zithromax

It is now Saturday, my daughter was diagnosed with strep throat Wednesday night and started amoxicillin in the urgent care, Friday afternoon she broke out in a itchy rash...mostly on her torso but some on her legs, neck, and arms. She has been on amoxicillin several times before from ear infections when she was little. The only difference with that is it is no longer pink (the amoxicillin).

I was diagonosed with strep throat Friday afternoon, and have had major fevers over 101 degrees since Thursday. Are migraines a typical symptom for strep throat? I've been on Azithromycin since Saturday, and my tonsils are more swollen now then before. The migraines are excruciating and have yet to go away either.

I was diagnosed with Strep Throat about 2 weeks ago. I went one week taking Amoxicillin 3 times a day. By the next Monday, I was worse. I called my doctor, who changed me to Azithromycin. My laryngitis is better. Most of the sore throat is gone. However, I still have sore swollen glands, and I still have a large white pocket in my throat (Next to my Faucial Pillars). Is this typical? How long should I give it for the white patch and gland stuff to go away?

My son has had strep throat 6 times this year.He has had it 4 times since July 9th.He was put on 10 days of antibiotics and then he went back for another test.It was positive.He then was on another 10 days of omnicef as they said that maybe it wasnt enough for him so in total he had 20 days of omnicef.He then went back again after 10 days and tested positive again.He was then given clindamyacin for another 10 days and came back after that and tested positive again.

Z-packs (azithromycin = Zithromax) have worked quite well for my daughter's strep infections. Z-pac is usually a five day course of antibiotic that lasts for ten days. I would recommend that if you are not feeling better by day five that you go ahead and call the dr's office and see what they recommend. You definitely want the infection to be gone by the time your antibiotic stops working. Some people take a steroid to help with the inflamation in the throat.

Azithromycin has active ingredients of azithromycin. It is used in sinusitis, infection, bronchitis, strep throat, pneumonia. Commonly reported side effects of Azithromycin include pain, nausea, stress and anxiety, breathing difficulty, fever.There are side effects of diarrhea, that can linger. Zantac can also upset the stomach.

This relative recently went to the doctor complaining of a very bad soar throat. They received flu shots earlier this year, and no signs of strep throat seem visually present. I personally suspect a cold. If it is in fact viral, the doctor wants to use azithromycin now to prevent possible respiratory infection or bronchitis.

Well, it may not be strep if he hasn't done a strep test or culture. Do you have pus in your throat or did you? Do you have a high fever/ He is probably just treating for a variety of bacteria. Yes if you haven't cleared the sore throat and ear infection (which could also be viral. You should really get cultures done if it hasn't cleared or clarify if he thinks it is viral but is treating empircally to make sure you don't get a secondary infection such as pneumonia.

I need some clarity ... for the last 3 months I've come down with strep, pneumonia and acute pharyngitis. About a week ago I went down on my boyfriend n he ended up gettin burning when urinating n penile discharge he went to his dr stated that he has chlamydia. I had recently on the 11 of july had my annual, pap and everthing normal for me.

I couldn't swallow, eat, was running a 103* fever at its worst, was weak to my knees, and had white spots in the back of my throat. This was confirmed to be strep by a rapid test which was + for strep bacteria. I was given a Z pak, but when I was feeling worse a day after starting the regimen, I returned to the Dr. and was given an antibiotic injection and put on a steroid pack. 6 days after exposure to strep bacteria, and 3 days after becoming sick, I was fine again.

I have been having alternating throat pain for about 2 weeks now. It is typically in the evenings and one night is on the right the next on the left near the glands. Only other symptom is excessive "sleep" in my eyes in the morning. Any ideas? I did a google search but only found things on homeopathic remedies for alternating throat pain, no causes.

usually it's strep throat but since you've been on antibiotics, hard to tell which is why being seen is a good idea. no real reason to think oral herpes.

My 8 year old daughter has a reoccuring throat infection that requires antibiotics. She took 7 or 8 rounds of it last year and again this year seems to be getting it again. I do not want her to build up antibodies or become allergic to it. I know antibiotics are good here and there, but too much isn't good for you and if I can find a way to help her avoid her throat infections, I'd like to eliminate the need for antibiotics.

I recently found out that I had a bacterial infection but due to all my symptoms they had no idea what it was til they ran three tests on me. The checked me for strep throat, flu dabs in my nose, and took blood to see if I had mono. After all these tests were negative they said bacterial infection and gave my zithromycin (can't spell it). Here was my symptoms, I had an unbelievably bad sinus headache along with an earache and sore throat.

Initial oral herpes primarily has multiple painful sores inside the mouth, including the throat -- not just a sore throat. As for the azithromycin Z-pak, of course it did not help. The vast majority of sore throats are due to respiratory viruses, and no virus responds to azithromycin or any other antibiotic. They just have to clear up on their own. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days, sometimes a few weeks.

Usually, a sore throat caused by a run of the mill virus like a cold wouldn't cause the swollen tongue, swollen lymph nodes but could cause the slight ear and throat problems. But Strep throat can cause serious problems so since you had it a couple of times in addition to the swollen lymph nodes I would see the ENT. Usually, a swollen tougue is associated with allergy but your strep throat is persistant. It may have been due to so many antibiotics or a reaction to one of them.

Strep is certainly possible, and the azithromycin is an appropriate antibiotic for this. If there is a pharyngeal abscess, this would need to be drained as antibiotics would not be effective. As for other causes, mononucleosis is certainly possible, and should be tested via blood tests. I would also consider an HIV test. These options can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with an ENT specialist. Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Tested positive for strep, took two rounds of azithromycin, throat better at times, but still not perfect. Taking Prilosec for acid reflux, better at first, but back again. Please share what you found out.

There were no other symptoms. I went to an immediate care facility and they did a rapid strep and throat swab, although I didn't mention to them about the unprotected oral as I was embarassed. The strep came back negative and they put me on Z-Pack (which I took to finish) anyway. The throat culture came back negative a few days later, and they said that checks for any bacteria so I'm guessing that may or may not clear me of the bacterial STDs like Gonorrhea.

I thought I had strep throat after I had a sore throat for a few days. I went to an urgent care center and they gave me amoxycillin (750 mg/1 day for 10 days). I felt better and didn't worry. Then I felt the same lump in the throat and took a picture again and saw my throat was infected. I was given azithromycin (5 day pack). I'm on day 2 and I don't see any improvement and my throat looks even worse. Is this even strep and what should I do?

swallowing, weird hoarse voice, and some neck pain. US id'd one nodule, 1.7cmX 0.9cm. 4/19-RAI ='slightly cold', radiologist sd hard to biopsy b/c location. 1st appt endo: did sonogram, 'nodule complex & receiving bloodflow'. I noted bad fatigue, frequent hoarseness and swallowing problem (allergy pills sit in my throat after taking them with multi glasses of water, only food pushes them far enough so they go down). 2nd appt endo: US guided FNA on 4/30.

We are worried about rheumatic fever that has not been diagnosed yet and worried about recurring strep since we saw today that he has the white dots in his throat. I do mention that has no fever, no runny nose eating well - except he is not walking at all. Our son walked since 9 mo old he is very active hes not like this at all.... what is going on anyone that has any good advice on this? we are worried...

After 9 days of misery, I go to an urgent care. Test for me strep, and it came back negative. Doc looks at my throat and says I got an infection. Gives me a z-pack. I just finished the back today and can say it has done very little against the pain. Right now the pain will keep me up all night untreated, im talking funny, and it still burns to swallow.. Noticed that my tonsils have these like craters on them, like wholes.. All day i just rest and have zero energy..

tested positive for strep 2 weeks ago, but the meds haven't helped my throat. It doesn't really scratch, just a bit uncomfortable to swallow. I've read it's tell tale for HIV... What is the community's thought?

Shortly after finishing amox throat becomes sore again. Prescribed APO-AZITHROMYCIN, throat worsened. Prescribed PMS-CIPROFLOXACIN 500MG as well as some APO-BENZYDAMINE throat gargle. After 5 days of treatment my tonsils and uvula are severely swollen with a some white specs on the tonsils. The pain has intensified on my right side.

Most likely the initial throat infection was due to a garden variety respiratory virus, or was a strep throat despite the negative test for it, and has nothing to do with the mutual oral sex event. But it could have been gonorrhea or herpes. However, oral gonorrhea usually causes no symptoms and initial oral herpes usually is more severe and lasts longer than you describe. However, I am confused by your female partner's situation.

I went to the doctor and he did a rapid strep test which was negative. He prescribed me azithromycin, which didnt do anything. My throat now only hurts on one side (but it's so painful, I can barely swallow). I went back to the doctor yesterday and he did a rapid mono spot test, which was also negative. He then prescribed me amoxicillin clavulanate (in case i had a resistant strain of bacterial infection), which I started taking yesterday. He said it was likely viral though.

I seeked medical attention by this point and the doctor told me i had strep throat so he gave a shot( i dont remember what is was called) and azithromycin 250mg. I waited a week and it wouldnt go away so i went again and this time he gave me amoxicillin and chlorpheniramine which help but only slighty. I ended up going for a third visit and he gave me keflex and singular and once again it helped just slightly with just the throat irritation.

I am married and I (stupidly) had unprotected vaginal and oral sex with a different partner. Two days after, I went to the dr and found out I had strep throat. (The day before our sex, I had a sore throat and the all around tired, run down feeling) I'm assuming that I already had the strep prior to the unprotected sex because of the timeframe. As a result of the strep, I was put on the Z-pack. 2 weeks after, I had pick eye and was treated with a saline antiobiotic.

I was told last Wednesday that I had strep throat...a very early stage, no sore throat but a 102 fever. I was put on Zithromax. On Friday I still had a 102 fever and the sore throat developed and was horrible. I put a call into my doctor who said that I need to give the antibiotics time to work. It's now Monday - my sore throat is gone but I'm still battling a fever. Plus my chest is very sore - not when I take deep breaths but it feels more like a bruise - it hurts when I walk or move.
