t want to take the Clindamycin because it made me so ill, he prescribed Cephalexin. Does anybody know anything about this drug? I looked it up and it said it is similar to penicillen. Will it work since the penicillen didn't? Sorry to sound so paranoid, but my dentist is not very easy to talk to about this and I am so scared. I hate when people/doctors think you're exaggerating. Believe me, I want to find a drug that will take care of this! Then maybe the pain will go away!
t open so my husband called another dentist, explained everything to him and I went there. He prescribed me cephalexin 500mg. Its been 24 hours since my last dose of clindamycin and im three doses into cephalexin. My swelling has gone down amazingly. It is no longer in my throat or near my ear or eye. it seems to be only around the infection site now. my face almost looks normal and the pain has subsided a lot. I slept through the night only waking once for the first time since Sunday.
The first time was a reaction from a tea tree oil acne line I tried out, but the times after that seem to be a mystery. I have been on and off antibiotics for this, including cephalexin (twice) and minocycline. My skin clears up on the medication but it breaks out again about week after treatment ends.
Antibacterial wash such as hexachlorophene and topical antibiotics such as erythromycin or clindamycin may provide relief. You may also try the following- Apply a warm compress to the affected area several times a day, avoid shaving, use antibacterial soap and over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
However, if severe (large area or multiple areas), your doctor may prescribe some oral antibiotics like cephalexin or erythromycin.
Hope it helps.
normal masturbation - first ejaculation in six weeks. Felt VERY painful afterwards.
* Week 8: started doxycycline, 3 days later penis pain gone. I was masturbating throughout taking doxycycline and was no abnormal pain, other than second last day it was VERY rough, pain hurt immediately and persisted for a few days then cleared up.
Week 11: Protected sex with condoms twice -- penis pain is back :-(
Week 12: started cipro -- now three days and still painful penis.
Endodonist said there was pus -- infection. I have had allergic reaction to Levaquin and AzitheraI and have had side effects diarrhea and lightheaded from Cefdinir and Cephalexin so he prescribed Cipro 500mg. Said he doesn't usually prescribe but given that it have taken Cipro 250mg in the past (or urinary tract infection with no side effects. Is Cipro as effective as other antibiotics for dental infection?
Hi all, I had vaginal sex with a women and the condom broke :( I also performed maybe 1-2 seconds of oral sex.
Days after I became sick with a sore throat, I was diagnosed with strep group C after 3 weeks. I was put on a variety of antibiotics (azithromycin / cephalexin / clindamycin ) for the strep. Sore throat has lasted 8 weeks, but it's improved a lot.
After 4-5 weeks, I started getting very concerned that I picked up an STD as the throat was not improving.
Hello. Tested positive for gonorrhea on 3/4 - I believe due to receiving oral sex around 2/20. I was not symptomatic until 3/1. I had unprotected vaginal intercourse w/ my girlfriend in the days before I became symptomatic. My girlfriend had been taking cephalexin 4 times a day from 2/24 until a day or so ago (she had a minor dental procedure and was prescribed the cephalexin I'm assuming to prevent infection). Would the cephalexin have treated any potential gonorrhea infection?
Due to my ongoing infections, my antibiotics were made stronger (from cephalexin to clindamycin). However, for the last couple of days, I no longer have tonsillitis, instead a swollen, white tongue that feels as if it has scratches all over it. When I try to eat or drink anything it burns. I have been on a liquid diet since the 12th, but even that is hard to stay on. Along with my tongue, my gums have been very sensitive as well. Please help! Any insight or advice is greatly appreciated!
t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
My dog was shot in the mouth he is on clindamycin, Metacam, and Cephalexin he wont eat and he keeps getting sick what should I do
Has anyone else had to take Cephalexin while pregnant? I'm 19 weeks and taking 3 pills a day for a week for an infection on my toe. I'm a big worry wart as this is my first pregnancy and I'm wondering if anyone else has taken it or had any problems.
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed cephalexin at the hospital I went to. I was told to take it 4 times a day for 7 days. Will this effect my baby? I'm unsure. I'm not allergic to any medications. Please let me know if any of you have had the same concerns.
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.
Most of the tick borne diseases do respond to doxycycline, but Babesia does not respond to doxycycline and must be treated with medications that your dog has not been treated with yet including clindamycin with metronidazole, and others.
Another uncommon disease that fits many of Lola's symptoms is canine histiocytosis.
There is quite a lot of information about canine histiocytosis in the following Pub Med linked journal article (though it may be a bit technical):

I noticed a slight rash on my ears a week ago, a couple days later it had spread to the back of my neck and into the hairline at the back of my neck and above my ears. A doctor prescribed cephalexin for cellulitis even though the symptoms aren't presented. The rash is dry and feels coarse and bumpy. The drug doesn't seem to be helping, nor does the Benadryl I'm taking to manage the itch. I've been taking the drug for only 4 days.
Hello Doc,
My 9 months old kid is having light fever and is prescribed with Cephalexin 125 mg, Deriphyllin syrup and one antipyretic (Paracetamol and brufen combination) for 5 days is it fine?
It is most commonly prescribed after a surgery or to treat a bacterial infection, dermatological problems and urinary tract infections. Cephalexin for use in dogs is similar to the use of penicillin in humans.
Significance
Cephalexin is one of the most widely used antibiotics in dogs, according to VetInfo.com. It can be administered via capsule, tablet or in liquid form. To lessen side effects, have your dog take the medicine with food.
has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects.
HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
She had an eye infection that she was on cephalexin and antibiotic opthalmic ointment for. She has been off the oral antibiotics for over a week now but still has eye ointment applied 3 times daily. She started getting a slight head tilt which at first I thought was due to the lack of sight in her bad eye as it has severe scarring to the cornea. But after a few days she has also developed an eye twitch to both eyes. She still eats very well and plays with her littermates.
Hi I Was Recently Sick and Had To Begin taking an antibiotic called Clindamycin. Will I Be Okay To Drink Alcohol While On This Medication. I Have Read That This Antibiotic Doesn't Have Any Negative Affects While Drinking Alcohol. But Just Wanted To Double Check.
Hi there,
i recently thought that i had an infection in my toe after i trimmed an ingrown toenail. My toe swelled up a lot and got red and hot and painful. I was prescribed an antibiotic called cephalexin (sorry if spelling is wrong), which didnt really work and my toe eventually got worse. I was then prescribed clindamycin and a corticosteriod to help with inflammation, which i finished both of and my toe looks better but still not normal.
The general physician told me that I have infection of the throat and tonsil. She prescribed me antibiotic (cephalexin), lozenges, cough syrup, and panadol. It didn't get better. Finally i couldn't stand the burning sensation (heartburn) so i decided to take antacid (zellox-II) and immediately i feel relieved. The heartburn sensation disappearred overnight.
