Avatar f tn Have been religiously taking the antibiotics. Have no symptoms. Caught it very early, it would seem. So, all I want to know is how long do I have to keep taking the antibiotics? And when can I kiss my partner again? No body, including doctors seem to be able to give me a straight answer. No sex and three months of antibiotics has been mentioned by one doctor, another said it will all be over in a couple of weeks. Any clue?
Avatar f tn Doctor proscribed me doxycycline becuase I tested positive for syphilis. Wonder how long till symptoms clear with the antibiotic. I currently don't have the soar but I do have inclination on penis foreskin and oral thrush ... any idea?
Avatar f tn Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
Avatar m tn How long do symptoms hang around for syphylis after taking a round of doxycycline?
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 m tn Someone I had sex with informed me that they had been treated for an sti after experiencing burning pee and discharge. I was fine up until then but also started experiencing burning pee the next day. No discharge. I went to a clinic and they gave me a shot of penicillin and a single dose of Azithromycin. That was the Monday but by the Saturday nothing had changed so I went to a doctor. He tested for any UTI infection but it was clear.
Avatar m tn My doctor gave me ceftriaxone 250mg (IM) one unit and doxycycline 14 pieces for 7 days 100g. She advice me to test my blood for the next one week after 7days of medication. Is there such away that I will sure that bacteria is out in my blood after 7 days of medication. Please advice.
Avatar f tn Hello. Thank you for your advice. 24 hours after finishing my 10 days of Doxy, my sore throat started to come back as well as that general crummy feeling that walking pneumonia gives you. So, I went to the Dr. to see if the pneumonia was gone. He said he could not test me because I would test positive for WP for the next 6 months. He told me he thought I just had allergies (yeah right) but he gave me 7 more days of Doxy. I have been resting more than I have ever rested before.
Avatar n tn Strong from inside shows from outside. Build a good immunity, eat right, clean and healthy. And I think it is better to resort to natural products for relief. And mostly with time the conditions improve with age. It is best to stop after you have completed your dose for the time prescribed by an expert.
Avatar f tn April 6th I went to my gyn told them my situation and was retested. Of course it came back positive my dr gave me more doxycycline for 2 weeks. Not letting me know that I will test positive for some time. I couldn't deal with the doxycycline anymore so I returned to the health department where I was first tested and asked for the penicillin shot because at this point I didn't care about a slight reaction(my gyn and primary provider refused).
Avatar f tn I think valacyclovir, acyclovir, or famcyclovir (antivirals) are going to be the best treatment for your outbreak. Herpes is a virus, and doxycycline and metronidazole are antibiotics that treat yeast and bacterial infections, not viruses. They will do nothing for your outbreak. I know you directed your question to Fleetwood20, but I thought I would point that out. I'm a pharmacy technician, so I know a bit about pharmacology.

Avatar f tn My questions are how long with the oral antibiotic till I am not contagues and how long till it clears my body? Is it doing to be as effective as the shot even though I've probably had this infection for 7 months? How long till my symptoms subside?
Avatar n tn How affective is doxycycline 100mg when taken for a period of seven days to cure infections and std's present in the body alone with a shot a penicillin.
Avatar f tn But again, after being together I started having discharge again. This time we took doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 7 days. I was very strict about it and made sure we both took the medication correctly. We finished the medication yesterday, and have not been together because I am still having discharge. Im worried that we have resistance to the medications. Or, can you still have discharge for a few days after finishing doxycycline?
Avatar m tn Doxycycline is not reliable against gonorrhea no matter how long you take it. For chlamydia or NGU, you really need to take the full 7 days. If you need more information than this, it would be best to start a new thread. I won't have anything more to say in this one, and most of the forum regulars don't look at new comments in such old threads.
Avatar n tn I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
