitis media but restriction or pain during neck movement is rarely seen.Otitis media is treated with antibiotics,anti histaminics along with analgesics.
Avatar m tn also the pain and pressure is in both ears. has anyone else had this? does this sound like otitis media? or could it be labyrinthitis?
Avatar n tn If it is too inflamed, an ear wick can be placed to assist the drops in getting all the way in. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Lyme and Syphilis tests were negative (though the p14 protein in case of Lyme disease test was positive). I had a very bad otitis media in February-March 2015. After that, a tinnitus remained in my right ear. Now, the otitis reappeared (both ears). Besides these investigations, I went to the psychiatry and took meds for anxiety and depression with no results. Actually, they worsen my condition.

Avatar m tn Whups, I wrote "inner ear" above, but my antibiotics prescription says "otitis media", so I guess it's the middle ear that's affected.
Avatar m tn i went to the ENT specialist yesterday and he said that I have otitis media. I was able to tell him also that I have been dizzy (feeling of floating) for almost a month since ive started using treatments for my sinusitis. My balance is okay and I don't have that ear pain in both ears. Its just that the "floating feeling" isnt tolerable these past few days. It hinders me in getting my work done. Please help me find a cure for these. Hoping for your replies guys. Thank you.
Avatar m tn However discharge may also be caused by a minor irritation or infection. The common causes of ear discharge are eczema, otitis externa, otitis media, mastoiditis or a ruptured or perforated eardrum. An ear examination may be helpful for determining the correct cause of your symptoms. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.

Avatar f tn html Whether you should take it for a sinus infection is a better question. Sinusitis is second behind otitis media as the most over-diagnosed condition here in the States. Most people who say or even have been told by their doctor that they have sinusitis, in fact don't. I know this because of the huge number of people who get referred to me with this diagnosis, who upon CT scanning, don't have sinusitis.
Avatar m tn I think, this problem of yours goes in the favor of Acute Suppurative Otitis Media. This condition appears because of the closure of the eustachian tube following common cold. Due to which there is negative pressure created inside the middle ear and the inflammatory exudates get accumulated. Once this exceeds the pressure, the ear drum gives way and one experiences discharge from the ear.
Avatar m tn Hello everyone, I am 17 years old male and for the last 4 days I've been sick with otitis media. Mostly everyday I've got high fever (like 100-101 F). My normal blood pressure is around 120/80, but since I am sick it is 138/82.. Can it be that the illness causes my bp to rise or something? I also feel palps sometimes, dunno if that can also be caused by the illness...
Avatar n tn re probably have an upper respiratory track infection (not HIV related) and it causing your middle ear to develop another infection/Acute Otitis Media=middle ear infection, this can happen because there's a link via a tract from your pharyng to your middle ear. About your groin discomfort, I can't tell you anything but certainly it's not HIV related too... Just go to your GP and discuss your symptoms with him/her... Be well GOD Bless!
Avatar m tn Recurrent or chronic fever is seen in typhoid, tuberculosis, hepatitis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and other auto immune disorders, UTI, drug fever, sinusitis, glandular fever, otitis media, IBS, HIV, STDs, endocarditis, parasitic infestations (like malaria), fungal infections, lymphomas and other cancers etc. It can even be diabetes and hyperthyroidism.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm curious if you were able to see the doctor about this and what they said! My understanding is that this could be something as simple as a pimple. Sign, pimples. What a pain! But also something like 'swimmer's ear'. Acute otitis media also could cause it. Since she was sick in general, I hope the doctor was able to diagnose her. I'd be really curious what the outcome was.
Avatar n tn I know this is an old question, but if you've never had anyone check, you may want to ask your ENT to make sure you don't have a cholesteatoma in that ear, as these can be signs of one.
