Common Questions and Answers about Cipro for the flu

cipro

Avatar f tn All other urine tests, cat scan came up normal. Prescribed me cipro and flomax. Had a really bad reaction to the cipro so started with doxycycline today. Wondering if it's possible for flu to cause these issues I'm having? And has anyone had luck with doxy? Note I did have some minor 'leakage' prior to this happening but nothing like what I'm experiencing now.
Avatar n tn I finally went to the urologist and after a brief examination he put me on Cipro 500mg for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks I improved alittle but I was still in alot of disconfort. The urologist took me off of cipro and told me to wait and see if I recovered more!? which scared since I knew I was not cured. After 2 days a got worse again and called the doc....He put me on Bactrim for 2 weeks which really did not do anything for me...
Avatar f tn Then I would go see your GP .
Avatar m tn fever, sweating, dry cough dizziness, and fatigue, most symptoms generally lasted for a week, I showed my doctor a –one month old- urine test that showed bacteria, he prescribed Cipro., during the treatment, one morning after taking the Cipro, I vomited and felt better, after which I noticed what seemed like thrush on the middle of my tongue, I have taken antibiotics before which never caused thrush..
Avatar f tn All tests came back negative and I was told i had bladder inflammation and to continue the cipro until completed. I didn’t tell the doctor that I cheated on my girlfriend but did tell him I had unprotected sex... i think the guilt and embarrassment was so bad that I was lying to everyone including myself. The co-worker told me that she has had multiple STI screenings and does not have an STI to her knowledge. After the negative STI results my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex....
Avatar f tn I agree with whitie the major concern is children 5 to 17, secondly 5 and under, and thirdly pregnant women....... hardly the pattern we have seen with the normal flu. It is really important for everyone to get the "real facts" of how serious the swine flu is to the general population.... gosh I live in WA and one of our colleges of which many of my friends have children that attend and I have been around 2K of 9K tested positive for swine flu which made national news..
1090984 tn?1463769850 I am worried, I have Acinetobacter lwoffii, 4+. i got it after I had the flu this summer. I was first on cipro,then bactrim then back to cipro but I got so sick on that cirpo so I stopped everything. Now I am back being treated again going on my 2nd round of bactrim DS and using some kind of pretreated wash clothes of peroxcide and something else. This is not going away! I am scared now.
Avatar m tn I have had a sore throat for over 2 months now, which developed after being on the cipro for a month or so. I also have a few white spots on my gums. I contacted the girl and she went and got tested for everything and came back negative. She claims to have no symptoms of anything whatsoever. I feel completely fine physically, I have had no flu like symptoms but my body just feels different. What could be wrong with me? Should I be concerned about HIV?
867582 tn?1311627397 When I started the Cipro and for about 2-3 weeks post cipro, I had not only the feeling of sitting on a hot plate, but then the real issues began. I couldn't sleep at all due to the burning in my entire saddle area was on fire, I bowel movements became very erratic, I could not empty my bladder without standing in a hot shower. A severe headache sent me to the ER. I thought I had meningitis or a brain bleed. I test were negative, CT of the brain, blood work, and urinalysis.
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 f tn I was told it did not look like herpes (no lesions), but that the swabbed area was red and raw! The swab has since come back negative for herpes. However, my vaginal burning has remained and is becoming more constant . I also have thin, milky white discharge. At the time of the swab test, I was also sent to Quest for Herpeselect testing. Those results are pending. I am at a loss for what may be going on with me. My vagina burns and is tender inside! There is no external redness.
Avatar f tn I blamed my symptoms on the alcohol on the account that I had been drinking heavy the night before. I note that at that time I can recall having abdominal pain and flu like symptoms. 3 weeks later my symptoms started to come back and I ended up getting myself checked out, everything came back negative for STD's. My only symptoms at this time was frequent urination and penile discomfort (on/off), no discharge.
Avatar n tn That liquid like ball is edema and depending on how large it is and that it is on the throat, a drain my be necessary. As for the Cipro....there are some very serious risk factors. If your pet has any of the MANY risk factors, giving Cipro can be deadly to your dog. If your pet is under 2 years old (assuming by the weight he is a medium or large breed)....do NOT under any circumstance give Cipro. Please please take your dog to the vet so he is properly treated in a safe and humane way.
Avatar m tn A couple of months ago I began taking Cipro to help with preventing bacteria formation in the ascetic fluid. The past 10 days I have felt the same feelings that I felt the first time I experienced this (May-June 2011). It seems from what I have read that this could be a virus. But I have also read that cipro can cause these symptoms as well. I am taking 550mg/day which seems high to me. I am wondering if it is a virus cant they determine the type of virus attacking my liver.
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 n tn Hi and sorry you got the run around. You can carry C. difficile and if you don't have symptoms and since you don't have the toxin B then you don't need treatment. So, if you don't have symptoms you don't need the antibiotic. If you want to finish the course of metronidazole for the parasite you can even though they didn't find one. Sometimes it takes several specimens to find one. Do you have diarrhea? If so, how often do you have diarrhea per day? Or are you over it?
Avatar f tn I received unprotected felatio from a sex worker about 8-9 weeks ago. Symptoms started about 12 days ago; very frequent urination, slight tingling while going, terrible lower backache, sore testicles. At no point did I have any visible discharge, itching, other symptoms.. I saw an urgent care doctor a few days ago who ran urinalysis. The dipstick test in office was clear aside from showing blood in the urine. Specimen was sent off to culture, still haven't heard results (4 days).
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 I ended up getting treated for urethritis and for two weeks I took cipro but that failed against the urethritis so I took amox clav and it worked but I passed it on to my girlfriend after he cipro didn’t work before I went on amox clav. So we both got treated with doxycycline and I just finished mine 4 days ago. We have not had sex yet and I had a rash on begin to form under my penis head and on the shaft of my penis.
Avatar n tn I started to get sick in March (this is August) with what I thought was the flu. I had a 104 temp for 5 days along with other fluish symptoms. I thought I was on the mend and a day later the fever went back up along with a sore throat and very swollen neck. I went to my doctor who gave me a course of Cipro. It didn't help, so she then sent me to an ENT who gave me Keflex.
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 n tn The amount of time for an allergy to last depends on the amount of time for the allergan to get processed by your immune system and the condition of your immune system at the time of allergic reaction. Pls take some over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.This will help in reducing the flushing and itching if any.If symptoms become severe,then oral steroids may be needed.They are available only on prescription. Hope it helps.
Avatar m tn Cipro upsets my stomach the entire time while taking it as well. I found that sticking to a bland diet, toast, applesauce etc really helped. Always make sure you have a full stomach before taking it. It is one of those antibiotics that can really bother some and cause zero effects for others. I would avoid the Rockstar drinks!!! Any caffeine will get you feeling even worse.
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...
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.
