Common Questions and Answers about Beta strep infection symptoms

infection

Avatar n tn Could it be possible that she is saying that this is a recent infection for me only because I have symptoms - and could those symptoms be attributed to the strep infection?? 4. How likely is a false-positive result?
Avatar n tn First time vaginal swab (and cervix) was investigated, strep beta hemolytic group b was found. 10days Xiclav therapy was prescribed. After that, strep was gone, but e colli was there, so Bactrim was prescribed for 5 days. 3rd time only enterococcus faecalis was reported and nothing was prescribed until after 20days the doctor repeated examination. 4th swab indicated presence of strep b (second time) and enterococcus faecalis, amoxiscilin is prescribed for 8-10 days.
Avatar m tn I have been back for the results today and everything came back clear exept the doctor told me i have an Streptococcal infection (Beta Strep he called it). I have been given 14 x 500mg Clarithromycin tablets. Im looking into it but all i can find is it effects women, i have had problems in the past with water infections but this is a new one to me.
Avatar n tn When it came back it came back as beta strep again!!! She put me on amox again but I am not filling it. I am going to make an appointment with a Urologist. What is the deal!!! I never had any urinary issues. I am freaking out that this infection will never go away!!! Anyone have a UTI caused by this! So annoying.
Avatar f tn Strep throat is an infection, not an allergy. I have never heard of a cat giving a human a strep infection.
Avatar f tn Beta testing my test results were positive I have some type of infection that can possibly kill my baby the doctor told me that I would have to be on a penicillin IV during labor has anyone else gone through this
Avatar f tn Keep on getting Beta Strep B back even after taking penicilin. What form works to get rid of this nasty strep?
Avatar f tn ve got some way you get beta hemolytic strep, and that beta hemolytic strep really hits you for some reason (a lot of adults, it doesn't bother very much). That would make more sense than suspecting hormone issues are the cause.

These are general guidelines, meant to be taken in the whole context of your health history by your doctor.

Avatar f tn Hey you all I feel so worried I had labs done last week and I checked my results online and it says something like 3,000 beta strep group b in my urine culture my doctor never called me concerned or let me know anything and I don't see her for about 3 more weeks. What is this should I be worried how did I get this and is it curable?
Avatar n tn Most pharyngeal std infections are without symptoms, and its quite possible that you are getting sick from being exposed to your friends. Your doctor wouldn't be able to tell if you have gonorrhea just from looking, and would need to do a specific test. Its important to be honest with your doctor, or you are, in effect, tying his hands behind his back and he can't treat you with the best care possible. I know its not something you talk about, but you should be honest with your doctor.
Avatar f tn Hi, the symptoms described could be due to an infection, most probably streptococcal or a viral infection. Strep sore throat needs to be treated with an antibiotic as strep is a bacteria. Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain.
Avatar f tn Well I am currently taking a 10 day treatment of penicillin for a Group B Strep infection. I went in to visit my Doc last week. She swabbed me cause I had creamy discharge and alot of it, red sensitive, sore swollen vagina and lesion in the crease, my typical symptoms I've always experienced. But this time it was the increase milky discharge that was a bit different.
Avatar f tn What is this? I had labs done last week and my results are on my medical profile and it says beta strep group b. My doctor never called me and I can't find answers on what this is online and I'm freaking out.
Avatar m tn it's a Strep, not Staph, infection. I know that Amox. is used to treat strep infections... we'll see if it works. I'll get restested in a few weeks.
Avatar m tn https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/group-b-strep/symptoms-causes/syc-20351729 If the doctor believe it requires treatment, a simple round of common antibiotics will be prescribed. You did not and could not have given this to her.
Avatar n tn No they do not treat the partner for strep b. Usually it's a pretty self limiting infection in the vagina but sometimes it can cause painful symptoms as you've seemed to have had. It's really only an issue for pregnancy though of course staying comfortable is also very important!
Avatar f tn However, if you really suspect strep, you need to see a doctor. Even when strep throat improves on its own, an antbiotic is necessary to reduce the risk of serious complications, including rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, a serious kidney disease. These are rare today but extremely serious, so don't take chances.
Avatar m tn Thanks dermatologist said lichen planus neglecting the ongoing beta strep infection and the fact that it looks nothing like http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7167/lichen.jpg (but as http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/8963/p1010266n.
Avatar f tn Three days later I am told I have Strep B Beta with Hus I guess meaning it is viral and I have to let it run its path..Also with E.Coli(small amounts) What is going on here? I was not prescribed any antibiotics... All I can find is information with pregnant women...frustrating..Also would this have anything to do with the new HSV viruses I have contracted??
Avatar f tn I'd say strep, i just had that exactly and it was strep.
Avatar n tn hi there two weekends ago, i had oral sex with my boyfriend. now, for the past two days i've had a few sores in my mouth and some white patches on my tonsils/throat area. My throat is a bit sore, not too bothersome, but definitely red. Now i feel two more appearing on the inside of my lower lip. does this sound like a primary oral herpes outbreak? what are the typical symptoms? i'm kind of freaking out!
Avatar f tn Well, has she had a strep test? The rash could be scarlet fever from the strep infection. I had a strep infection without a sore throat, but with scarlet fever, and every joint in my body was involved. I could barely walk. I had no idea strep could cause these symptoms. You can also have a negative rapid strep test. What you really need is a culture and a blood draw to make sure. I got the run around for quite a while.
