cipro

Avatar n tn My son is 4 years old and has had an ear infection for over 6 months. We were being seen by a doctor through a Yale pediatric group. He was misdiagnosed for so long. He is now on a picc line with cefepime for 3 weeks with not great results. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Thank you for responding to my question. It has been 12 days since I had root canal on #14. Took Cipro for 7 days. I'm still feeling lpain/discomfort on #14 and try not to chew on that side of mouth. How long does it for root canal to heal? Can and do root canal fail? What are symptoms of failed root canal. At the time of root canal Endodonist put temporary filled on crown. I have appoint with regular dentist for permanent filling in a week.
Avatar n tn Please contact your vet as soon as the clinic opens this morning and get your dog in for an examination. The vet may want to use something other than Cipro to treat this, including, as I said previously, lancing and draining the abscess and maybe using a topical medication in addition to an oral one. Please let us know what the vet says.

Avatar n tn could there still be an infection not shown by the urinalsysis performed, such as NGU? Would the Cipro knock that out? Also would trauma to the urethra become infected, and if so would cipro be the answer for that? Should I call the doc and request a different antibiotic? Sorry for the length of the post. Thanks again for your help, I am trying to resolve some major anxiety as I am 45 and been married for 20 years.
Avatar f tn 4 days after the exposure I went to the doc and got cipro for my ear. On day 9 I started taking the drug but have never gotten better which I am concerned. I easily kick these kinds of this with antibiotics. My 2 questions are is it typical to experience body aches without fever with ars? It routinely is said to be like the flu but my flus always came with fever. And the other is does ars render antibiotics useless during this time or did I just happen to catch a cipro resistant bug.
Avatar m tn Could be a pinched nerve in your neck or back, an ear infection, sinus problems, a concussion, whiplash, trouble with your vision, a blocked septum in your nose... the list goes on. I would suggest seeing your doctor for a complete physical. Wishing you the best...
Avatar m tn No symptoms at all. The cipro and biaxin were not for stds, they were for a sinus infection. No pain, no discharge. I did get a yeast infection from the antibiotics, and wondered if that could have managed it's way to my urinary tract...but no burning, nothing like that. All of this seemed to be triggered from my masturbating without and ejaculation over the weekend...
443434 tn?1255891233 I was given Cipro for a simple UTI, I was 36 years old. I was dizzy for three and half weeks, vertigo, nausea, then the ear pressure, spots in left eye, flashes in left eye, short term memory loss, horrible dreams, weak wrists and knees, massive floaters headaches, ears ringing, dry eyes, itching all over, rashes, insomnia, dark spots in left eye, eye pain, blurred vision, sensitive to sound, vitreous detachment happened in left eye and now happening with the right eye.

The scary thing is that most people just don't know about how lethal the fluoroquinolone category of antibiotics can be - like me, they only hear about its many successes (and, face it, those antibiotics are very good at ending infection which is why they are often used).
Avatar m tn Saw my doctor because terrible irritation in penis tip, sore testicles and having to urinate all night. No burning when I pee or discharge but significant pain at tip. Doctor did first catch urine test; neg for leuk & nitrates, said it could be prostatis so he gave me 7 days of Cipro. Had a minor surgery a few days later so did not take it. The next week it got even worse, so went to urologist. Same symptoms but worse. Dr. asked if it could be std, I told him I doubt it...
Avatar f tn Hi, I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives. From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.
Avatar m tn I went to see my GP and he prescribed me. Cipro for 5 days....then Amoxicillan Augmentin for 10 days....and then finally Doxcylcline for 10 days. The symptoms have not gone away....and some days the symptoms are very mild and I feel it has gone away.....only to come back again. (1) Would the antibacterial treatments I received have cleared gonorrhea in the throat? (2) Will it clear on its own since from infection possible date to today have been almost 15 weeks.
Avatar f tn i bought an over the counter urinary tract infection tester and it game back negative for leukocites and slightly positive (very slightly) for nitrites. i had some 500 mg cipro from a respiratory infection that i had last winter. i called my pharmacist and she said that cipro is used for urinary infections. she said the dose is often 2 pills twice daily for 3 days. i have just enough so i started taking them and my frequent urination stopped after the second pill.
Avatar n tn Usually for a sinus infection, Cipro is prescribed for 10 days—I am not sure how long the doctor prescribed for you to take it. If you started on Thursday and you are not feeling better, you should call your doctor today (Monday) or Tuesday. Tuesday would be approximately half way through the course and you should see some relief from your infection.
Avatar f tn When I lay down I feel like some liquid is flowing through my ear/head yet nothing is coming out. I just got checked by an ENT and she thought I might have a sinus infection due to the dripping in my throat and gave me Cipro which my body couldn't handle and I broke out in hives, test came back negative. I feel like my right ear is filled with liquid yet when my ENT looked in there she said everything looked normal.
Avatar m tn The Azithromycin did not clear the sinus infection so i was put on Cefdinir at 300 mg twice a day for one week. My hope was that if i had anything one of these two antibiotics would clear it up. Yesterday i went to doctor due to still having the burning after urination. I was given a pee test and then prescibed 10 days of Cipro 500 mg twice a day. I do not think they tested me for any stds but i was diagnosed with a UTI.
1280753 tn?1367757932 it's been 4 weeks and i am about ready to snap. ear, throat, sinus, bronchitis, intestinal; one infection after another. i was on moxyfloxicin for 10 days and it didn't help much. now it feels like the flu, and i got a flu shot in october. my WBC is 2.8 , ANC 2134 , Absolute Lymphocytes are 389 (which is real low) , HGB is 11.3. i want my life back. i can take the normal sides from INF and RIBA, but all this other stuff is taking it's toll.
Avatar m tn caps fitted until my bridge was ready, once the bridge was fitted the sensitivity went off but I still could not chew with it, it always pained, after 4 months I underwent a course of Antibiotics (4 days Amoxycillin - no help) followed by (5 days Cipro 500mg + Metronidazole 500mg) and it seemed i could start biting with it, so obviously there was an infection but I could feel it was not 100%, still it was sensitive, the day i would do a lot of chewing with that tooth it pained later but this wa

Avatar m tn Resently Doctor decided to take Urine test and found bladder infection and gave me CIPRO as an antibiotic. I feel rush under my ribs and pain in the back (right side). Do you think that this infection can cause that? I am still taking this CIPRO things and hope that this'll help. Do you know if lymph nodes can case pain or infection could go up from bladder and affect other areas? Please help!
Avatar m tn Cipro is a fluoroqinalone, and is not the best choice for an intestinal infection. Ordinary over-the-counter pepto bismal would have been more appropriate. Bismuth is a powerful bactricidal agent. Cipro has many side effects and was not an appropriate. In Mexico, what is labled "Cipro" could be anything from powdered dog dung to flour and insecticide.
Avatar f tn Did your doctor prescribe the cipro for your sinus infection? Usually, if you did not suffer any side effect last time you took it, it is likely that you will not be suffering any this time. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of medicines called quinolone antibiotics. This is indicated for bacterial infection and it works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Talk to your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn s the closest, and the next stop for an infection after the ear??? your brain!!! Are they sure they got rid of all your infection??? I have no idea about the side effects of that medicine you took, but I hope this may shed some light on your problem a little. I hope someone else has something better to post for you soon. Get well!

Avatar f tn You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper clinical assessment. In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
