Avatar n tn He told me that I had an infection of my hair follicles and prescribed Doxycycline. I took it for 10 days and all but an area behind the lower part of my right ear went away. I went back to him in December - when I couldn't take the itching any more and he perscribed Doxycycline again. And it appeared to almost go away - but the very itchy bumps are back in full force again and just in that area. It is driving me crazy.
Avatar n tn he explained with a cut out section ear model that the infection is in the external ear and is a bone infection! he said he could see some granules developed inside. i was prescribed ciplox TZ H for 10 days (initially by a different doc). that didnt help.so i went to this doc who has prescribed me Doxycycline Hyclate for 20 days. i started this doxycycline hyclate drug on june 19. and there is improvement 1st day itself. there was relatively lesser discharge today.
Avatar f tn Hi, tinnitus could be related to the collapsed ear drum, as middle ear infections can cause tinnitus. As this infection resolves the tinnitus should subside. It may not be related to medication intake. Intermittent periods of mild, high-pitched tinnitus lasting for several minutes are common in normal hearing persons. Since your problem has been of a recent origin probably due to a throat infection, it may be a temporary phenomenon. Regards.
Avatar m tn for last one month, i am getting itching problem from my right inner ear and after wake up in the mornings i find some white liquid with bad smell (low quantity) found. If i clear the liquid with ear bud then it takes another 6 to 8 hours to get the problem again if i am not sometimes, my hearing strength is getting low.
Avatar f tn This all started in September of 2014. I had a horrible, horrible ear infection. One of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. I went to the er and was prescribed zpac. Since then I've had one at least every other month. I've been on several different antibiotics. None of these ear infections were that bad or painful but still there. I had tubes placed in March of 2016 which did nothing. Fast forward to New years eve and I had another one.
Avatar f tn That night my ear started throbbing and I woke up with blood on my pillow. I went to the dr and was told outer ear infection and given drops. Soon after I became very I'll, weakness, widespread pain and low grade fever and my ear was still throbbing and bleeding. After 4 mos of feeling I'll and given drops for the third time I insisted I had a tick in my ear and wasn't leaving until it was removed and a nurse flushed a dead rotten tick out with a water pick!
Avatar n tn My thumb got very hard after doing floral design. I was treated for cellulitis with doxycycline. After a few days, the thumb started softening and feeling much more normal again. It started to feel a little worse while I was still on the doxycycline but was sidelined with a head cold. After resting from the headcold for a couple of days, that's when the thumb seemed worse and I woke up with terrible ringing in the ears.
Avatar m tn I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.

19413498 tn?1477669741 Symptoms still persisted so I got a single dose of metridonazole for trich and that seemed to work. Then a month later i had an ear infection and got antibiotics for that. So essentially I took 5 antibiotics in 4 months, is this like really bad? and is their enough to develop antibiotic resistance? I haven't had antibiotics for like 6-7 years before this.
Avatar n tn m with, what in the world , I have tried meds. for inner ear, vertigo, I had a sever bateria infection a week before this and was on a very strong antibotic. had blood work done, crt with dye. and it all looked good. so now what? I just can't figure this out.. please let me know what you would suggest ?
Avatar f tn Has your Dr thought about trying you on another antibiotic to see how you do on that one? Is your ear hurting? Did your Dr check you for an ear infection?
Avatar m tn leeturner: I think the same thing happened to me. I took doxycycline for a week for a sinus infection. Noticed my arms began to feel dry and itchy. Then plenty of little red bumps broke out on my arms. My arms itched like mad. Tried OTC Cortisone10, but it did not help. Finally I went to HMO clinic. Doctor prescribed a very mild lotion to be applied every 12 hours. Two days later I still had no relief, the rash had spread all over body. It had been awakening me at night.
Avatar f tn I went to Alaska and for the first two days on the trip the bump behind my ear oozed clear smelly liquid for two days. The swelling in back of my head has gotten worse. In the fact it looks bruised and red. I was wondering if Lyme disease can do all this? Or some other infection? I also get one minute excruciating headaches whenever I try and do any type of bending, lifting, or getting out of bed in the morning. The headaches are random and happen variously throughout the day.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn Neck lymph nodes can be the result of tonsillitis, pharyngitis (infection of upper throat), infection in mouth, caries in tooth, internal ear infection, outer ear infection, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, breast cancer, fungal infection, other cancers like lymphoma etc. If you had flu like symptoms initially then it could be due to infectious mononucleosis too. Please discuss this with your doctor. Take care!
1100598 tn?1413127426 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.
984138 tn?1359813073 doxycycline is what they treat you with for lyme right? Odd thing but my gyno called me in that medicine for a common thing probaly yeast infection... i just talked to the recpetionist not the actual doctor because it was very minor she said. But anywho should i take it? Obviously i should but should i take it when im a positive for lyme but have no LLMD yet and my ID just got back to work today so shes catching up with everyhting and havent looked at my results yet.
Avatar n tn I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
Avatar m tn Even a single dose of doxycycline could convert an infection to asymptomatic or make a test false negative, at least for a while. I would wait for 4-5 days after your doxycycline to get tested unless symptoms develop. Should symptoms develop, testing at that time should be accurate.
Avatar f tn On June 6th I was told I tested positive for chlamydia only and began doxycycline 100mg 2x a day for 14 days. Then I started messaging the unprotected partners who each told me they were clean. My suspected was highest risk (30 girls) got tested after and was negative including chlamydia (getting retest). Both others said they were completely "clean" and the guy from May 13th told me he was tested 2 weeks after our encounter.
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
871111 tn?1248992972 Also, it may be unrelated but she had a ear infection for months, which I misinterpreted as ear wax. She has been on Remicin ear ointment which has pretty much cleared it up. Her Dr. said that her ear infection probably was not related to any coughing/sneezing, however. I am very desperate as I've seen my baby suffer for over 8 months now. Any help is appreciated!
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone had low dose doxycycline (50mg) used for rosacea or used any antibiotic and got severe vertigo 40 minutes after taking it? I had dizzyness then vertigo and my right ear went deaf then I almost fell but my husband caught me and I got nauseated, tired and cold. It only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. I have been sore from almost falling and jerking myself and tired all day.
Avatar m tn About two weeks after this exposure, I was prescribed with a short course of doxycycline due to a facial skin infection, I have also learnt that this can treat some STD’s (unaware at the time of prescription). It’s been 8 weeks since I finished my doxycycline course and I have had sex with my girlfriend on multiple occasions during this period. Do to guilt and worry, I decided to get tested yesterday (thankfully all negative). 1.
