Common Questions and Answers about Antibiotics virus cough
antibiotics
s already had it.) tried 5 days of 500 mg antibiotics when bronchial cough developed. cough is gone....other symtoms the same. (Extremely fatigued, weak and nauseous with low grade fever of 100-101.) CT scan, chest x-ray and all blood work is fine, showing no abnormalities. (which I'm SO grateful for!) She wants very much to be healthy again and it's taking a toll on her emotionally....we're desperate for answers so any guidance will be welcomed.
Please make sure the doctors find out what is causing her cough and that she is on the right antibiotics. Sometimes one builds up a resistance and needs to change the antibiotics.
As to the hepatitis C, it does take a while to get the test back. I had to wait for 4 weeks, before getting the results the first time. Having antibodies does not mean she actually has the virus. I would suggest to test the whole family. Sometimes a mother can pass the virus to her children through birth.
ve had fatigue/tiredness, slightly swollen nodes in my neck and a cough since about 4-6 weeks post exposure. Also my daughter has had a persistent cough for about the same time (for 2 months). I don't have access to reliable medical facilities so hoping to get further information on tests I should do.
Does NSU typically take a few weeks for symptoms go away in men?
I was told by my doctor. ( I had this dry cough too) that she thought it was chronic sinusitis. She put me on Z-pak antibiotics and gave me codiene cough meds. This took care of my nightime cough. You may want to see an ENT?
That went away but a month later I got a bad cough and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I took antibiotics and my cough got better but it is not completely gone. My tongue has a thin white coating as well.
My husband has been coughing for at least three-four months and its getting worst everyday. He went to a doctor a month into the coughing and was "diagnosed" with broncitus. Two months later he's still coughing even more. He does cough up phelm, but its no blood in it (yet)! He's never smoked, never drank, 46 years old, he works "graveyard shift" at a place producing product labels. What could it be?
Hm. Well, first---- antibiotics don't work on the flu as that is a virus. People often get secondary infections post flu though.
Anyway, rust colored phlegm could be the result of old blood down in the lungs if you are coughing it up. Typically it is nothing to worry about but once in a blue moon it could be tuberculosis which requires medical attention. Doubtful that you have TB but you could check with your doctor to be on the safe side.
s what it is) will usually take care of itself....However, cough medications (From the Vet) and sometimes antibiotics will make it much easier on the dog as it can last for weeks......I wouldn't wait! The cough at night is awful!!!!
Let us know what you find out...Thanks for adopting!!!!!!!!

At the shelter they told me to watch for kennel cough. She is sneezing and coughing. Today I noticed a runny eye, and she seems unactive (especially for a kitten). I can not take her to the vet or back to the spca. I adopted her at a shelter that is 4 hours away. I went to the feed store to get amoxicilyn, but the said u can not get it in ca.
Okay, so first. In general, if you had a virus, antibiotics are not required. We get over viruses with no intervention like that on our own. And overuse of antibiotics can cause issues with things like resistance. And stopping and starting antibiotics prematurely also contributes to resistance. It gives the pathogens time to learn how to outsmart the antibiotic which leads to those things called super bugs. That's just an FYI.
Antibiotics won't screw up your labs. They do not affect the thyroid levels at all, however if you are very ill the thyroid levels may be off slightly as your immune system tries to heal itself. They won't be dramatically off though. If you are having anti-bodies done (and you should!) these may be slightly elevated if you are fighting a bad virus.
I know you say the endo appt is tomorrow but ideally it should be tested when you feel better. If you can't wait then so be it.
It may just be a virus. Antibiotics don't work on viruses. How long has she had this? Does she have a dry cough and are there any night sweats.
I had strep throat about 4 weeks ago. After taking antibiotics, I was okay. Immediately after I came down with a cold of some sort, My throat was constantly dry, and now I always have this sticky phlegm at the back of my throat? What could this be? Post nasal drip?
Hi, welcome to the forum, your symptoms are suggestive of acute bronchitis and cough. The probable pathogens are Influenza virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Bordetella pertussis.
Other possibilities of neck mass are Reactive viral lymphadenopathy, Bacterial lymphadenopathy or Noninfectious inflammatory disorders like sarcoidosis, Kawaski's disease which is connective tissue disorder which can be a part of your former disorders.
When in reality, a virus is a time thing where you just have to wait to get better. A cough can linger for two months once the airways have been irritated! It is what it is. The sad thing is that many doctors have been pressured to overuse antibiotics so now we have fewer choices when we really need one since drug resistance has developed.
I have just been through something similar as you. I was getting a little crazy by day 13 and 14.
Is she coughing anything up (a productive or moist cough)? Is she wheezing with the cough? Flu season is upon us. Any viral illness can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia. Depending on your geographical location my other concern would be tuberculosis. When a person develops active TB disease, the symptoms (such as cough, fever, night sweats, or weight loss) may be mild for many months. This can lead to delays in seeking care, and results in transmission of the bacteria to others.
The flu is a virus and should NEVER be treated with antibiotics. Viruses do not respond to antibiotics. Unfortunately many doctors have overprescribed antibiotics and this has caused antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, otherwise known as superbugs. It is not uncommon to experience severe body aches and weakness with the viral flu. In fact, this is the common indicator that you have a virus and not a bacterial infection. Make sure to take lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.
