1212365 tn?1329968536 My daughter of 2yrs old has cellulitis and the DR. prescribed her clindamycin she started this treatment 3days ago and all of a sudden her hair is starting to fall out. I tried looking for the side effects but it was telling me basic stuff and it stated that it had more to it I just needed to ask a doctor. So now I'm asking....
Avatar f tn Diagnosed with cellulitis. I took bactrim 5 1/2 days and then had allergic reaction - burning, needle like, numbing feelings, swelling. Also a few chills. I was told to take benadryl every 4-6hrs, pepcid twice a day. Saw dr. the next day. Was given clindamycin 150mg 4x day and took that for 2 1/2 days and was told to stop because I continued with bad reactions. I am afraid that the bacteria was not killed and will return. What do you all think?
Avatar f tn I have taken only 2 pills of clindamycin and now have a awfull gut ache so i quit taking it but the pain wont go away, is there anything to take.
Avatar m tn Am now taking a 10 day round of both clindamycin and bactrum to treat it. Thing is, blood work I had 5 days ago when I got started taking my clindamycin and bactrum now shows that I have no signs of infection in my blood, from CBC to my C-Protein. The redness is not gone and will turn dark red before going back to a lighter shade when i move my toe around like when I am walking, but I have no other symptoms whatsoever, and I feel totally normal head to toe.
Avatar m tn Afternoon. I have had cellulitis in my nose for over a month.... took Bactrim, Clindamycin, and another 5 days of Bactrim.. which didn't help in the first place... but... i have this swollen membrane (i guess) from the tip of my nose about 1/2 inch back... it always feels like it is going to swell up again.... with no insurance another 125.00 is not what I want to pay since it seems like none of that helped anyway... anybody have any thoughts on this one???
Avatar m tn My right foot got burning itching and hot on Monday's night. I thought it's athlete's foot and got the athlete foot cream in Walgreen on Tuesday, but didn't help. It got swollen and hurt on Thursday night and I went to urgent care on Friday's morning. The doctor prescribed me Clindamycin,but seems didn't help at all and the blister between toes got bigger(Only one blister). I followed up with him Today(Saturday) and he suggested me to go to ER.

Avatar m tn standard treatment of a stye in kids and adults is topical warm compresses (if possible) and antibiotic drops or ointments and as best you can cleaning the eye lids with an over the counter product such as Ocusoft Plus PLATINUM. If the pediatrician thought there was soft tissue infection (pre-septal cellulitis) then oral anitibiotics and careful follow up would be appropropriate.
Avatar n tn he told me it was the skin infection Cellulitis and He immediately gave me an Intravanous in hospital and Clindahexal (clindamycin) and Bactroban topical cream. The clindahexal is a very strong dose (8 a day) at a 12 day course. I saw rapid results from the IV and the healing of the infection slowed down drastically a day or two later. So I went back and got another IV about a week later and a 3rd one the following day, as it was showing rapid results.
Avatar f tn m allergic to Murpirocin, neosporin, bacitracin, clindamycin, metronidazole all topicals and had a syncope from a tetracycline type drug. My brother is anaphylaxic to penicillin. It sounds like you can tolerate Mupirocin but the topical isn't enough for your tissue infection. Celluitis can be pretty deep in the tissue so if it isn't working either the bacteria are resistant to it or it isn't penetrating the tissue well enough.
Avatar f tn I took bactrim and after 5 1/2 days had an intense allergic reaction of a burning sensation, needle pricking and numbness. They put me on clindamycin. I continued to have reactions, so guess they couldn't tell if it was the bactrim still in my system or also being allergic to clindamycin. Anyway, I was on some sort of antibiotic for 71/2 to 8 days. It's been 2 weeks since I stopped the 800mg/160mg 2x a day bactrim and the burning sensation is still there but much milder.
Avatar f tn So on the 19th, My wife was in a world of pain and really swollenafter 5 days of antibiotics. She’d taken amoxicillin and clindamycin and neither helped. She went to the surgeon and he did an I&D and extracted the tooth. He switched her to augmentin. By Monday the pain was worse, she couldn’t swallow, the cheek was bigger and she’d developed cellulitis so we went to the ED. They admitted her and on Tuesday they did another I&D and extracted 2 more teeth. They put a drain in as well.
Avatar f tn in urgent care and prescribed clindamycin e150 mg pills....3 pills 3x per day (12 pills) she is 15 and 119 lbs. Was not diagnosed with ANYTHING. Now we have had a utility, yeast infection, her iron level is at 30, she has passed out over 5 times, cannot sleep has lost weight, major stomach pain etc. urgent care has said it was right meds and right dose. NO WAY!
Avatar f tn By this time my right breast was also swollen and also had some blisters, although a lot fewer than the left. They gave me clindamycin through IV and both the redness and swelling went down dramatically within 45 minutes. But my culture came back positive for herpes--no typing. I developed a low fever and also a sore throat with a white ulcer in the back of my throat.
Avatar m tn ve went to the doctor last Sunday (July 31st) and have been taking antibiotics (Clindamycin) for the past 10 days (still taking them) and I just got my recheck today (August 9th). I feel way much better. No pain, no fevers, etc. The abscess is really small, like dots. I asked if it was contagious when I was there and the person I asked told me "as long as you're getting better, it shouldn't be contagious".
Avatar m tn I presented with only one sore at my cheekbone and was given clindamycin orally for 14 days and Bactroban ointment for topical use. The sore was believed to be an early indication of MRSA. I quickly developed cellulitis and swelling near, but not touching, the apparent abscess, as well as blisters in my nose. I used the mupiricin.(Bactroban) to keep the nasal blisters moist. Now diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia, but I still have blisters in my nose treating with Bactroban.
Avatar f tn t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
Avatar m tn s not an STD at all, and sometimes occurs as a result of an underlying urinary tract problem like a kidney stone or a prostate infection. You should be evaluated by a urologist.
Avatar m tn On January 16th, after popping an ingrown hair on my shaft, I developed fever/chills overnight, and my penis shaft swelled up tremendously in a few hours (all symptoms of cellulitis). No sores, just swollen. Doctor said he was certain it was cellulitis, and prescribed antibiotics which fixed everything. After doing some reading, I found that cellulitis can affect people with HIV because of their weakened immune system. I guess it is the timing of all this that has me scared.
Avatar m tn I have spoken to my family in the UK and searched the internet and can nothing about taking milk based products and antibiotics together. Is this a German idea? Please can you offer some information.
Avatar f tn you get about 10 bouts of diarrhea a day and bad cramps etc. It usually develops within 2 months of taking Ciprofloxacin, Clindamycin and some other drugs. You may want to try to eat two yogurts day to start (that have live bacteria such as bifidobacteria or Lactobacillus sp.). You can order some probiotics or get them but eat the yogurt in the meantime to get your intestines repopulated.
Avatar n tn i just found out she has these acne like spot on her face and shoulder. She say it body ance. I read the bottle of cream she uses and its Clindamycin. I looked it up and it say it is use to treat acne and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus common in people who are hiv + ? She also has vigoligo. Couple week ago i broke out with the same kind of acne she has. I have test neg in june .
Avatar f tn Alternatively, you can take clindamycin for the bv and drink a boat load of cranberry juice for the UTI and water of course. It will take longer to clear up the UTI but it should work. It did for me in a pinch. It just took a couple of extra days. Of course if you are diabetic you can't.
Avatar n tn t mention drawing blood for a CBC, although I did get an antibiotic injection and a script for Bactrim and circle drawn around my cellulitis lesion. Am I totally out of line to worry about possible granulocytopenia? I know it's very unlikely on only 5 mgs. So should I not worry at all unless I also develop a fever and sore throat, which according to the internet, are the classic symptoms of reduced granulocytes? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I went to the ER, and was given clindamycin 150mg x12 a day. After 3 days, it was twice the size it was before, and very painful. I had an appointment with my doctor, and he took me off the clindamycin, and put me on penicillin. By that night, my jaw was 2 times the size it was that morning. I went to ER, and was told it was an abcess. They admitted me, and gave me iv antibiotics. My jaw kept getting bigger until the ENT came and did a I&D, which provided much needed relief.
Avatar n tn the next day the culture came back regular staph--not MRSA, but ER doc though cellulitis looked worse and called surgeon in to take a look. he poked around, said it was fine--and they had me start goping to wound care the next day. the cellulitis moved another inch down my arm after the surgeon poked around. I have been going to wound care for 2 1/2 weeks. I ran out of septra, but was still running a fever and still draining pus.
Avatar n tn It has been over 3 years since I had cellulitis from injections in my neck and base of skull. I also have experienced chronic fatigue and a general decline in my overall health. At first my whole body swelled up. I was on IV antibiotics then switched to oral for a few months. Any insight would be appreciated.
