Avatar n tn My boyfriend was prescribed 1 gram of Augmentin twice daily for 3 weeks for acute bacterial prostatitis. He hasn't actually received his urine test results yet though, so not sure what type of bacteria it actually is. Is this an appropriate treatment?
Avatar n tn Yes the Haemophilus parainfluenzea was found in a genital swab. however i was just wondering why the doctor gave me augmentin for treatment. Yes I did get a therapeutic massage to improve the muscle aches the stiff neck. Should i take another STD and HIV test after 3 and 6 months? Thanks again.
1076693 tn?1255785661 I have of course been to a urologist and he took a swab and urine sample both came back negative for infection/ Chlamydia but prescribed Zocin - Azithromycin, 1 Gram single to be safe. This didn't have any particular effect so he prescribed a dose of Zithromax - Azithromycin, 1 Gram single Dose. In the mean time I had a High ligation varicocele lectomy on the 11th Oct and in post op was prescribed Augmentin - Amoxycillin + Clavulanate Potassium, 1 Tab three times a day for 3 days.

Pain is gone. im on bed rest. But when i talk feel pain little bit. Due to long use of antibiotics and NASAIDs im facing severe constipation and annal fissure.
Avatar m tn so I took my STD test but before I got the result I panicked thinking of gonorrhea or syphilis and took Augmentin for 3 days. Now the tests are all negative but considering the window period for some STD, should I finish taking Augmentin as a precaution to get rid of the possible infection? Thank you.

Avatar n tn My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection). When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic.
Avatar f tn i went to the the doctors and tested negative on a rapid strep test for strep throat. i also tested negative for mono through a blood test. they gave a culture to a lab for a more thorough strep test, that has not come back yet. to treat my throat they gave me augmentin (amoxicilin and clavulanate). so far i have taken one pill and i will take another in 12 hours. on my left tonsil, half of the inflamed tonsil is covered by a flap of skin.
Avatar f tn I can't believe that I found this forum. Like everyone else (it seems), my doctors know nothing about this condition and are unsure how to treat it. I've been suffering for two months and in that time I've had a mammogram, ultrasound, core biopsy, 6 rounds of antibiotics, and two abscesses drained and packed. I am very tired of this (though I know most people have suffered longer - I'm just not very patient).
Avatar f tn Borrelia is neither gram negative nor gram positive, but in the past, it was mistakenly thought to be gram negaive. Some old publications out there still call it gram negative (incorrectly). Here is a good biological description. http://textbookofbacteriology.net/Lyme.html Bartonella has been known to cause skin lesions. Have you been tested at IGeneX for it? You might want to get tested for both b.henselae and b.quintana (I don't know who offers tests b.quintana.
Avatar f tn she did two more swabs one for strep and the other was just called a genetial culture. she put me on Augmentin for ten days then start a yeast cream after 3 days and a diflucan pill also ..we will see what this does..

Avatar n tn I had a gram stain test today after feeling some discomfort in my Urethra and after some discharge It came back negative for the gram stain but I was told to come back in tow weeks for my final results for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea for NAAT tests. How often do gram stains miss infections. Could the gram stain miss NGU? Thanks very much for your time and attention.
Avatar n tn They placed a rod in the tibia and did nothing with the fibula. Now I have a staph infection. I was put on augmentin and now the doctor says the results of the culture will not be accurate. Is there any way I can find out for sure if the infection is in the bone or has contaminated the rod? My doctor wants to do surgery to replace the rod.
Avatar f tn Gram-negative simply meens that the bacteria did not stain with negative dye, negative bacteria is harder to kill with antibiotics than positive. Don't worry it is a good thing. I am a nurse.
