zithromax is amoxicillin
Lol what a doctor if he or she gave amoxicillin for staph!! It's usually specific for streptococcus , which is what causes respiratory infections( UTI etc) ! But I'm sure he dint give this to cure your staph infection . Maybe for a additional condition at that time? If he did give you Amoxy ( sure not amoxyclav?) you need to sort this with him...
I went to the doctor and he prescribed me amoxicillin 250mg for 10 days. The amoxicillin seemed like it worked, but it only lessened the amount of pus on my tonsils, it didn't fully cure it. I now have tiny yellow streaks and pus pockets on my tonsils. He also did two rapid strep tests, which both came back negative, so he did a throat culture which I am still waiting to hear the results about. I am freaking out mostly because I hope that I don't have an STD!!!
Hey, thanks, 1 year later I am recovered. Now, though, I fear that I'm suffering from a staph infection. I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend for the first time and a day later she gets a UTI and Bladder infection. She was prescribed antibiotics and given a shot, then a week or two later her symptoms continue. She went back in for more tests and she was given a new antibiotic and given another shot. The test came back and it says she has staph in her urine.
Amoxicillin is safe in pregnancy and the swab sample will most likely give the result of staph infection(common in boil).So amoxicillin can be prescribed because it is the treatment of choice for staph infection.If you don't use the creamthen the baby will not be harmed but left untreated it can cause ocurrence of other boils.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
After one week symptoms persisted again so another culture was done and diagnosed with staph infection. Treated with amoxicillin but after one week symptoms still persist. Another culture done and came back contaminated was treated with metronidazole. Now done with prescription and systems still persist. Going to call doctor to see if another analysis/culture. Any other suggestions on what I should do.
The Description you gave of your Throat w/ the White Streaks, along w/ the Symptoms of Fatigue & feeling run down, as well as having a Loss of Appetite Sounds like Strep Throat or Mono, but did you have a Sore Throat or Fever at any point?? Taking Antibiotics, like Penicillin/Amoxicillin would've Helped if it was Strep, & IF it was Strep w/in 24hrs of starting Antibiotics you're no longer Confessors. I actually just learned all about Strep, bc about 1.
Hello,
Since you are having staph infection, so if your girlfriend has been diagnosed with staph infection then chances are there that the infection got transmitted during physical contact like sexual contact or skin to skin contact. It is very surprising that the infection has not shown much results with antibiotics, In such cases, it is advisable to get the culture sample from the sores and a biopsy skin done which will confirm the diagnosis.
Several months ago i started to have a mild acne on my forehead, I did some exams and came out positive for staph aureus infection and staph epidermidis in two different labs. I took a treatment with antibiotics called ofloxacin 400 mg for ten days, my tests showed to be sensible to this drug. During the treatment the acne almost vanished but after i stopped it the situation was as bad as always.
I noticed this morning that there's no more discharge.. Even the itching has gone also.. I just hope it doesn't come back once I finish the medication..
Please I want to know. How long will it take for the infection to be completely cleared from my system so I don't get to infect my girlfriend?
I had a break out in my mouth last week and by Friday I had a sore on the bottom of my foot that woke me up because of the pain shooting up my leg. Went to doctor and he thinks it is a staph infection put me on antibodic and gave me a shot. Told me if it got worse to go to hospital. I have had these same sores for over 8 years and repeated upper respiratory infections.
So a few weeks ago I got this big boil on my waist that was like an ingrown hair and eventually after about a week went away on its own. You could still see discoloration there but there's no bump and no more pain. However, now I have one on my butt and it's almost the same thing. So I went to the doctor and they told me that it's a bad staph infection and they prescribed me Bactrim. Before I took it the boil was very painful and it hurt to even sit down.
My wife has a staph infection she had to be admitted in to the hosp. She's on antibiotics throuh iv. Night she bumped the sore by acceident and puss came out and she is more pain than before is this a good thing that it is draining?
Folicullitis is usually from staph. Under-skin infection may be from staph or strep. Infection usually invades under the skin if there is any (even slight) skin injury, fissure
If it was contact dermatitis (soap, new clothes or washing detergent), there wouldn't be under-skin fluid, I guess.
It may help, if you check in google using "staph scrotum", "celullitis", "staphylococcus groin", "streptococcus groin" and related terms.
