Avatar m tn Good morning. From the day Saturday I am presenting my right tonsil tonsillitis is swollen and white plates. I went to the doctor and was prescribed amoxicillin for 7 days, but I'm on the 5th and I still feel the pain. It may take a few days to take effect the antibiotic?
Avatar m tn I didn’t agree to this surgery since they had done only basic tests to find the cause for the tonsillitis. Also, I have never had problems with my tonsils before. When I was abroad, my tonsils were again badly inflamed. In the hospital they prescribed me an interferon inducer. Since then my tonsils have been fine. However, some weeks after the tonsillitis cleared, I got geographic tongue and a chronic dry cough. Both have now lasted for many months.

Avatar n tn I had a sore throat in April, and the doctor gave me amoxicillin believing i had strept throat, without swabbing. The antibiotics didn't work until day 7 out of 10, and a few days after i finished the antibitocs it came back. A different doctor prescribed me cefaclor which worked after using it for 1 day. When I finished the prescription, a day after i had a sore throat.

Avatar f tn You had no risk for HIV from what you described. Vegas is a germ infested petri dish so, no wonder you got sick after being there. It has nothing to do with HIV. It has to do with being in close proximity with many other people and touching surfaces that were previously touched by germy people carrying colds, the flu, strep, norovirus, and any numbers of other easily spread bacteria.
Avatar m tn I had a STD screen for all testable stds on 4/11 that were negative. I also took Amoxicillin 500 mg BID 7 days for tonsillitis. I didn't have a sore throat, but had white spots in the throat. On 4/18 I had a tonsillectomy and adenoids removed. The biopsy came back negative, but showed chronic infection. I took Amoxicillin 1200mg liquid Bid for 10 days. I told my primary doctor about the encounters on 4/26.
Avatar m tn I had a throat pain (but not tonsillitis), with very bad taste of mucus. I took a clarithromycinfor (500) for 4-5 days (one tablet per day) at the 3rd day. At different time during the day, I took also Amoxicillin 500 ( 2-3 per day). after 5 days, I stopped taking medicine and my throat pain started to relieve but the problem is: Numbness or Tingling Sensation in my Tongue with feeling of drynessof my mouth.
Avatar f tn I started takimg amoxicillin 3 days ago for tonsillitis and the next day after i started i began having runny eggwhite like orange discharge :/ i read the antibiotic can change discharge but i was wondering if the problem im having sounds like its from that or if it may be some sort of bacterial infection?

Avatar f tn I got ysterday a one-month antibiotic for chronic tonsillitis. It was very difficult to get the diagnosis for the long-lasting ear pain. Ysterday one ENT doctor believed me that I have an infection in my tonsils. He pressed the left tonsil and pus was discharged. This possibly also revealed the cause for my long-lasting erythrocyte microcytosis. Because my thyroid medication has been decreased, my esophageal sphincters may have bocome too loose.
Avatar f tn On Monday around noon, I got a horrible fever and went to urgent care where they did a rapid strep test and mono test - both came out negative and they gave me a prescription for Amoxicillin. Monday night I had a sore throat and 2 white dots on my tonsils. My fever stayed around 100-102 for 24 hours straight and my tonsils became completely white and covered in pus.
Avatar n tn On Monday I went doctor since I had some fever and sore throat, he said it was tonsillitis and prescribed me Augmentin 500g (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) and paracetamol. Okay now I don't have fever anymore and I don't feel the pain, it's getting better so I've stoped with paracetamol. But since yesterday I've started to have diarrhea. It's painless, I just notice some sounds in my stomach and a sudden need to go wc.

Avatar n tn I started taking erythromycin yesterday for tonsillitis. I have taken 3 doses so far. In the past I have had mild allergic reactions to antibiotics....such as amoxicillin and bactrum where I have broken out in hives. Its been almost 24 hours since I started taking the medicine....should I still be worried about an allergic reaction? Would any reaction have occurred already? I have had a headache and slight nausea, is that normal? Any info would be helpful so I can put my mind at ease.
Avatar f tn Hi all im waiting for my doctors appointment but wanted a bit of reassurance whilst im waiting. I have smoked quite a few years but not heavy. My mum passed away 6 weeks ago and prior to that she was in hospital 5 weeks. She was poorly and so her everyday and i was very stressed with worry. During the 5 weeks she was in hospital and 6 weeks she as been past i did smoke quite heavy. I quit 2 weeks ago and its the best thing i have done.
Avatar m tn Therefore I can assure you that your sore throat cannot be related with HIV. Streptococcal tonsillitis does not always respond to amoxicillin, but as you mention, it can also be glandular fever or infectious mononucleosis. You need to consult with your doctor; you might need a throat swab as well as a blood test. There doesn't seem to be any further issue other than a collection of vague symptoms which in your anxiety you have added up to be HIV related symptoms.
