augmentin

Avatar f tn I took azithromycin and rocephin injection as a precaution (before the swab results came back), and am currently taking Augmentin to get rid of the strep. I was feeling fine and healed until yesterday when my throat started to hurt again. I changed my toothbrush about 5 days into the antibiotic treatment and the next day it was hurting again. Is Augmentin good enough to treat this? Could it be coming back for some reason?
Avatar n tn Except for a low growth of Group B strep. The discharge has a burning sensation, I have stomach pains, pain sometimes with sex, painful periods, excessive lubrication with sex.. There isnt a stong odor however. My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection).
Avatar n tn Well i went to the doc sunday, he did a strep test and it did test positive. He gave me Augmentin 875, and I went home and everyone said gargle gargle gargle. So I started gargling Listerine, is it possible that by gargling too much listerine I can make my throat more raw? Or will the Listerine just keep on helping?
Avatar f tn However, last week of Februaru I developed white spots at the back of my throat. My doctor said it was strep and gave me Augmentin which reduced the appearance somewhat but not completely. I got the covid vaccine astrazeneca, got a fever and the white spots increased once again (even worse). My doctor gave me Augmentin again for a week along with flucanazole. I’m at the end of the course of treatment. The white spots have decreased but some are still there.
Avatar f tn i went to the the doctors and tested negative on a rapid strep test for strep throat. i also tested negative for mono through a blood test. they gave a culture to a lab for a more thorough strep test, that has not come back yet. to treat my throat they gave me augmentin (amoxicilin and clavulanate). so far i have taken one pill and i will take another in 12 hours. on my left tonsil, half of the inflamed tonsil is covered by a flap of skin.
Avatar m tn Falgyl does absolutely nothing against strep b. Been on it for 3 weeks and it did nothing.
Avatar n tn I am suffering from Body pain and Strep throat . Took amoxicillin for a week and then visited Doctor he put me on azithromycin for 3 days but today is the fourth day still i feel the same.
Avatar m tn Hey. I'm an 18 year old male. Two weeks ago, Monday the 7th I went to the doctor with a sever sore throat and was giving Augmentin to take for 10 days (twice a day). My throat was really sore, I had a 103 degree fever, and thyroid glands were swollen. Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen didn't do much to relieve the pain. The rapid strep test said I did not have strep throat, but after looking at my throat a few times the doctor believed the test was wrong and gave me Augmentin.
Avatar f tn I recently took a 10 day course of augmentin for strep throat or tonsillitis (I took the prescription prior to testing to see which). Toward the end of the treatment, I started to experience some mild discomfort after urninating. Weeks later I am still experiencing that discomfort, in varying degrees. Usually if I am better hydrated it is milder. It is never terrible, just a mild burning or itching. The location is toward the tip of the penis, but inside.
Avatar m tn Hello everyone, On new years night of this year I got completely way too intoxicated and had unprotected sex with a friend who says she is positive she has no STD's. She got tested before she went to college and was clean but we had sex after she had been at college for a semester. I was inside her for about 10 seconds before I realized either way it was stupid. I was fine until feb.12 I noticed tears in the skin in between my scrotum and thigh. I got a headache too no fever.
Avatar f tn Don't know if I have strep or just a plan sore throat but it's been bothering me all day.. I have no idea how to get rid of it..:'( hoping it doesn't affect my baby I don't have a headache or anything just a sore though but I had the worst acid reflux last night could it have been that?
Avatar f tn I went back to dr. she thinks I have either strep or ecoli. she did two more swabs one for strep and the other was just called a genetial culture. she put me on Augmentin for ten days then start a yeast cream after 3 days and a diflucan pill also ..we will see what this does..
Avatar n tn 7. Cough. Strep negative. Not really runny nose. Was on Augmentin but still has fever so changed antibiotics. I noticed yesterday that my child had red blotchy areas on his cheeks when we came in from getting out of the car. He also had areas that looked like a fresh moskito bite on his knuckles of his hands and he was scratching them. Then an area on his ankle too. After about an hour this all went away. No rash on arms, hands other than knuckle area, truck or legs.
1672333 tn?1416694918 i went to the dr on june 25 and she treated me for strep throat and a sinus infection. she put me on augmentin.. i took the whole ten days and a couple days after i finished my meds my throat started to hurt again so a week later i went back in and still tested positive for strep throat. she gave me zpack to take. a couple days after i finished the zpack, my sore throat came back.. it feels itchy once in awhile and it also feels wierd when i swallow.
Avatar n tn You need a mono test, and a strep test due to the rash and sore throat, also a throat culture to test for different bacterias (Strep A and Strep B). The rapid strep tests they do in the clinic only test for one type of strep. Also, even though rare anymore, you should ask them about possible scarlet fever. You need a new CBC done, it is possible that the WBC has went up since the last test. And also have an epstein barr virus test just in case the rapid mono spot test comes back negative.
Avatar m tn I developed a sore throat with white spots on tonsils and now runny nose. Immediate care says either strep or tonsillitis and gave me Augmentin. My common sense says one week is too early to be sick from HIV and that I probably got sick from the airplane. However, my paranoia says panic. Knowing that I do not know the facts about HIV, I turn to the group. Am I worrying about nothing?
Avatar m tn Over the past 18 months I have had three anal abscesses, and I had another abscess approximately 6 years ago. In all cases these abscess presented quickly (within 2 days) and I have had to have 3 of 4 drained by the surgeon. My most recent was caught early so my doctor decided to try Augmentin before having me see a surgeon to have it drained. But, I'm getting concerned that this definitely doesn't seem normal for someone who is healthy and my age -- 29 years old.
250701 tn?1320974765 My lung Doctor called me in some augmentin because I have been coughing up thick yellow mucus. I just don't know if I can take it on treatment. Does anyone know??
Avatar f tn Hi - Sorry this is so long, but it takes some explaining... I've been sick since the beginning of February, and I don't know what to do. I came down with strep in February; it hit me very suddenly overnight. I waited a couple days to go to the doctor to see if it would get better, but it turned into the worst sore throat I've ever experienced, so I went to the doctor and the strep test came back positive. He put me on 10 days of amoxicillin.
Avatar f tn I was administered a strep test which came back negative but the pain increased, I could not swallow anything, I had ear aches, and began to run a fever. I went to the ER within 4 days once the pain was intolerable. The DR. Prescribed me augmentin and the pain subsided until the meds were gone. Four days later on Thanksgiving all of the symptoms returned. I went to the ER again to get a different diagnosis or pharyngitis. I was prescribed clindamycin and prednisone.
Avatar m tn Towards the end of May 2018, I had unprotected oral sex with a male partner. A couple of days later I woke up with a scratchy throat and white pus all over my tonsils. I'm talking everywhere. I've never had strep or mono and have never experienced anything that looked like that before. It didn't hurt that bad. I've had worse sore throats without my tonsils even looking red before. I was really freaked out, was running a bit of a temp (99.
Avatar n tn On Feb 1 I developed a severe red scratchy throat, and I still had several mouth ulcers. I took Augmentin 500 3x/day for 10days. After the 10days I still had a sore throat that feels like an ulcer down my throat, and I also still had about 10 mouth ulcers as well as swollen gums. I went to my Internal MD and he put me on Medrol dose pack and Levaquin. This initially helped w/ the mouth ulcers but the one down my throat got much worse. I was given a Celestone inj and put on Orapred.
Avatar f tn On that sunday, my chest was hurting so bad that i went into the er and they said i just had a cold. a little fluid behind my ears but no strep or influenza. just the cold and flu. well..... i still wasn't feeling better 5 days later so i went to the doctor again. she said i had bronchitis, possibly strep, sinus infection and swimmers ear! (which i haven't swam in months!!!
Avatar n tn My throat has been red for a month and over the last two weeks a breathing problem has developed (heartbeat, tight throat/chest, can't get a full breath of air). I'm fairly healthy and usually run about 5 miles every other day and get to the gym for an hour/day 3-5 times a week. I have been struggling with both of these activities and it's starting to get to me mentally.
Avatar n tn Mean you have strep throat or tonsillitis OR do you have cellulitis which is a staph/ or strep infection of the skin?
Avatar n tn Hello, I am desperately seeking answers to my 7 yr old son's problems. About 8 weeks ago, he started complaining of tummy ache after school. Within a couple of days, he also started having headaches always on his forehead. The ped. put him on Amoxycillin due to a possible sinus infection. He also had bloodwork done and his T4 and TSH came at borderline. He responded to the Amox. for a few days and the headaches returned.
