2095738 tn?1339825243 I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and have had a double ear infection for over 2 weeks. I had them several times last year starting this time of year and always needed the super strength prescription with steroids. Because I'm pregnant, my doc is afraid to prescribe anything other than amoxicillin, but my ears have gotten so much worse. Has anyone been able to take anything different?
Avatar m tn I have had a chronic ear infection in my right ear since I was 2. I had tubes put in my ear and after being on oral medication for 3 years my mom requested I be taken off them because they didn't appear to be working. Between ages of 7 and 18 I had 3 surgeries to clean the ear and a fourth surgery to remove 3 bones and the ear drum.
Avatar f tn Has anyone used medicated ear drops for an ear infection? Im in my second trimester.
Avatar f tn So yesterday I went to the Dr for an ear infection and the Dr said it was pretty bad. He prescribed me amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day for 10 days. He said it was safe but I am scared. I have called and left a message for my drs assistant. Waiting for a call back. Have any of you had to take this in this dossage?
Avatar f tn Idk about the ear drops, but amoxicillin is definitely safe. I had amoxicillin in my previous pregnancy for boils. Check with your ob/gyn about the ear drops.

Avatar m tn I have been taking a course of amoxicillin for this ear infection. They seem to be working as symptoms are progressively going away but I am getting very light headed and dizzy off them. Is it the amoxicillin doing this ?

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with middle ear infection. I was given amoxicillin and it brought the swelling in my lymph node down. I noticed the swell is back with slight tightness as before? Could it be more serious or the medication wasn't strong enough?
Avatar f tn They put her on amoxicillin for the ear infection. After taking 3 doses of the amoxicillin she broke out in Hives on her hands, legs, and feet. She was taken off the amoxicillin but the rash has now continued for a week now. It will appear and last about 5 minutes and then it is gone. It almost looks like blisters coming up on her feet. I took her to the doctor again today (1 week later) and they told me that she has erytherma multiforme caused from the amoxicillin.
Avatar f tn My 8 month old was given a 10 days course of amoxicillin for an ear infection. We finished the antibiotic and 2 days later, my son started breaking out in hives. He has been doing this for 36 hours now. They come and go, they will appear in one area, disappear, then appear in another. The on-call nurse (it's the weekend) told us he probably has a virus, treat it with benadryl every 6 hours and the hives should go away in 2-3 days.
Avatar f tn I was taking cephalexin for a really bad throat and ear infection I had two weeks ago.
Avatar f tn Thanks. I will go back and have them look at my ear and examine my neck. She looked in my ear and didn't see anything and quickly prescribed amoxicillin. I think she might have missed something or just gave me a low dosage prescription.
Avatar f tn I am on amoxicillin for a sinuse infection and am experiencing jaw pain and can hardly open my mouth. It' hurts to eat and the pain is also in my ear and runs down my neck. What does this mean?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Amoxicillin a couple days ago for strep throat and an ear infection and when I opened the bottle to take it I noticed that it smelled bad. I don't know if it's normal or not so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Avatar n tn National Library of Medicine, amoxicillin is available in a pediatric drop form for infants. Each ml of this bubble-gum flavored liquid contains 50 mg of amoxicillin, states Rx List. Babies under the age of 3 months receive 30 mg of amoxicillin each day for every 2.2 lb. of body weight, according to Rx List. Pediatric drops can be placed directly in the mouth or mixed with baby formula, juice or water, notes Drugs.com.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Amoxicillin for an ear infection since 6/2. On Thursday, I began to feel like I was getting a yeast infection. No cottage cheese discharge, but lots of pain and itching. I have had many yeast infections in the past, which began this way. Should I treat with OTC meds?
Avatar f tn Today I took my 15 month old son to one of his regular checkups. His doctor had noticed some fluid in his left ear and said he had a small infection. I told her he had a cold and some congestion but I didn't know about his ear. She prescribed him Amoxicillin for his ear and told me something about the dosage. All I remember her saying is something about 1 tsp.
2017838 tn?1330598150 Sinus infections can cause the popping in the ears, as inflammation in the nose and sinuses can cause inflammation around the Eustachian tube, which is the tube that runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear and is responsible for draining the middle ear of fluid. If there is Eustachian tube dysfunction from nose or sinus inflammation, fluid can remain in the middle ear which can lead to ear pain. As the infection resolves, your symptoms should come down.
Avatar f tn m 32+ 1 and am currently on Amoxicillin twice a day for the ear infection. Amoxicillin is a catagory B antibiotic which is safe for baby. Feel better.
Avatar f tn 8, the same night the pain was really strong to the point where it would only subside if I was putting pressure on it with an ice pack or hot water bottle, doctor confirmed I had a middle ear infection and prescribed me 5 days of amoxicillin. I took them as directed but after the 5 days I still had ear pain, it was no where near as bad but still prevalent, I spoke with a doctor and she prescribed me 5 days of erythromycin and said it can sometimes take 10 days to clear.
Avatar f tn My doctor put me on amoxicillin for 7 days because of small infection. Is it okay to be taking this while I'm pregnant.?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a bacterial ear infection in Nov 2011 which the Dr said had spread to my throat, and was given a seven day course of cephalexin (keflex). The throat instantly felt better but the ear infection appeared to spread from the left ear to my right ear (fullness, popping, pain). I was prescribed a five day course of Zithromax over the phone which seemed to help, the ears drained fluid and no longer felt full but I still had pain behind my left ear and popping in both ears.
Avatar f tn I have a ear infection caused by viral infection had sore throat N congestion which I now would trade for this awful ear infection which they put me on amoxicillin and claritin and told Me take tylenol for .. pink eye developed 2-3 days after started antibiotics which my doctor found strange I'm hoping it will clear fast BC didn't give me anything in addition for it and also got yeast infection from the antibiotics!!!!
