Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax for tooth infection

zithromax

Avatar f tn I tested positive for chlamydia 3 weeks ago and negative for everything else including HIV (test at 7 weeks). I was given Zithromax 1g, which i have previously had before for a single other STD infection a few years ago (also chlamydia). The symptoms of the chlamydia seemed to disappear completely after one week. However at the end of the 2nd week after treatment i began to get symptoms again.
Avatar n tn The prednisolone and vitamin E would be for the auto-immune part of the disease and the Zithromax should cover the secondary bacterial infection. Zithromax is excellent for upper respiratory infections and it also is effective against Bartonella. I would continue with the Lysine for a possible Herpes infection just in case. It is just an amino acid so there is absolutely no contraindications.
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 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 m tn , I have had unprotected sex with a girlfriend and after three weeks i experienced a cloudy discharge from my penis and also a tingling sensation which I suspect as a chlamydial infection or NGU. I took 1g of zithromax and also took 5days of doxycycline 100mg. bid. After the medication my symptoms disappeared. 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.
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 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 It's possible, i'll do a follow up for sure, just wanted to know how long it could take Zithromax to completely cure clhamydia, thanks!
Avatar m tn I have been given 2 x 500 mg capsules for my chlamydia infection but as i don't like taking tablets I'v opened the capsules and poured the contents into a cup of tea with 1 Teaspoon full of sugar. To make sure i have consumed the full dose i made another cup of tea in the same cup and consumed it again. Two weeks later my older brother has told me the heat would of rendered the anti-biotic useless and that i still would have chlamydia.
Avatar n tn I checked with my PCP and got diagnosed with an ear infection, for which I am on the 4th day of Zithromax. He also gave me Vicodin for the jaw pain. The ear pain has settled down; however, the jaw pain (can't even pinpoint the tooth anymore) is solidly in my left jaw, molar area, and up to the top jaw as well. The pain responds somewhat to aspirin and Vicodin, but comes back in an hour or so after medicating. The pain itself feels like a vice grip coupled with a sharp throb.
Avatar m tn So i went to the E.R. tonight for moderate pain in my lower abdomen and frequent urination ( suspected a UTI ). After my urine came back clean and free of sugars the E.R. doctor gave me the dreaded swab saying that he suspected gonorrhea or chlamydia. I informed him that I'd been with the same partner for 9 years and that this didn't seem likely His only response to this was that she should get checked too. Now my concern is that I'm being medicated for something that I do not have.
Avatar n tn Hi, I need some advise regarding my teeth. I had a root canal done on my tooth 19th maybe about 3 years ago. 2 years ago my gum swelled because of pus & infection therefore the dentist did another root canal to remove the infection. I found out last sep. that there's some infection underneath that same tooth again, but because of some complication with insurance i didn't do anything about it till now. This time there's no swelling or pain or any sort of discomfort.
Avatar f tn I was given zithromax pills to cure an infection, the pills were to big for me to swallow so I let them dissolve in a little water, then drunk them. Will they have the same effect even though I did not swallow them whole????
Avatar f tn I have been prescribed Clindamycin to clear up a possible tooth infection. I was wondering if anyone has had any heart rhythm problems attributed to antibiotics. I have pvcs/pacs, all tests, ekg, echo has come back completely normal. Im just worried about taking a new medication,, afraid it may cause the palpitations to be worse, better yet cause a dangerous arrythmia!! Any advice would be great!!
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 zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar m tn Thankyou for your answers.... her infection most likely will not be gono but perhaps another type of STI ?? What could cause the symptoms in her but remain invisible in me ?
Avatar n tn t get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
Avatar f tn m worried, I shamefully cheated on my wife one time only on the 5th of June, 5 days later I strted to need to pee all the time, I visited my doctor on the 15th June and he tested me for Clymadia and Gonnorhea and gave me 1 gram of Zithromax to take straight away. The results came back negative. 2 weeks later the need to urinate came back again, and 4 times since then I've had a tiny amount of clear discharge in the morning.
Avatar f tn even if the tooth falls out the infection could have already damaged the bone and other teeth. run to the dentist now!!!!!
Avatar m tn I received zithromax (azithromycin) for 5 days. (500 mg the first day and 250 mg day 2-5). The symptoms have improved, for example I no longer have the morning discharge that I had before and the stains in my underwear have almost disappeared. It is now 5 days since I took the last dose of zithromax. I still have some mucus strings and mucus debris in my urine. I did not have this before the STD so I know it is not normal for me.
1580703 tn?1651904887 You should not be taking zithromax for six weeks. Antibiotics are toxic, and should not be used unless there is an actual infection. Prescribing zithromax for six weeks, withiout evidence of an actualo bacterial infection, on the remote chance it might cure asthma represents questionable reasoning. There was a recent death from excessive use of zithromax. There is a reason they are prescribed in a packet with only so many capsules.
Avatar n tn I visited a STD clinic was treated with 1gm of Zithromax,was tested for CHlamidia, Gonorrea, syph, HIV- all negative. The irritation cleared up in 3 days. 3 weeks later the irritation started again. I visited my family doctor, he put me on Cipro which did nothing. I visited the STD clinic again, got tested for everything again, and came out negative. They gave me 1gm of zithromax which cleared everything up after a few days- but the irritation came back after 2.5 weeks.
Avatar m tn Hi, I got a bride fitted on my top left side, it is 4 teeth and fits on the tooth next to the top left wisdom tooth, obviously that tooth was ground and made smaller for the bridge to fit on it, the tooth was absolutely healthy and fine, i have never had any problems with that tooth earlier, the day grinding took place that tooth became sore, very very sensitive and I had to get temp.
Avatar n tn s mouth to another person. If you had penile chlamydia the infection may have been present for some time as an asymptomatic infection or it may have been transmitted to you. either way, the 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin should be curative. There is no recommended need for follow-up chlamydial testing. If you were not tested for gonorrhea, testing is a good idea. Given your exposures however, I would emphasize the need to have your throat tested at the time of testing.
4322328 tn?1353998038 Go see a dentist but for now try gargling with salt water. Your baby isn't hurt inside but if it is an infection in your tooth and it doesn't get fixed it could move into your blood which would be bad.
