doxycycline and sinus infection

I took Doxycycline for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. A week after finishing the Doxy I developed a sore throat and sore tongue. I'm assuming it is a reaction to the drug. How long will this stay in my system and is there anything I can take to alleviate the reaction?

The day I met the guy at a bar I had gotten a prescription for doxycycline for a sinus infection, but did not take the first one until later that night as the doctor said it should be one in morning and one at night. It is a 14 day regimen of doxycycline. I read in prior posts that normally 7 days of doxycycline is not enough without an injection of another antibiotic, but I was wondering if 14 days would be enough to prevent/treat a ghonorrhea infection?

Constant bouts of pneumonia and bronchitis as well as mystery hives and infections on even the smallest paper cut. After sinus surgery I developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection that seems to have colonized in my sinus'. I have a great number of environmental allergies and have learned that I am allergic to Keflex and sulfa drugs/antibiotics.

I have severe sinus pressure and headaches for the past 2 months. Also I have numbness in my left cheek and half of my tongue is numb. I had a CT scan that showed infected sinuses. Took augmenten for 10 days, still feel terrible. Doctor started me on Doxycycline for another 10 days. Anyone else have the numbness.

I have a 8 year history of chronic sinusitis in my right maxillary sinus and about 10 sinus infections a year, half of them requiring antibiotics. I have never had a sinus infection this complicated. I am weak, started with sore throat and lots of mucus, and now I just have terrible facial pain that seems to be moving over the days from my right eye to the middle of my forehead.

Is it ok doxycycline for sinus infection if I take toprol for high blood pressure

then i got sick with allergies and cold symptoms so my sister took me to carenow where i got doxycycline hyclate 100mg 2x a day for 10 days to clear up my sinus infection. right after i stopped taking the doxycycline i went to the dentist for a bad cavitity on my back tooth and got amoxicillin 500mg 3x a day for 10 days. it is possible that those meds not only cleared up what they were prescribed for but the std as well?

About three weeks ago i had unprotested sex with a woman, who I have no idea her sexual past. Aprrox. 2 weeks ago i got a chest and sinus cold. My doc put me on Zithromax, the next day I started to feel burning while peeing, so I started taking cipro with the zithro thinking I had a UTI. The burning did not go away, i went and saw my doc about this and he took swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Hello, Difficulty urinating in males can be due to urinary retention which can be due to enlarged prostate due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (often called BPH) or infection of the prostate( prostatitis), any blockage in the flow of urine like any scar tissue, injury (as in a car wreck or bad fall), blood clots, infection, tumors in the pelvic region, and stones, infection or due to disruption of the delicate and complex system of nerves that connects the urinary tract with the brain and the ne

The lesion healed within a week or so and we never thought anymore of it. Recently she had a sinus infection and was given a Tri-Pak of Azithromycin. She HATES taking medicine so the doctor told her she could take all three pills at once if she wanted but he didn't suggest it. Well she did. For some reason the lesion and my oral sex episode has really been bothering me. I have been tested after that exposure and all tests were negative.

I've been feeling lousy since at least December '09. At the beginning of December I had a sinus infection that turned in to a scary peri-orbital cellulitis landed me in the hospital. Since then I've been exhausted, run down and sick off and on and running low grade fevers. It took about a month after the hospital for my white counts to get to normal again. Since then I've had another sinus infection that was confirmed.Still feeling lousy and went to see several specialists.

ok dont panic here - could be sinus related, and mimic a headache, if infected will require doxycycline but gp will advise - also check when you press above eye does it hurt? have you had sinusitis before, do you get nasal problems. the migraine from the pill is not related at all!

Dear Doctor, I don't mean to be annoying, but like most of the posters here I am a bit nervous right now. If necessary I can pay for another thread. 2 more (final) questions: 1) Currently my doctor has switched me over to doxycycline, 300 mg/day for 10 days because my sinus infection didn't respond to the clarithromycin as well as hoped. Would this dosage prevent/cure a syphilis infection, if it were present?

Hi, for two months i have been sick with the flu, a respiratory tract infection and now im experiencing extreme fatigue, dizziness,head pressure and sinus pain and have been losing a fair bit of weight because its difficult to eat. also i have a panic disorder and my anxiety is out of control and although i know its not doing my any good im terrified because its not going away.ive been to the doctors and have been put on doxycycline but its not helping at all.

In October, I developed an upper respiratory infection that caused swollen lymph nodes in my neck and an ear infection/sore throat, and later on a cough. The cough has hung on since then. I have had two chest x-rays, which have come back negative. My doctor put me on a course of prednisone, which did nothing. The cough brings up a foaming white phlegm, and sometimes causes heart palpitations.

when i was finishing tx, i developed an infection and was rx antibiotics. the meds caused my alt to flare from 22 to 93, then trended back to normal. my hep c did not return. my dr put me on doxycycline 100 mg for only 7 days. so sorry for your set back.

Went to the dr in late November for strep throat and a sinus infection, tested negative for strep but I have cobblestone throat and my left tonsil is inflamed. My doctor said I have some pus behind It & I have a small hole on my tonsil as well. My throat does not hurt and I no longer have any symptoms. I have taken both azthromycin and doxycycline. My throat still looks the same. My doctor has said just to keep an eye on it. Should I just go ahead and go to an ENT?

Hello, I planned on getting STD tested in a few weeks but just completed a ZPACK (azithromycin) for a sinus infection and my dermatologist has put me on 100 mg doryx (doxycycline) for acne. Other then the HIV test should I go ahead and get tested for gono, syph, chla? The reason I ask is that from what I am reading on this forum, often times those antibiotics would clear up those infections. Thank you. This has been a very helpful and informative forum.

Started out with pain and ringing in the left ear, swollen gland behind it. Then moved to the right ear. Accompanied with a sinus infection and severe sinus pressure. Sinus infection has went away, glands are no longer swollen, still crunching and ringing in both ears. My doctor put me on a round a antibiotics and didn't help. ENT doctor said it was tinnitus, although I have no hearing loss. A few friends and my father in-law had this exact same thing as well.

It was on me for about 24hrs before I noticed, killed and removed it. A week after bite, chronic dull headaches started, sinus pain focussed on left side with whitish foamy post nasal drip, neck like a pepper grinder when I turn it, jaw joints clicking and stiff, darkened hollows around eyes, extreme unnatural fatigue. Have been to 3 separate GP doctors and local hospital ED several times and they were at a loss except to give me painkillers and antibiotics.

I have been dealing with chronic sinusitus during this period, and my GP said that the sinus infection could be causing the irritated and "watery" eye, but I have had dozens of sinus infections over the years and never before had these issues. Should I make an appointment with a different, more-experienced doctor to have these symptoms assessed, or are they nothing to worry about? Thank you.

Then I retested 5 days after being off doxycycline. Tests were still negative. I’m still having the symptoms. Had a CBC done and WBC was 5.5 in normal range. My Questions are below: 1. Are these urine tests for gonorrhea etc accurate after being off doxycycline for 5 days? 2. What else could my symptoms be from? Thanks.
