levaquin

Avatar n tn He very well may have wanted to make sure you did not have some type of upper respiratory infection which many get durning or right after WD .Now levaquin is used for upper respiratory infections so that would make alot more since . Like I said I have been on levaquin many many times and never had any adverse effects at all it was one of the more effective antibiotics out there .
Avatar f tn I was sick with a upper respiratory infection about 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor he said it was bacterial.
Avatar n tn Infections usually start out as upper respiratory infections, such as from a cold and then travel down into your lungs (lower respiratory infection). Other times it's from getting the flu and a secondary infection sets in, such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis. Other times you could get acute bronchitis from being exposed to a lot of irritants in the air (such as wood dust, heavy pollution etc).
Avatar n tn A positive result can occur in anyone who has ever had a chlamydial infection; it does not diagnose a current, active infection. Further, some positive results come from past chlamydia-like infections of the respiratory tract, like bronchitis. If you have been at risk recently for a new chlamydial infection (unprotected sex with a new partner and so on), then having a urine chlamydia test makes sense. But not because of your current symptoms or past prostatitis.
Avatar f tn I have had chronic respiratory problems since I was a child. I am now over 70. I have sinusitis which sometimes becomes acute. I don't have asthma attacks, but I have been described as having "reactive airways syndrome," which seems to be an accurate description of what happens when I get a cold. I also have some allergies. I have had pneumonia three times.
Avatar n tn I had sex with a sex worker about 10 days ago. It was protected (condom) vaginal sex. I performed oral on her briefly. I received unproteced oral for about 15 seconds. About 5 days after this, I got a cold sore on my lip. I have had cold sores in the past and have tested positive for HPV in the past (never did they type test so I am not sure if I ever had HPV II; I know I have HPVI because of the history of cold sores). The cold sore was a bit unusual.
Avatar f tn Dear Doctor, Thank you for your insight on my symptoms. I have an appointment to see an ENT doctor next Tuesday (I hope I can wait until then). Now, the "infection" has spread into the upper respiratory area and I am coughing up mucous as well as it coming from my nose. I did mean to say resistant to antibiotics - thank you for pointing this out.
Avatar m tn Last year I had a severe upper respiratory cold...Then the sinuses became involved but I was able to blow my head off and get the stuff out.. Then I stated having some breathlessness and headaches and achy cheek bones and constant mucous in my throat and I would cough my head off. I felt the sinus drain and would carry kleenex with me to spit it out. I developed horrid gerd/heartburn/ bad breath and nothing in this world is helping with that and now the chronic sinus infection/problems.
Avatar n tn I was on 875 mg of amoxicillin for respritory infection then the day i finished that I was given levaquin for a sinus infection I got while I was on the amoxicillin and now I have an ear infection with discharge and bleeding and the sinus infection is not gone? Is it possible to get all these infections one right after the other while on these anibiotics?
Avatar n tn   From that point on fatigue never left me.  Several months later, in February, I came down with a horrible upper respiratory infection at the same time I was exposed to a huge dose of animal protein and a very unsanitary condition filled with unimaginable filth.  I've never lost my voice before, but this time, I could hardly squeak out a word. A few weeks later, my sense to taste altered.  I had what is neurological damage to the area in my nose that sense taste.  No doctor seemed to care.
Avatar f tn Anyone ever had an upper respiratory infection during their pregnancy? If so, did it affect your baby in any way?
2041076 tn?1329881359 I am uncertain about what this statement means but assume the symptoms to be those of a cold or another type of upper respiratory infection. Such symptoms may be caused by persistent or recurrent infection but, in many instances are caused by repeated exposure to, 1) an allergic substance or, 2) to an irritant; that is, they can be caused by something present in your environment.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor last wednesday and he diagnosed me with an upper respiratory infection caused by allergies. The main symptom I went there for was this brain fog, I have it bad and still have it bad to this day. The doctor said that would cause it, but i just want to know if it is true and will it be cured by the antibiodics he gave me please help.
Avatar n tn I've been on 500mg. of Levaquin for 4 days and I'm having difficulty breathing. Not all the time at times it's just hard to catch my breath without doing anything too physical. Has anyone else had this side effect?
Avatar f tn My prior medical history is gastroparesis (of unknown etiology) and was just recently treated for a sinus infection with Levaquin 750 mg for 5 days. I was also very nauseous and dizzy today for several hours. Had a vague pain behind my eyes. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Hello about 3 months ago I was prescribed Levaquin for an upper respirtory infection. Well I did experience the normal side effects listed online but then started getted ringing in my ears. I only had a few days left of the medication and didn't realize the ringing wouldn't go away since the doctor told me it was due to an ear infection. I have been off balance and have had visual problems and anxiety of not feeling right sometimes through the day.
Avatar n tn 2 months ago i received oral sex and had protected vaginal sex for less than a minute from a prostitute in London , now i have Upper respiratory tract infection and i am at hysteria , because i heard that upper respiratory tract infection is the beginning of HIV

Avatar n tn I know this is a guessing game since there is not much research or data dedicated to the cure of this weird but annoying respiratory disorder. I have tried levaquin (long term) it helps for the moment but it comes right back when I stop using the antibiotic. I started having complications using levaquin so I stopped and told my ENT i will never use it again unless it is absolutely necessary.
Avatar f tn I am a 37 mother with no prior history of sinus infection. I had what I thought was an evil flu or Lyme disease--body aches with an other-worldly headache that caused pain in my jaw. No fever or stuffy nose, but mucus dripping down the back of my throat. Whenever I bent over and my head was upside down I saw stars--my first clue that I had a sinus infection of some kind.
Avatar f tn Took it for an upper respitory infection for 3 days and had terrible problems. The Dr then gave me Levaquin, took for 7 days, with the same side effects. Just this past winter, I had a UTI that wouldn't go away and was treated with Biaxin and another abx (I can't remember which one, I have to look...maybe Ceftin) and had a bad reaction to both of them. I went to the health food store and took a D-Mannose cranberry supplement instead of abx to get rid of the infection.
Avatar m tn Just treat the upper respiratory infection? Will my general practice doctor be able to treat an eye issue? Thank You.
