zithromax

Avatar f tn zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar m tn But do you think that a staph infection could be behind all this (I have already been tested for gonococci and streptococcus; and it was negative…; but not for staph) ? The doctors I have seen told me it was unlikely because staph is commensal and symptoms don't match … I don't have found very much information about staph and sore throat (or chronic infection) in the scientific literature or elsewhere. What is your opinion about that ? Thanks.
Avatar n tn I also had a tender lymph node on one side of my groin. Took prescription of 1g Azithromycin and Cipro for me as well as partner on 6/4. Since then her eyes have gotten worse, as has my painful urination. The discharge has increased and gone from clear to milky. We've been taking amoxicillin 500mg x 3 since 6/6 with no sign of improvement in any of the conditions. In fact, I am now developing the conjunctivitis!
Avatar n tn My culture comes back positive for staph. I had never heard of a vaginal staph infection. My doctor prescribed Cipro (tests showed the staph was resistant to penicillin) and after two rounds (three days each) it has finally cleared up again (again, about a week after my cycle has ended and after two three-day rounds of the cipro). She also recommends having a herpes blood test done because she wonders how I contracted the staph and why it is recurring with my cycle.
Avatar m tn This is consitent with the first swab which showed coage neg staph, which is the case in some strains of Staph Aureus. For 1 month I was off all meds. The infection never went away and the discharge appeared most mornings after not urinating for more than 5-6 hours while sleeping. Some days big, some days not so big. Went straight to the doc when I returned from overseas. The doctor perscribed bactrim. In two days there has been no discharge. Still have a sensitive glans penis.
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 What is the proper treatment for NGU or just Urethritis? Is 1gm of Zithromax the preffered and correct treatment? Or is another medication better? Thanks.
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 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 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 She got a pimple near the corner of her mouth that resembled the bumps on her foot. A couple of days later, after I got out of the shower and took my second day of zithromax for a sore throat, I started to notice immediately 2 bumps on my hand, three bumps on my other hand, two on my foot and two in my mouth on my tongue. I don't know if this is a cross between a dermatological problem or an oral problem.
Avatar f tn I have staph infection a little above my pelvis but on my stomach. I was 3 days late for my period when j went to the doctors and they prescribed me antibiotics. I took a pregnancy test and it showed up negative but I am now 5 days late. Could this be from the staph infection??
Avatar f tn Hi, Recurrent boils or furunculosis are skin abscesses that may be caused by the Staph bacteria. In between outbreaks of boils, the bacteria responsible (staph) is still present on your body and thus may lead to recurrence. Talk to your doctor of a possibility of a chronic staph carrier so that proper prophylaxis may be done. Physicians have tried eradicating the staph by simply applying an antibiotic to the nose each month, and this approach sometimes is successful.
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 m tn I noticed this week my semen seemed a bit tinted and ejaculation force was poor. This is after the rocephin, Zithromax, and doxy for several days. Feels uncomfortable to sit this week. Poop feels hot. But now I am so freaked out I can't tell what's real.
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 m tn But after getting over the inital shock, I will deal with it. You can too. If you have it frozen off it may not come back. Now as for the Staph infection or possibly MRSA. that is more serious really. Did they give you antibiotics for it? Try to not scratch it and keep your hands away as much as possible until it is gone as it can spread. Keep underwear, clothes and towels washed and separate.
Avatar m tn I just got over an uncomplicated case. See the doc. Tell him what you need and be persistant. If you have had staph for 10 years I feel bad, I had it for a month. It sucks.
