You may need to see and ENT doctor.
Avatar n tn on research I see that amoxicillin has a wide dosing range you should be okay, but of course get in touch with the doctor to make sure..
Avatar n tn 7days) and do not respond to over-the-counter nasal medications.For bacterial sinusitis,antibiotics like amoxicillin,cefaclor,clarithromycin or augmentin may be needed.They are available on prescription.So you have to consult an ENT specialist in that case. Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn My cat had an abscess on his back - which I have enough experience with to treat myself. I have owned cats for 30 years. I have been able to clear and heal the wound and have been dosing him with amoxicillin. He seems to have an allergy to this antibiotic as I have discovered hes been throwing up in the basement. This is the usual drug I use to treat abscess-type infections and I want to make sure the interior infection clears up.
Avatar f tn Hi, probably this is sinusitis. Pressure or headache while bending is seen in sinusitis. Accumulation of mucus in sinuses behind cheeks, eyes etc.causes these kind of symptoms. Try steam inhalation, anti inflammatory drugs along with anti histaminics and antibiotics (amoxicillin, levofloxacin etc) for a week or so. Sinus drainage is also done but only after confirmation of diagnosis. MRI sinuses usually show up the pathology. Visit website http://www.umm.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis. I had a scan that showed significant swelling and infection in most of my sinuses. This has been going on for months but I did not really realize it, only symptoms I had were post nasal drip and tons of fatigue. Months earlier, during a flair up in sinus symptoms, I was put on Amoxicillin for a short course but it was not long enough to completely wipe out the infection.
Avatar m tn Or sinusitis? Often sinusitis can be helped with using a humidifier. We usually carry some bacteria in the nose and it is okay. What type of bacteria is the problem? what are your symptoms? Is it headache and sinus pressure?
Avatar m tn Almost a month ago I was taken to the ER with a feeling of dizziness, unbalance, anxiety, etc. A CT scan revealed sinusitis. I was given amoxicillin for a week and meclizine as needed for dizziness. The symptoms remained of sinusitis, heavy head, etc., but I had no drainage of sinuses. I saw an ENT who said he thought it was normally on its way out, and a culture revealed no active infection.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone. At the end of March I had a really bad headache. I took 800mg of ibprofen and it the pain went away but my head constantly ached all over for awhile. I was then told it was chronic sinusitis just a few weeks ago and I was prescribed amoxicillin and I'm taking tylenol because I have pressure in my head because my sinuses were so swollen it was pushing everything toward my head. I used a netipot for a little awhile then my nose starting bleeding so I stopped.
Avatar m tn I went to the med clinic and the Dr. said I had sinusitis and gave me amoxicillin which took away the sore throat and swollen gland in about 5-7 days. The really bad part is that I also had sex with my girlfriend two days after my encounter and exactly two weeks later she got sick with a sore throat and nausea. I know I need to get tested but my questions are: 1. Would amoxicillin take away the sore throat and swollen gland if it was HIV? 2.
Avatar m tn Also, Read any article on sinusitis and you will see that chronic sinusitis is extremely common in HIV infected patients. I have read on numerous posts you claim that this has nothing to do with HIV, when infact it really does.
Avatar m tn I have tinnitus, hoarseness (for the last month+) and sinusitis. I had neurological symptoms (mostly numb right pinkie toe, twitching in left foot arch, cramps in right foot) starting in Sept/October 2013 with the hyper phase of thyroiditis and they continue today. I had a low MPV and RDM in several blood tests. High Basophil in one. My main symptoms that persist are the neurological ones. I have been negative for Lymes, but my doctor still believes I have it.
Avatar m tn For this head pressure issue I was diagnosed initially with sinusitis and given amoxicillin by the NHS walk in clinic. Then my GP told me to stop the amoxicillin and just get bed rest. I independently went to a Radiologist at Charing Cross for an MRI. I also went back to my GP with the same symptoms, I was given Topamax 50mg to take one a day and told I would be referred to my local Neurology deparment. The results of the MRI came back normal.
12563078 tn?1427508556 I had 20 seconds of unprotected vaginal sex with prostitute 53 days ago, I then developed tonsilitis along with sinusitis 16 days post exposure but have no fever or rashes or any other symptom till date, I have taken full course antibiotics azithromycin and amoxicillin but the tonsilitis won't go away, Its already 5 weeks since I had tonsilitis and I have never had sore throat this long does this justify acute infection?
Avatar m tn Started off almost two months ago with light headed and dizzy. Doc said you have allergies that aren't draining. Gave me prednisone and flonase, to no avail. Doc said if prednisone doesn't work must be infection. Prescribed amoxicillin. Took amoxicillin for the course and started draining like crazy right at end of medication course. Drained and blew my nose every 10 minutes and even more in times of sweat and heat.
Avatar n tn I have a small dog (11lbs) and she was recently at the vet for an injury to her head and other lacerations from another dog. I always worry about over dosing because of her size. She was given 0.30 cc Rimadyl 0.80 cc Buprenex 2.00mg Dexamethasone 1.50cc Amoxicillin. I questioned the vet about this because of the Buprenex with a head injury and more pain meds when she had not even woken up at any time before she passed.
Avatar m tn He said the x-ray showed no infection in the tooth and no decay. He prescribed me amoxicillin (500 mg, 3x per day for 6 days, and a refill if necessary. He said if the pain doesn't go away then I might need a root canal or have the tooth pulled anyway. I'm skeptical and asking for advice here because I had a terrible root canal experience on the other side of my mouth about two months ago and the tooth ended up being pulled after a week of excruciating pain.
Avatar f tn i was diagnosed with a sinus infection and have been taking amoxicillin for 6 days now with no improvement. i feel groggy and tired all the time. and very irritable. any kind of noise, stress makes it worse. i have tried taking darvocett, maxalt, excederin migraine and none of these are working. I had a CT scan and thats where they found the sinus infection. Could there be any underlying problems for the persistant migraines. It is keepin me away from work.
Avatar m tn I went to the dentist 3 days ago she said there is nothing they can do until i finish antibiotic treatment so she prescribed to me 875mg of amoxicillin + 125mg of clavulanate EVERY 8 HOURS. I pretty much been in extreme tooth pain and to add to that every time i take this i get pretty bad stomach pain i describe it as the empty feeling you have when you don't eat anything but x10, so i did some searching and i could not find anywhere saying 875mg every 8 hours i only saw every 12 hours.
