Avatar f tn I have a kidney infection and in on keflex anti biotic. If they prescribed anti biotic its BC its important, kidney infection can cause pre term labor and it was complicating my pregnancy. I'm 21 weeks out of my first trimester though, if u were really worried u can call you're dr and ask about the risks.
Avatar n tn I just read your question about the possible allergic reaction to Keflex. I had previously taken Keflex for mononucleosis at the age of 18 and and other things during my early 20's and never had a problem. A few years later when i was 28 I took it again. I had a terrible reaction. I had very large raised hives that started on the tops of my thighs, inside my arms and up my neck. My eyes were swollen and breathing became a task. I double dosed benendryl and went to ER.
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 My bf was diagnosed with ngu and I want to know is taking one of the following ok for treatment .....bactrim ,keflex, or amoxicillin? The reason for this question is he won't be able to make it to the doctors for the z pack this week but he has these antibiotics available. And if so what would his dosage length of treatment be ?
974371 tn?1424653129 Told my ENT doc about it and he put me on Keflex. Went to another dentist for cosmetic consult. He said it was infected and I needed treatment. Anyway, had a root canal yesterday. No swelling but still pretty sore today, like it has been. Doctor put me on 7 days of Clindamycin, 150 mg 3x a day, which is a pain to have to take every 6 hours. Read about side effects but none so far. I am wondering why the Keflex didn't help Has anyone taken this med before ?

Avatar m tn Erythromycin, Tetracycline,penicillin ,amoxicillin , introveinous ancef, keflex, etc. I suffer from itchy anus, eyes, flaky scalp, tingling / itch in right foot and my wife seems to always have a yeast infection. Over the course of my life, I have had sex (mostly protected) with 30 or so women. I am educated, middle class, and have never used a prostitute. All of my girlfriends have also been white/ middle class. Can someone help me connect the dots?
Avatar n tn I been having a toothache & I think I already have an infection because now the pain has gone too my ear. Whats thee best and safest antibiotics to take ? My dentist had prescribed me amoxicillin but when I called my doctor the nurse said that it was too strong for me too take.
640719 tn?1277140030 I'm getting a bit scared lately... I have been battling a recent UTI. I used to get them a lot when I was younger but haven't had one in about 2- 3 years. Anyway, took levaquin 500mg for about a week and felt much better then 4 days later it hit again. Did the AZO testing which tested positive for nitrate so went back on Levaquin and after two days of taking it I wasn't getting much relief so I went to my doctor.
Avatar f tn Okay i started taking my pills lastweek along wit my prenatal pills but the only thing about it is my prenatal pills stay down and my keflex pills always coming up i dont take them together i actually take my uti pills and the morning and my prenatal pills at nite...
Avatar f tn In the middle of July I took my son to urgent care for a huge red area on his neck. The doctor could see a bite mark, said it was either a tick or spider bite. She ordered amoxicillin for a week which cleared it right up and he was fine for about a month. At the end of August he started with vague complaints, headache abdominal pain achy muscles. Then he started with a swollen lymph node in his groin severe abdominal pain and high fevers.
Avatar f tn I am an English women living in India. I had urine test and indicated few bacteria present so got antibiotic amoxicillin and doxicillin. The symptoms cleared quickly (although not 100%). However the day after I stopped taking the antibiotic they came back.I was in a rural area at the time and couldnt get correct test so a doctor gave me ampillin and cloxicllin to tide me over. Again some but not full relief.
Avatar m tn They say that they don't have the proper tools to drain abscesses, that they can make the infection worse. For the third time in a month, the abscess is back! I can't believe it! I did a round of Keflex, a 6 day round of amoxicillin, and this last time, a 6 day round of clindamycin (not sure if I spelled that right but I'm sure you know what I mean).
Avatar f tn I AM AWAITING A REPLACEMENT FOR MY FAULTY KEYBOARD WHICH WILL ONLY PRODUCE UPPER CASE LETTERS. MY APOLOGIES FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE POOR NETIQUETTE. I MAY BE OLD, ENGLISH AND LONG RETIRED AS A DENTAL SURGEON (B.D.S. FROM ONE OF THE TOP UK MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES) BUT I CAN SEE NO LOGICAL REASON WHY A SIMPLE SINGLE LARGE DOSE OF PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTIC (USUALLY AMOXICILLIN FAMILY) IF THE PATIENT CANNOT GIVE A FULL PREVIOUS MEDICAL HISTORY.
Avatar n tn Ok about a week ago I had a sinus infection. For two days i took some Keflex twice a day that I had left over. It wasnt helping , I found a bottle of cipro I had left over and I took one. Thats it. A few days ago my boyfriend starts having symptoms of chlamydia or gonnerea ureathra hurting, discharge etc. I have no symptoms. We have only slept together once in the last couple weeks. Anyways, I went and got tested and I have bacterial vaginosis. I have not been with anybody but him.
Avatar f tn Went to the doctor and he tested me for strept and mono and tests came back negative. Well he put me on keflex (250mg twice a day for 10 days) totaling 5000mg course. My concern is that I got syphilis has well as hsv2 that same encounter but the keflex cured my syphilis but I gave it to my girlfriend before I was cured. Will that low of a dose keflex cure syphilis? I also had a full test 1 1/2 months post keflex and everything was fine except hsv2.
Avatar f tn It is starting to really bother me and almost at times makes me sick on my stomach from smelling this all day. He put me on Keflex and I must return in 9 days for a re-check. Does this really sound like a sinus infection or something more serious?
Avatar f tn t know that it is), how would you know the strength of the mixture when it is configured for a human vs. a cat, and how would you know the dose the cat needs, and how would you even know if the cat needs that medicine and not something else? See if you can get the cat to a vet or a humane association for a checkup.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm still being treated with antibiotics for a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. I'm just wondering if there are others out there who experience a large amount of tingling and numbness in hands, feet, face, scalp and sometimes even my tongue. I don't have any pain in my joints, it all seems to be neurological. I also have a lot of pressure in my head and dizziness/lightheadedness. It's as though I can't move my head fast or I'll have an "off" feeling.
Avatar m tn ve been having chills and just feeling blah, my main questions are is Keflex a good second choice antibiotic to clear up epididymitis i have an apointment with a urologist to basically ask the same questions and further investigation and my second question would be should i go ahead and take the keflex or wait for the urologists opinion since the doc that prescribed keflex was a general practicioner and not a specialist, your input would be much appreciated.
Avatar f tn We went to see sm ENT after a round of amoxicillin gave no relief. She has a swollen tonsil on the right side that the ENT said was hard. She said the rest of the exam appeared normal but biopsied the hard spot, cutting a large chunk of tonsil out. It has been 6 days since the biopsy and we get results tomorrow. The PA for the ENT said maybe a tonsil stone, maybe tonsil cancer. She said she saw no signs of infection. When biopsied, we could see a large white spot.
Avatar f tn I took.antibiotic for cellulitious infection in my leg. Allergic to penicillin so they gave me keflex. I don't think it worked but the Dr was certain that it wouldn't hurt my little one.
Avatar f tn keflex should take care of it. (http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn Hi, i started my a dose of Keflex last week, and a couple of days into it, my penis started to really itch, on the underside of the head of the penis, and now also seems red and puffy. I did have unprotected sex about a week before i started the medication, and was wondering if it could be side effects to the Keflex, Or if i have caught a STD?
Avatar n tn I started feeling very dizzy after taking 500 mg Keflex four times a day for six days to treat a skin infection. I developed the low grade fever on the seventh day. I haven't felt as dizzy since I've been off the Keflex but the fever still makes me slightly tired. Is this something I should be worried about?
