90270 tn?1199334469 and having fewer exacerbations. I have been on Zithromax now for a year and a half now and doing okay in the asthma dept. I am glad that your son is doing much better.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I'm not really sure anymore about taking zithromax as an asthma cure- my doctor said in rare cases it can cure asthma.
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 n tn for someone with asthma problems for forty more years now, the doctor then diagnosed her with bronchoectasis.. how does asthma relate to bronchoectasis? and from what i asked the patient, she is not on any of the antibiotics common for bronchoectasis..
Avatar n tn My 6 year old woke up one morning a month ago with a constant dry hacking half cough. He has been on Zithromax, pro air inhaler, qvar inhaler, and orapred. Nothing has helped. His lungs are clear so they have ruled out asthma. Now they are referring him to an allergy doctor. How can it be an allergy when he does not have any allergy symptoms? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
312330 tn?1245176752 Are any of you taking theophylline for your asthma? If so, have you had a lot of side effects from it? My doc is considering trying this, just looking for people's experience.
Avatar m tn I have been seeing a pulmonary doctor and was tested for asthma and was told i had asthma, was put on advere for 2 weeks and had another asthma test done and then was told i dont have asthma and was referred to have sinus cat scan. pulmonary doctor then tells me i have chronic sinusitis on the right side and prescribed antibiotics zithromax for 14 days.
Avatar f tn I posted this in the other community as well but haven't received any opinions as of yet. Thanks in advance for any replies. I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or if I could get some insight as to what might be going on here. I have been frequently prescribed antibiotics (no penicilin or sulfa as I have been allergic since a child) over the past two years for having several bouts of sinus infections, throat infections and bronchitis symptoms.
Avatar n tn We are at a loss for ideas and his patience for seeing doctors (and funds for it) is wearing thin. Any suggestions? Ideas? Cures? Thanks!
Avatar m tn Burning chest and at times burning throat or dry throat. Feels like I been screaming. I feel pressure around my jaws. I went back to my original doctor and he gave me Augmentin (antibiotics). He said one of my tonsils are a little swollen. And that the lymph nodes under my jaw are slightly enlarged, but not much. I told the doctor its been 2 months but he does not seem worried. Week 8: I became obsessed with my lymph nodes and started pressing them under my chin. Now one feels inflamed.

Avatar m tn I was with someone exposed to both. I am taking one dose of 1.5g of zithromax to stop or cure myself from catcing of having either one. Will this work and or do the job?
Avatar m tn based on fact it recurred twice having taken 1g Zithromax but on 3rd attempt of 1g Zithromax it went away for 4years? I.e If it was MG in first instance it appeared to be resistant to first two doses of 1g Zithromax so it would't have gone away on the third dose. 4) Could it be herpes? I have no symptoms. Should I get a type specific HSV test? Would it give a definitive answer for herpes? 5) My regular partner was checked before for Chlym & Gono. Nothing found.
Avatar f tn I was on Zithromax for the 7 mos...initially at 250 mg, then 500 mg daily. I had heard the mycoplasma can cause significant, difficult to control asthma exacerbations. My quality of life has diminished significantly ever since Oct 2012. Where I was able to enjoy distance cycling, I now have SOB every day despite multiple respiratory meds and periodic high dose steroids. Luckily I can still work. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
454221 tn?1259445739 m not so lucky. I also had a positive skin test for TB back in summer 2005 and have been on INH and vitamin b6 treatment since August 27th 2007 and should finish the treatment in late May. Does the INH have anything to do with the bronchitis?
Avatar m tn my wide took amoxcillin 1000 g 2 x times a day for a throat infection. She did this for 8 days. And i took 1g zithromax the same time and we didn't had sex for a week. Oktober: my wife was treated with azithromycine sandoz 1g and 500 mg the next day because she had her wisdom teeth removed. i took doxycycline 100 mg a day for 5 days and also 1,5 g zithromax on day 6. My wufe and i had sex after 7 days that i took the doxy and she the azithromycine. Questions.
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.
Avatar f tn My 2 year old son acquired severe RSV at 6 weeks old. Ever since then he now has virally induced asthma. So he's been hospitalized a few times with bronchiolitis when he was 1 years old. The typical treatment has been 2ce a day pulmicort and 3xs a day to every 4 hours of albuterol. If that didn't work they would add predisone and sometimes zithromax. And those combos knocked it out. Well he now has 3 weeks of a rattling cough that just doesn't go away.
1901977 tn?1333991726 Been feeling like something was coming on for days now, but woke up early this morning with a definitely upper respiratory infection-type thing, including a deep chest cough and a lot of congestion in my chest. I just started my 12th week so I'm not comfortable taking antibiotics or most of the normal over-the-counter meds I use to treat these normally. Any magic solutions from those of you who have been through this before?
Avatar f tn This could be a result of the chlamydia, but it may be worth a call to your doctor. How are you taking the zithromax? You should have taken 1000 mgs at one time for it to be effective. It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing? https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/chlamydia.htm - if you need to, show this to your doctor.
Avatar f tn I got tested and was given 1 gram of zithromax and 7 days of levaquin. That was on monday night i was treated and then that saturday morning I had unprotected sex with an uninfected partner. Is it possible I could have infected the partner? They told me the zithromax would wipe it out right away but it seems from reading these forums that that could not be the case. I have been active since iwth the same person and now I feel I might have been infected agian.
Avatar n tn I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
