He also has diabetes for the last 3 years. I thought I got the hang of his kidney to make him feel comfortable, yet he developed very bad skin infection on his entire body, worst in groin area and back legs to the point where he would not want to walk much. The vet tried 4 different antibiotics ( amoxicillin, then rilexine then Zeniquin and last doxycycline) and none have cleared the infection. After the doxycycline in liquid form my dog has been vomiting constantly.
f/u injection next day; marked improvement in kidneys; bladder less so; sent home on Doxycycline for 14 days; not much improvement
10/1/12 - UA =K. pneumoniae >100,000CFU/mL
10/3/12 - DO prescribed Cefuroxime, 500mg/BID
10/8/12 - feeling worse; achy, constant 99.5-8 temp; call Dr. who wants to do another U/A-culture?!?
I say call in the infectious disease specialist!! Who is right?
The vet prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 3 weeks. My dog seems fine without any obvious symptoms. Can we just give him the doxycycline 100mg once a day instead because the medication may cause nausea/vomiting. Also after 3 weeks medication, how do you he is treated ? Any advice !
But I had alot of pain and swelling in the right epididymi. The 4 week course of doxycycline did stop the infection I believe at the time but still had swelling and soreness.
I had a UT scan to reveal I had a epididymal cyst, the doctor advised it would cause no harm and I would have to live with it. It is about the size of a pea. The skin over my epididymi is red sore and stringy, not normal, like its infected as my epididymi is sore.
Hello,
I recently developed a white discharge from my penis. I went to a GUM clinic where an infection was found to be present, and so I was tested for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, HIV and syphilis; I do not think I was tested for trichomoniasis. Anyway, the tests came back negative.
Pending the results, the doctor had given me 7 days 2x100mg doxycycline which resolved symptoms quickly and I thought the infection was cleared. However, 5 days after the course was over, the white discharge returned.
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.
Chlamydia has never shown resistence to the macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin nor the tetracylines such as doxycycline. Clindamycin has no effectiveness for treating Chlamydia. Cipro is iffy for both Chlamydia and Enterococcus infections. Ask your Doctor to be sure that the Enterococcus is not a resistent strain , as this is becoming more of a problem, especially here in the US. I hope you are well soon. Take care.
In late October I got a UTI, no burning or stinging but pain in my lower stomach/bladder, tickling, sensitive clitoris after urination, feeling like I have to pee often, and just an uncomfortable feeling at times mostly during and after urination, but I waited a few months to go to the doctor, I know bad idea, but I thought that whatever I had would go away on it's own anyway I went and my urine was tested, and I was told it had blood and white blood cells in it, indicating an infection, my
I think you need some more testing done, but since you are on meds, that might be tricky.
Flank pain can also be caused by a urinary tract infection, kidney infection, etc., so don't limit yourself to thinking an std is the cause, especially with negative tests.
Did they do a pelvic exam? A urine test? Or did they only focus on stds?
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?
I believe that it is a lab error in dilution assay but asked doctor to prescribe me doxycycline 100mgx2 day for 14 days. One day before starting doxycycline, I took 3g of Azithromycin out of fear. My questions are this: 1.) Is it possible that the Titer decrease to 1:4 was an error as I had never been below 1:64 prior to that? I understand that a four fold decrease indicates positive treatment success but also a four fold increase indicates possible reinfection. 2.
I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
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.
I also apply hot water bag. I was prescribed Doxycycline for ten days which put the pain away for some period. But, it recurrs. If it is chronic prostitis, is there a permanent cure?
4 days ago I developed a painful left testicle and the pain extended up my stomach to about the level of my belly button. I went to the doctor and he felt for a hernia and ran a urine sample. Said it didn't have blood or bacteria. And didn't feel a hernia. Rx doxycycline 100mg twice a dayfor 7 days. I had taken a vocodin 10mg and it didnt help any with the pain. It felt like the epididymis was swolen. After a warm bath if felt different from the right side.
My doctor is telling me to give my 7 year old Zantac for a kidney infection, but I can't find any information on whether or not this is a proper treatment- I just want to be sure??
Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
ve been put on it twice this pregnancy, once for a uti and more recently for a kidney infection and 3 times my first pregnancy for uti's. I've never had any problems with it. All of my docs (and ive had quite a few because i moved during pregnancies and had to switch) have said its safe. They told me the benefits outnumber the risks.
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).

My urologist gave me Metronidaxole, Doxycycline were for any STD's or Prosatitis and also Cephalexin, I don't know what that was for? But he and my pcp said nothing in my body would live through these antibiotics, and I had the other tests too, now he and my pcp are baffled why I still have bladder and ureatha discomfort still. Should I go to the clinic again for more test after having 2 stds and a annual blood and urine test done, all in 1 month and still show negative?
But the insomnia was miserable so I called my doctor to ask if there was anything I could do for the side effects, so he switched me to 3 wks of doxycycline, which I started taking immediately. Now I sleep OK but after two days the symptoms are back in full force. I'm wondering if I made a mistake in switching. Have others had similar experiences? Is doxy just slower to take effect?
