levofloxacin for sinus infection

I had the doctor I work for look at it and he said that he thought it was a staff infection. He gave me a topical to use. He asked me if I had any liver problems and said no. I am very hush hush about the hep c. When I answered that I did not have any liver problems he gave me 5 days worth of Levaquin. I don't know however if I should take it. He told me that levaquin was not the ideal antibiotic to treat the condition however it was all that we had samples of .

Usually seven days is required to see clinical benefit in severe sinusitis infection. If it stays worse for more than a week then further evaluation is required. Ideally, endoscopically-guided culture could be performed to determine the effective antibiotic and should be started without delay. As an empirical therapy, its better to start with augmentin, this is already been done in your case. Otherwise levofloxacin can be effective alternative.

At the beginning of this year/end of last year, however, I ended up with pneumonia/atelactasis, after starting to be treated with ceftin for a sinus infection. The hospital ended up putting me on Augmentin, but after a week that was making no progress (sorry, I don't recall the mg for the z-pac, ceftin, or augmentin). My primary doctor put me on Levofloxacin 500mg once a day for 10 days.

ve taken cipro from 7-14 days and even IV cipro for an infection. can you get a terrible lung infection and worsening of asthma?

I had a sinus infection in Nov of 2007, and I have had a headache ever since. It has been a constant thing that is beginning to drive me insane. I have recently had a CAT scan that came back normal in an emergency room. Sometimes it is so intense I have to go to bed and take vicodin (2) so the pain will subside. It is usually pounding when I need to take the vicodin. My head feels like there is a ball rolling around on the inside and when it hits the walls of my skull it hurts really bad.

I've had a terrible headache that comes and goes, but has been burning throughout my face, top and sides of head for over a month and nausea for the past two weeks. Generally, the worst attacks or "flare ups" as I can best describe them occur first thing in the morning when I get up and at night time.

If you have taken any of these drugs, do you remember if you took them before or after you developed cardiac symptoms. I am wondering if my cardiac symptoms are due to taking Avelox for a sinus infection. If you do need an antibioitic make sure that your doctor does not prescribe any of these drugs. They are associated with a number of devastating reactions.

chances are the infection never really went away, if it was gonorreah or syphilis it probably relapsed...

HI my name is paul am 29yrs. i have been having diarrhea for the last two months. am not feeling any stomach ache or bloating. the only other symptom is that when i walk for a short distance i start feeling as if am loosing balance and some diziness. i first went to a pharmacy and bought some antibiotics levofloxacin being one of them it didnt stop.

Try steam inhalation, anti inflammatory drugs along with anti histaminics and antibiotics (amoxicillin, levofloxacin etc) for a week or so. Sinus drainage is also done but only after confirmation of diagnosis. MRI sinuses usually show up the pathology. Visit website http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/sinus-headache-000073.

We usually can respond to questions/concerns regarding diabetes. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat an bacterial infection, not diabetes. Call your doctor for medical advice about Levofloxacin side effects. Be sure to inform the doctor of all medications, supplements, vitamins and aspirins you are taking.

The lack of response to levofloxacin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, is additional evidence that no STD or other bacterial infection explains your symptoms; chlamydia would have been cured if you had it. I suggest you continue to follow up with the urologist. You can be sure no STD or any other infection acquired from the escort.

I believed I had epididmytitis earlier. I took levaquin. Later, I wondered if there could be any chance of contracting HIV. Anyhow, I know that the only way is to get tested, but while waiting for a good time to get tested, as it's still a bit early to get an accurate result, I'd like to ask the question in the title. I know that levaquin is for killing bacteria and that HIV is a virus. Yet, can levaquin indirectly prevent ars symptoms from showing up?

Last year i have a case which ghorrhea, they give me a injection, infact i have 4 injection of antibiotics i forgot whats the name but it doesn't help. They give me different types of antibiotics but still, my discharge is still there.

I have had 3 sinus infections in the last 8 weeks. I'm on my third antibiotic (levofloxacin) and i'm still experiencing problems. Most of the problem is on my left side. I had a CT scan and it showed a deviated septum but the ENT was not too concerned. Any body else ever have sypmtons like these? The symptons get better when I'm on the meds but return again when I stop taking them. Headaches as well.

My assumption from her medication is that her doctors have no idea what the actual infection is, because otherwise they would treat her for that infection, not every other infection under the sun? If she had trichomonas, wouldn't I have caught it from her??

About 2 months ago I began experiencing daily frontal and occipital headaches, as well as upper neck pain. A month into it, I was put on Amoxicillin for a sinus infection. Six days later, I had an episode where my jaw and tongue felt tight and I felt as though I was lisping. The patient I was interviewing did not seem to notice. It lasted only a few minutes and there were no other symptoms.

Got retested a month after, chlamydia tested positive again. They prescribed me Levofloxacin for 7 days, 1 pill a day, of which i took the last pill monday. Today we are wednesday. Now one of the symptoms i was having was a slight sticky clear discharge at the tip of my penis. This symptom was not present during the whole 7 days i took the levofloxacin. But now 2 days after i took that last pill, that symptom is present again.

Every time I take antibiotics for sinus problems for any period of time, I get a terrible headache on the left side of my head.

You see, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin are all in the same class of antibiotics and bacteria creates resistance to classes of antibiotics, not individual antibiotics.

Have you been diagnosed with syphilis through a blood test?

Trimethoprim is probably the most widely used antibiotic for UTIs and is usually taken for 7 days. It is often recommended that trimethoprim be taken at night to ensure maximal urinary concentrations and increase its effectiveness.

I went back to the doctor and he gave me levofloxacin for tonsillitis but my throat is still sore on the 8th day on levofloxacin. In september i had a lung infection which i used levofloxacin for and i was coughing up greenish phlegm and it worked for that. I did smoke blunts for that time in september but I've stopped smoking weed for about a month now, and everytime i would smoke weed i would get itchy.

I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement. My significant other has been suffering from mid month spotting from a low dose pill for months, however this month it is heavier and longer like a full fledged period. Any ideas on what is going on? The only thing I can come up with is a false negative for chlamydia on the initial test.
