Avatar f tn If this hospital and these docs just want to keep throwing antibiotics at her, and have not drained the abscess or the abdominal bacteria, and have not disinfected the abdominal cavity, that WILL NOT DO. She must, instead, be taken on an emergency basis to a larger hospital ER, even if you have to travel, so that sepsis can be avoided.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics can have many side effects, can't say if these are normal side effects or a result of something else.
Avatar n tn If this amoxicillin or ciproflaxin is human medication, do not give this to your cat as this is made for human consumption not for cats. Take your cat to a vet to be properly diagnosed and treated. Under no circumstances should you ever use human prescription meds on a cat.
Avatar f tn Hi, 1. I've got secondary syphilis rash and I've been prescribed Doxycycline twice a day 100mg for 14 days. After two days most of the rash healed but today is the 7th day I take Doxycycline (I take them very strict every 12 hours) and I have one white patch on the tongue and one a little few maybe spots on the neck. Is Doxycycline not working on me? Should I be worried? I can't take penicillin. 2.
414333 tn?1226191493 I'm almost positive it's safe, Nate, but your doc wouldn't (hopefully) have given you one if it wasn't! I'm going to assume this is the same one who is working on your w/d with you? But if you are second guessing him because you don't trust him, call a pharmacist and ask them. And as soon as you hang up, find another doctor! Let us know, OK? Hang in there, bud!
Avatar n tn Did you test positive for gonorrhea? I don't know much about the treatment for gonorrhea, so I will not comment on that (however, I think that one day is too soon for the infection to clear up completely - a few days to a week is probably more realistic). I did want to say that you did not 'throw your life away.' Receiving oral sex is generally low risk for STDs (not no risk) and if treated, gonorrhea will not cause you any future problems.
Avatar f tn No not yet i have an app in a couple of days
Avatar f tn You should also know that guidelines do not call for antibiotics to treat ear infections unless they are very severe and persistent -- they go away on their own, as do sinus infections, and because of the tremendous overuse of antibiotics it is not recommended they be used for this disease, again, unless it's quite severe.
Avatar f tn t have the answer. But I was wondering how long do you have to stay on the antibiotics? I have a 10 course of taking two pills a day. I think I have had the UTI for a couple of months but didn't know it. I was wondering why I have to be on antibiotics for so long.

4451049 tn?1387153437 With a CDC positive Lyme result and not much effect with oral antibiotics, I cannot help but wonder how people are getting their IV antibiotics paid for. Perhaps I am just poorer than most but uhh, is there some type of insurance that would pay for what I need?? My insurance will cover a months worth of IV antibiotics but that is all. And will not even pay for IM injections at all. It would be interesting to see how I respond. But in all reality, that's just a tease!
