As per my previous post I had a throat infection and couple of skin infections for which my doc prescribed week course of erythromycin, seemed to clear the throat but then within days it was back 10 times worse accompanied by singular swollen pea sized node under left armpit and neck felt glandy, doctor has put me on another week course of erythromycin, 2 days in my throat still hurts like hell and myblegs fell like ive ran a marathon, also keep getting pains in armpits and left breast area (s
My doctor did a culture of my throat and penis to determine if I have chlamydia or gonorrhea. But he decided to go ahead and treat me for the above STDs. I was given a shot of an antibiotic yesterday and put on a regiment of doxycycline. How long will it before I start to feel better. I have had relief with the feeling of swollen testicles but my throat doesnt seem to be any better at all. I'm concerned for some reason that this isnt going to respond to treatment.
I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill.
My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections????
Thank you.
The doctor told me it was probably strep throat and prescribed me penecillin. My throat got better. Only 12 days off of the antibiotics, and I decided to get tested for a STD as the symptoms of painful urination and an itch in my penis worsened and became much more bothersome. Now I'm wondering, could this strep throat really have been gonorrhea or another STD.
I am wondering what the likelihood of having the infection in my throat or eyes as well. I do not have any symptoms in my eyes, but i have had what feels like congestion in my throat.
I was treated with a shot and oral antibiotics.
My question is - how does treatment differ for infections of genitals vs throat or eyes. If I am infected in my throat, do I need additional treatment?
Thanks.
White patches are common in many throat infections. The sore throat which you had may have contributed to it. In response to the infection the body produces soft white debris which collects in the tiny indentations in the tongue and throat. Repeated salt water gargles will help. Mix one teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water and gargle. If the patches increase in size or become painful then consult your doctor.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
A couple of weeks ago I realized that i was having trouble hitting higher pitches when I was talking. It also feels like theirs something in my throat. I cant sing anymore except in a lower tone without going up. I find my self running short on breath as I talk at times. Im not in pain, just curious about whats going one.
I experienced a mild case of the Jarisch - Herxheimer reaction over 36 hours after treatment. The sore throat has not yet improved, the tonsils still have white mucous patches, and the rash does not appear to be improving. I'm also still getting headaches everyday, especially at night.
My question is what should I expect in terms of resolution of these other symptoms? Weeks? Months?
Your symptoms can also occur due to a chronic throat infection, which could be due to a post nasal drip. Try warm saline garles.That may provide some relief. You should seek consultation with an ENT specialist .That will help diagnose the cause. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Keep me posted.
Take care and regards.
Dear All, I am having severe cough and throat infection during treatment ( don't know if it is reatment side effects). Can I take any medicine to cure it ; I mean anti-biotics or something.. I need to know as I didn't take yet due to on-going treatment. please advise?
it started before he got the antibiotic though, and before the MRSA throat infection was diagnosed. And this all started with what I thought was a virus. Do you think he should get a sputum culture, and is that even possible when he's not coughing? Thanks again for all your advice, you've been very helpful, which is very much appreciated.. it makes this a lot harder that he's in another country and I can't talk to the doctors there.
