Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax for sore throat

zithromax

Avatar m tn Hi I would like to understand from other users, what is a normal response time for a strep sore throat to heal. Had a progressively worsening sore throat for 3 days, rapid test positive for strep. Started Zithromax 500mg per day for 5 days due to penicillin allergy. Now starting my 3rd day of treatment with no change in pain status. Have gargled every few hours with salt or apple cider vinegar; no relief. Should I become worried?
Avatar m tn It started as a sore throat which quickly moved to my chest and now im wheezing and coughing like crazy. Nose is running slightly but not crazy. I was at the doc for a previous test result and she heard my chest and prescribed Zithromax saying that it could be a chest infection. I don't want to take antibiotics for what feels like a regular cold after only 3-4 days. My mucus is white, my throat is not swollen. Is the zithro even going to do anything?
Avatar n tn Z-pack for Strep Throat? Hmmmm. I think he/she should have probably went in the direction of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, i.e. Amoxicillin vs. Zithromax. I have seen Zithromax ordered for Strep Throat, but not that often.
Avatar n tn Fast forward two weeks - I was feeling fatigued, my glands on my neck were slightly sore, and I had a really sore throat. I went to my regular doctor and he gave me a 5 day course of amoxicillin to clear my throat. It worked fine. Now, I have just found out that the stripper works as a prostitute. I am really worried now - she is a sex worker, and may have had some type of sore on her mouth. Is it possible that the first blood test failed to detect an STI that is in the beginning stages?
Avatar m tn I had a bad sore throat about 9 days ago and the doctor prescribed zithromax to treat it (not strep-throat). So I began taking the antibiotics. On day 3 I saw my doctor about the urethra discomfort. I tested negative for chlamydia and he diagnosed me with NGU. So on day four, I took 2 doses of 500mg of Zithromax within ~8 hours apart. However, he prescribed taking 1g in 1 dose. It is about 30 hours after taking the first 500mg and I still have slight discomfort.
Avatar m tn Niether your recurring sore throat, nor your partner's rash raise concerns for me. If your partner's lesions is painful, she should have it evaluated but I see no reason to worry about either syphilis or HSV. Obviously I cannot see the lesion to make an accurate diagnosis but folliculitis lesions can be rather large.
Avatar m tn I think I have this but ive had an off and on sore throat and inner lips for a year and ive had persistent sore throat for over a month now. I went to the doctor Tuesday and said if it has last longer then a few weeks that it is bacterial. I am taking zithromax i have one day left and it doesn't seem to be helping.
Avatar n tn 28 weeks My husband is sick with strep throat, im coming down with the symptoms. . (Body aches, chills, sore throat, headache) just left the doctors she prescribed Zithromax Z-Pak...anyone ever during a pregnancy?
Avatar n tn These tests came back negative. I did have a sore throat 5 days after which lasted 2 days and there is very mild burning during urination with no unusual discharge. My questions are whether or not testing orally and with urine 3 days post potential exposure is enough time for these to show up and whether the negative result can be relied upon. I know the risk of transmission from this type of activity is low but I really want to know if I can rely on the results. Thanks for your time.
Avatar m tn He subscribed me 2 x 500mg tablets of Zithromax, which I took straight away. The sore throat disappeared by the end of the day surprisingly. however about 10 days later I started to get this feeling of swelling/pain around my neck area, which lasted nearly a couple of weeks. I can't confirm whether they were swollen lymph nodes; I didn't notice them swelling, they just felt painful/numb. I don't recall any major fevers, though I did sometimes have that feeling of being just sick.
Avatar m tn (simply carrying an umbrella for a while makes my palm get red). And a severe sore throat the feels like it is blocked. I would normally be convinced this isn't an STD, and instead another disease, as looking up the symptoms on the net suggests an autoimmune disorder more than an STD (although I'd like to believe it's just a flu). The only thing that is bugging me is that the said girl also developed a sore throat (at around Oct.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the STD forum. You undoubtedly mean HSV (herpes simplex virus), not HPV (human papillomavirus). Oral infections with HSV-2 are quite rare. Most likely your commercial partner doesn't have genital herpes (most CSWs don't have it); and if she did, the odds are small that she was shedding the virus; even then, the mouth and throat are not highly susceptible to HSV-2; and finally your symptoms don't sound like a new HSV oral infection.
Avatar f tn I gave unprotected oral sex to another man 4 weeks ago and took semen in my mouth. I had very mild inflammation of the glands in my throat, but that seems to be passing and other friends have similar complaints of bugs causing a sore throat. . I've noticed a very small lump on my hard palate for the last day or so. It is just a small lump that is tender (maybe due to the fact that I keep pressing it), doesn't look ulcerated and is a similar colour to the rest of the palate (red/white).
341551 tn?1266980730 I would contact your doc and see if you can get a prescrption for zithromax. It will take care of everything withen 48 hours. I had phumonia(sp) double ear infection and double sinus infection back in June or July, my doc gave me zithromax and prednisone and my symptoms were cleared up in 72 hours. The only other thing my doc would allow me to take was robitussin DM, and or Mucinex DM Which in my case never worked, you can also use cough drops to help with the sore throat.
Avatar f tn Hello, a few times a year, I get swollen lymph glands under the jaw, and at the same time a sore throat and a high fever. My doctor prescribed me Zithromax and I was told to take it every time I have the same symptoms (500mg dose daily for three days). I have the same symptoms now and it is very painful, however I did have unprotected sex three days ago with someone who has apparently had unprotected sex themselves many times and never been tested.
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 n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I visited my boyfriend in Paris and he had a bad cough that would wake him up at night. But he didn't seem sick at all. 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).
Avatar m tn The photos are on my profile page. I have not went to an ear nose and throat doctor but last Thursday I went to a walk in clinic. Doctor gave me zithromax and said that he didn't believe it was viral because I've had a sore throat for over a month.
3180166 tn?1344481813 It sounds like an inner ear problem in addition to sore throat and usually when you ears are infected it can throw your balance off and sometimes make you naseated. Has anyone checked your ears?
Avatar m tn ( I have use marijuana for a little more then 1/2 a hr now and really didnt smoke it while i had a sore throat, hwever i did eat it a few times in a recipe foor a pot cookie) So a lot of friends in town i was finally feeling better and decided to finally smoke some marijuana again. Well when that weekend was over my sore throat that i had nursed back to health came back :( So i went to the doctor to get some antibiotics.
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm really worried about an STD like herpies. Though I do have some very small unnoticeable bumps on my upper and lower lips and a bit on the upper part of my chin. I noticed them because they itched a little. I asked my boyfriend if there was something he wasn't telling me, and he answered that he doesn't have anything. Also My throat hurts a little bit, and my lower back occasionally.
Avatar m tn I have been having a burning sensation on the tip of m penis as well as buring in my feet and buttocks with occasional drowsiness and sore throat. I had unprotected sex with a girl when I was drunk and 2 days later i got these symptoms. I took some zithromax which helped but then after taking it 4 days later I had protected sex and the symptoms came back. I don't know if I have herpes or something else. Please HELP I'm freaking out.
Avatar f tn I'm the Sex with An Ex post. The main symptoms I'm having are the metal taste in my mouth, throat is a little sore and I have lost my appetite. My pap results won't be in till next Wednesday and it's already been 11 days since the encounter.
Avatar m tn I went to my doctor and he did a blood test and urinalysis and also scheduled an ultrasound as well as prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days for a throat infection. Nothing turned up. 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.
