Every women carries it in their body but sometimes it's there and other times it's not, when you "have it" its inactive but they give you antibiotics during labor and delivery to prevent it from being passed onto your newborn and becoming "active" which can be a simple illness or it can be extremely dangerous.

1551642 tn?1294351934 Hello all, I don't have a question at the moment, though I'm sure my mind will be filled with them once I log off. I just found this group last night and spent an hour reading many of the posts. I'm grieved to hear about how deeply this has affected some of your lives, but thankful to know that I'm not alone. My diagnosis isn't totally "official" yet, but I feel pretty certain that I have IGM.
Avatar n tn A few days later, the 2nd thumb went through the same thing, and now the fingers have all started to follow suit, one or 2 at a time, as well as his 2 big toes. Further details are that his nails seem a bit "dirty" underneath (slightly yellow or green under the distal end of the nail, but not under the nail bed itself.) There is also a small hard yellow "dot" at the site of the red swollen part, that is strongly attached to the skin but that can be pried loose.

Avatar f tn I am allergic to so many antibiotics. I now have a serious sinus infection and my doctor cannot find an antibiotic to treat the infection that does not cause either hives or diarrhea. I need help. Below are the antibiotics that I cannot take but can I take??? penicillen, minocin, keflex,erthromicin levaguin ceftin, cepro,omnicef So what is left? Please help me.
Avatar f tn wondered if u also get yeast infections...antibiotics can cause a flare up of a yeast infection...so do ask for DIFLUCAN to help prevent that issue altogether. Speaking with a Pharmacist may be the best help in knowing what meds would be best for u with the H.Pylori...it can be resistant to antibiotics...and can require a second round. Then, the antibiotics can kill off all teh good bacteria u need, so ask ur dr about taking a probiotic afterward.
