Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax sinus infection

zithromax

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 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 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 zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar f tn About 4 hours later i was freaking out and took 1g of zithromax I had left over from sinus problem. About 5 days later I had no symptoms so I had unprotected sex with my wife. Its been 7 days since incident and I have NO discharge or burning when urinating although it feels like i have an unusual sensation in my urethral but suspect its do to nerves. 1 I know its a low risk event but what are the chance of me getting an STD i.e Gonorrhea with me taking 1g of zithromax 4 hours later.
Avatar f tn Come to find out, I have a double ear infection, 3 way sinus infection, and stage 1 phnuemonia(sp). 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.
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.
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 I am shaky, weak, sweaty off and on, hot with flushed face off and on, and easily tired. My left cheek and neck are a little painful and swollen. I keep thinking this is an infection but I just finished Augmentin and my thermometer hasn't risen above 99.0 tonight. History: About 2 months ago I got a sinus infection which I thought would go away on its own, but it didn't, so 3 weeks ago I got a round of Zithromax.
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.

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 I had the same experience for 5 years, and I took, on different occasions, Levaquin, a Z-pack, and Augmentin. Awesome antiobiotics indeed, they killed every pathogen in my body except several in my sinuses, which grew back immediately. According to Mayo Clinic research, sinus infections don't follow the regular model of tissue infection. I've borne out that research with a sinus flush that washes out the infected mucus, and I am on my 5th year of clear sinuses.
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 m tn Hi, I took 1 g of zithromax for Chlamydia and 400 mg of Suprax for Gonorrhea as i had symptoms of the following: - burn while urination - smelly urine - stomach ache, lower back pain & joint pains. - blood in urine near finishing - desire to urine more frequently even if it was a little amount - white discharge Sent in a urine test 4 days ago but dont get the results until next week.
Avatar m tn About three weeks ago i had unprotested sex with a woman, who I have no idea her sexual past. Aprrox. 2 weeks ago i got a chest and sinus cold. My doc put me on Zithromax, the next day I started to feel burning while peeing, so I started taking cipro with the zithro thinking I had a UTI. The burning did not go away, i went and saw my doc about this and he took swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
1472764 tn?1287588186 m thinking about getting it done for my sinus infection. I went to the dr. today and he wanted to give me a zpac and I said no way. 1 - it doesn't work 2 - i'm preggers 3 - they make me worse. But I did let him give me a steroid shot. He said it would not hurt the baby in any way. I didn't like it but I did it. I'm absolutely miserable with this stuff. So I'm really thinking about accupunture for it.
Avatar f tn Okay I've had yellow discahrge and burning since last July. I've been tested for STI's all were negative. Well last Friday my girlfriend took me to the hospital because of the burning and the pain the hospital tested for trich yeast gonherra and chlymidia. They said it was all negative and sent me home. Well I went to my gyno Tuesday and she checked me for yeast and said I had a horrible yeast infection that I had to have for months.
5915949 tn?1396188227 They say its a class B which means there arent any studies whether its safe or not. 16wks and have a sinus infection and I'm wondering has anyone taken a Z-pack for antibiotics and had any complications?
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 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 My blood work showed I have mychoplasma and it manifested in a sinus infection. Azithromycin did nothing and has failed every time I have taken it for mychoplasma. Doxycycline worked and has been the only antibiotic that has ever gotten rid of mychoplasma for me or anyone I know who has had it. Most people I know who have had mycho say that Azithromycin was like taking a placebo and they either had to take Doxy or Leviquin to get rid of it.
