Moxifloxacin ear infection
Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin ear infection
avelox
The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
did show it to be sensitive to touch but not enlarged. Also, I just got off Keflex (for an ear infection) & that showed no improvement either (for my pain in groin/urethra). I have consistently had a strong stream when peeing, my freq seems norm too. I want my symptoms to stop, what is causing this: Prostatitis, or Urethritis & if it is why hasn't the antibiotics worked I've been on.
hey there, badgerMR. to be honest, i took metronidazol just one day after i took my azythromicine (i know, shouldn't self-diagnose), but I took them anyway. and it did not help. I know there's an alternative which is tinidazol but I'm just saying I did take antibiotics against MG myself and it did not help the symptom...
A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
But the doctor mentioned that my white blood cell count is slightly higher than normal ( WBC count taken from the swabs, not from my blood work) and mentioned that there might be an infection so she prescribed Avelox (Moxifloxacin), 4 x 400mg once daily.
The background is, I am Chinese male, been with my girlfriend for about a year and both of us have been loyal and we were both asymptomatic before this event.
I was diagnosed with pneumonia 6 weeks ago. I was on oral antibiotics for 2 days, then admitted with an IV drip for 3 days (levifloxacin, as I'm allergic to penicillin-based drugs) then given a 5 day course of oral clarithromyacin. I rested for 2 more weeks after finishing the antibiotics but was still coughing yellow mucus and feeling tired with moderate/mild activity.
For the past 4 months if been suffering with the infection of mycoplasma genitalium. I first went to the clinic just days after i had sexual intercourse with a female stranger, they said i have NSU but couldn't tell me what STD it was. After taking 5 different antibiotics with non affect i decided to change clinic. A new doctor suggested i payed for a private test, a test his clinic couldn't offer at the time and this test confirmed i have mycoplasma gen.
After returning to the US, I had tests done again which all came negative, including standard broad spectrum STD testing and even mycoplasma (blood test, not swab) yet symptoms still exist. I have gone through two courses of levofloxacin (30 days) and one course of moxifloxacin (10 days) yet it still persists. The moxifloxacin seemed to have more effectiveness.
I've seen several similar posts in this community and hope someone can help or share their experience.
Many thanks!
Hi, we are not doctors on these sites but I am a microbiologist and can give you some advice. It is rare to have Moxifloxacin resistance but it does happen. Since you both still have symptoms. Have you re-tested after treatment? If so I would wait about a week before re-testing to get the antibiotic out of your system. Yes usually after treatment of up to 14 days you should be symptom free unless it is a resistant strain or you have something else causing the problem.
Azithromycin has a high resistance, I know Moxifloxacin is also getting high resistance. Have you tried any of these drugs?
If symptoms continue, take 14 days minimum of Moxifloxacin. That is the only real hope of killing the infection.
There are a couple other antibiotics that can be prescribed if NGU is persistent, Erythromycine or Moxifloxacin. However, I would only use Moxifloxacin as a last resort, as it can have some very harsh and lasting side effects. In addition, if it's fungal related (Trich) they can also treat you with an alternative regimen of metronizadole.
Return to your doctor and discuss persistent NGU with him and CDC guidelines for testing and treating:

Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
12 days after infection (04/17) I completed blood tests and urethra swab samples in a STD hospital and three days later the doctor told me I was infected with Mycoplasma. He did not explain more, just gave me Doxycycline x 40 pills (one in the morning and one at night) I am unsure what the dosage was. My symptoms went away instantly but about two weeks later (05/06) the symptoms returned mildly.
I finished the Doxycycline and returned to the doctor on 05/21 and ran the exact same tests.
Welcome back. These are a new set of questions so I will address them here using the same numbers that you have used above.
1. The passage of 17 days since your last antibiotics and your most recent testing is more than enough to make your testing reliable. If you were infected, the tests should have detected an infection. Negative tests should also be believed.
2.
now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.
Tested positive for Mycoplasma Genitalium (wasn’t originally tested for). Prescribed 10 day course of Moxifloxacin. Symptoms cleared. Was then prescribed 1g followed by 6x500mg azithromycin to ensure it was gone. Symptoms slowly reappearing despite having since had a negative Mycoplasma Genitalium test since the last antibiotics.
Could this be recurring urethritis despite no infection - can that happen? I've not had any type of sexual contact with anyone for months.
Please help me.
Six months ago I tested positive for Chlamydia, which I estimate was 1-2 months after infection. I was prescribed Zithromax and the symptoms went away, except for discomfort in my lower pelvic area. I went back to see the doc for that, and he suggested the Chlamydia likely entered the prostate, diagnosed me with prostatitis and put me on two weeks of Doxycycline.
Since then the symptoms have remained, i.e.
Doctor has done a malaria test - negetive. Xray showed mild infection in lungs - maybe pnemonia did not go away. Strong Antibiotic - moxifloxacin and a number of blood samples taken for culture and tests.
However issue is fever is not going down after two days of medication. And now she is not responding to paracetamol - fever is consistently 37.5 /101 range.Should I wait for Monday or go to ER ?
Only medication I have taken prior to this issue being noticed was Aero-Moxifloxacin 400mg on a 7 day run for a skin infection on my hand.
I had a DNA testing on sperm and urine Candida came back positive but antifungals didn’t do anything
Now I am on a cocktail of Moxifloxacin and doxycycline feeling terrible and SO exhausted on 3rd week of it doing nothing. It’s to treat potential mycoplasma genitalium.
I’ve been praying to not wake up everyday and I’m totally desperate .
has anyone on here had an ear infection during pregnancy? I'm 34 weeks and in constant pain, but am trying to avoid the hospital unless I absolutely need to. Is there any home remedies I can try?
