Avatar m tn However I believe I have contracted some sort of bacteria or virus. Symptoms include. Cold for weeks, sweats, headaches, nausea, anxiousness, itchy skin as if u feel like something is crawling on the inside of ur skin all over. I also have diarreah, swollen throat which causes vomiting and stomach pains occasionally.
Avatar f tn t cause a false positive for the herpes culture. the herpes culture relies on active virus being grown in the lab, no virus present, no herpes will grow out. unfortunately no the blood test results don't help with determining how long you've been infected. If your igg is +, you can try to pursue a herpes avidity test which will tell you if you've been infected within the last 4 months or not but obviously that needs done sooner rather than later.
Avatar f tn There are antibiotics such as Flagyl which can penetrate the biofilms (slimy areas the bacteria create to shield themselves from the action of the body's immune system). Then other meds are used to kill the revealed Lyme bacteria. It worked for me quite well and for others I know.
Avatar f tn They checked me out put me on bedrest and gave me antibiotics. Well it has been 6days and my hoo-ha still feels itchy and swollen much like a UTI (but I'm not experiencing the burning sensation when I pee). I'm just curious as to if i should be concerned and if i should be what should I do? Thanks in advance!
Avatar f tn If u have an bacteria infection in you cant take pills while pregnant what should you do or what can happen?
Avatar f tn If I did get a bacteria infection from the sexual encounter would the antibiotics get rid of the infection since I had 7 more days to go using the antibiotics..?
Avatar f tn If you have a UTI, that is a bacterial overgrowth in your urethra/bladder. Sometimes after treating a UTI with antibiotics, it can sometimes overkill the good bacteria and then cause a Yeast infection, and thus later warrant a need for Monistat. But you said you are not yet on antibiotics at all (not sold over the counter in the USA). The Monistat won't help cure a UTI, at all, if that was your intention of using it until you can see a doc about your UTI.
1138687 tn?1548643978 Thanks guys! That makes sense, as I have learned in my search that Mono was produced to cause less GI/Stomach issues. I also read that Mono makes it to the small colon before breaking down, which would explain the double coating and decreased stomach issues. If all of this is true then it would harmonize with my experience, as Mono was MUCH more tolerable.
Avatar f tn I taken antibiotics in the past and took me 1 full year to recover from stomach issues and side effects. I don't plan to suffer like that again.
Avatar m tn These are both used by the body against viruses. White blood cells also attack bacteria. The Corona virus also attacks certain cell types. There is a lot we don't know and other "stuff" we have learned. Young people can die of this as well. It is not know why.
Avatar f tn Depends on the bacteria, normal vaginal flora will not harm the baby during delivery. If you have a STD or other type on infection those can sometimes be transmitted to baby during birth.
Avatar f tn If it is indeed ulcers, then she has h.pylori, which is a bacteria, not a virus. There is a combination of antibiotics that is effective at treating it. In the States, they sell it in a package called a PrevPac.
Avatar f tn just called and said its Diverticulia(sp) and also said Bacteria in my stomach and thats what is causing the bloating and stay on Prevacid for a month.Can you tell me how you felt symptoms and how long will it take for my stomach to go down to normal.He also said to eat alot of fiber,veggies and fruit.Then if it does help to take Benefiber does this really work? I'm hoping someone can explain the Dx's alittle more because you know how fast the Drs.
1137980 tn?1281285446 MVP we all still have to have mega doses of antibiotics w. any heart issues because the first place the bacteria runs to is the weak area of our bodies and those w. MVP that would be one of the first places it goes to. So he loaded me up with a mega dose and when i go next Wed. to get (another!) root canal i definately have to pre medicate X4 an hour before the root canal and an hour after because he said once they open up the area the bacteria is going to flush thru my system.
Avatar f tn Antibiotics does not treat Herpes because Herpes is not a bacteria it is a virus. Whatever you have is some sort of bacteria. NOT herpes. This is my opinion of course, but this is the direction I would go.
Avatar m tn I just had an endoscopy becuase i was suffering from severe nausea and dizzyness and they found Helicobacter pylori bacteria in my stomach. A few doctors have said that this could be reponsible for nausea others are saying probably not. what are the symptoms of Helicobacter pylori bacteria? could this be responsible for my nausea? is there any chance it could cause dizzyness?
Avatar m tn The antibiotics will not do anything to protect you. If you are receiving oral sex there is a chance of contracting HSV-1 he or she has it.
