Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax dosage for sinus infection

zithromax

Avatar f tn s a godsend of a medication lol. I had a double ear infection, double sinus infection, and stage 1 phumonia(sp), and Zithromax had me cleared up and feeling better withen the same night of taking it. I was also worried to take it at first, so I called almost every pharmacy in town and asked about it, and I got the same answer, which is it's safe, and I even called my doc and double checked with him lmao. Zithromax does cross into the placenta, but not as much as other antibiotics.
Avatar f tn So I am taking prednisone a steroid for 13 days, and zithromax a one time dosage today, and robitussin DM for cough and chest congestion. The doc actually acidentally popped my ear drum today too, it sucked. He was sticking the instrament(sp) that looks inside the ears, and the ear drum was sooooo swollen it popped. So I had blood and puss running out of my ear for a while, until he flushed it out, so im now completely but temporarily deaf in my right ear lol.
Avatar f tn Your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip, which can cause a chronic irritation in the throat. This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications.
Avatar m tn After a few days however my testicles ached after i drank a large amount of liqour. I took another zithromax dosage and this time 1g on the first day and 500mg for another two days. I also took doxy 100mg. bid for two weeks but my testicles still hurt. Was the treatment enough or a failure? Also my wife whom i had sex during the supposed incubation period also took 1g of zithromax and 5 days of 100mg. doxy bid.
Avatar f tn zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar f tn Last weekend he was coughing violently and was put on zithromax thinking it was a sinus infection. However, how his cough, while subsided, sounds horrible. I heard a commercial for pertussis and that's how his cough sounds! Would whooping cough make him not want to eat? He takes two bites of something and that's it. No fever, very active, some diarrhea, and this 'cough'. Also, would the zithromax take care of it if it was whooping cough?
Avatar f tn 1/100 1/1,000 1/10,000 2 Is my wife at risk for an STD she was also on the second day of a zpack for a sinus infection when we had sex. 3 how long should I monitor for symptoms before I can put this behind me and assume i am in the clear, if i have no discharge or painful urination. 4 Can i assume that painful urination would be unmistakable?
Avatar f tn I had a sinus infection when I was in my mid 20 weeks and was prescribed Augmenten (sp?)- the dr who prescribed it said it was fine to take while I'm pregnant. I also called my OB clinic to double check and they told me it was fine to take. If you have an infection -and the doctors know you're pregnant - take what they give you. I felt HORRIBLE before the meds and was told by my clinic they'd rather I take care of myself... Now I'm 33 weeks and doing fine.
Avatar m tn Doctor prescribed Prednisone,Zithromax, Acyclovir [for cold sores] and Clindamycin cap 300 mg for sinus infection. Just lately I got acid reflux.... hard to swallow... even when I did it was bad... slight burning to severe burning feeling on the left hand side of my mid upper chest area. I went back again to see the doctor who told me the coughing, wheezing [which now both had stopped... nearly completely] from the sinus infection is proobably the causes of it. He now prescribed AdipHex....
Avatar m tn A few weeks later I went back in still having flow issues, he prescribed cipro for 7 days, which helped for a little while and cleared up flow issues. In the middle of September I was prescribed a z pak for a sinus infection but now I was having some pain in my testicles. I went to another doctor for this and was prescribed 2g of Zithromax, 400mg of cefixime and 2g of flagyl, but no testing.
170935 tn?1225371076 Sounds like your chest infection has not cleared up completely. Your doctor may have put you on the lowest dosage of antibiotic to see if it would clear up your infection. You should go back to your doctor as you may need a stronger dosage of antibiotic. Last year, within a two month period, my husband and I both had a serious chest and sinus infection which required us to continue going back to the doctor to get stronger dosages of antibiotic.
Avatar n tn I was perscribed a single 1000mg tablet of Azithromycin (Zithromax). I took it at about 6pm and half way through the night, my neck (sternocleidomastoid near where it connects to my head) was very sore and swollen, my glands dont seem swollen though. Also felt sinus congestion and all around lousy. I have felt this way for over 60hours. Is this a side effect of Azithromycin? Does anyone have any other info for what might cause this?
Avatar f tn So 6 days after being with him I got a sore throat, which turned into a sinus infection). After doing sinus irrigations, drinking a lot of hot water with apple cider vinger, and eating well for 2 weeks - I seem to be better; however, my throat is now hurting again (it never seemed to go away completely, but mostly). I do not have a fever, I do not have tonsils, and I don't really see any "white spots" or signs of strep.
Avatar n tn I am 3 months pregnant and am prone to sinus infections and it seems the only antibiotic that works for me is biaxin. I have a sinus infection now, is it safe to take biaxin 2 pills together for ten days?
Avatar f tn I just finished a 5 day z pack that was prescribed for a sinus infection that was giving me severe headaches. My heart started to feel funny and I looked at the insert which said could cause irregular hearbeats. I've taken this medication in the past with no issue. I do not have any cardiac disease but I do smoke, should I just wait for about 5 days to see if once the meds are out of my system I'm ok, or should I go see a doctor or go to the ER?
Avatar f tn m pretty sure it DID help the sinus infection/congestion, but for the last few days the shakiness, leg weakness, and occasional hot and sweaty feeling has been back. My left cheek and neck are a little swollen and feel sore, too, which started again last night. The hot and shaky and weak thing is really bad tonight. I can hardly do anything without getting shaky and sick. It feels like when you have the flu and you're so sick you can barely do anything.
Avatar n tn and I just took it also about two weeks ago for a sinus infection... Will my baby be ok. Ive read that most doctors dont even test for it and its very common, but also miscarriage and birthing an unhealthy baby at 20 weeks is typical. I'm so afraid. Please help. ANY advise would do some good.
1949068 tn?1449628519 Hello, I have been having an low grade fever for a month or month and an half as of today? I just finished up my antibiotics (Augmentin XR) today also.

I was diagnosed with an ear & sinus infection.
Avatar n tn A sinus infection due to a tooth infection is usually in the maxillary sinues, so a Neilmed Sinus Rinse is probably best for you--available at drugstores for about $13
Avatar n tn gave me 10 day 2 dosage of doxycycline just in case. Swab test for chlamydia was positive and I finished remainder of antiobiotics. Since then I have still felt a mild discomfort (especially after prolonged sitting). I went back in Mid Oct to get HIV test & swab test again. Negative result for chlamydia,HIV, and the dr. even examined my clear fluid under microscope for trich. Dr. gave me 1 dosage of antiobiotic (methadizole however you spell it) just in case for trich infection.
Avatar n tn t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.
5268376 tn?1406179712 My doctor Prescribed Zithromax i time dose at 2 500mg pills for an infection, and I have history of benign pvc's and pac's , while taking it i felt horrible . I felt worse than i have ever felt in life. It gave me unclear thoughts, I couldn't drive due to a foggy mind, it made my heart race and skip , i actually had to go to the ER because i thought I would die.
Avatar m tn Doctor gave me a z-pack for Sinus infection , which is first day 500mg and 4 days 250mg, but I just found out I have Chlamydia.
Avatar f tn t work, and they informed me I just needed to take a stronger dose, but after feeling worse from taking them in the first place I am worried this may not just be a sinus infection, as our university health services are notoriously shoddy. I have never struggled this much with a sinus infection before and my neck and back pain is intense and is making it hard to go through the day, along with the sinus issues. In looking on my own some sites stated it could be mono, or even meningitis.
Avatar n tn ve been fighting what appears to be a mild cold - sinus congestion and coughing up yellowish mucus, glands slightly swollen and tender under the arms and in the groin, but no fever or diarrhea - for about a week For my own peace of mind should I test for HIV? Would taking the Zithromax for bronchitis as I did address any other potential STDs? Thanks again for your time and service.
Avatar n tn A few days later I started feeling tingling sensations towards the tip of my penis. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with chlamydia and tested negative for gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, I was prescribed the 1000mg dose of zithromax, I took the pills and ate two hours after I took the pill (the directions said take 1 hour prior to eating).
