Augmentin for pharyngitis
Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin for pharyngitis
augmentin
The DR. Prescribed me augmentin and the pain subsided until the meds were gone. Four days later on Thanksgiving all of the symptoms returned. I went to the ER again to get a different diagnosis or pharyngitis. I was prescribed clindamycin and prednisone. This prescription is taking longer to subdue my symptoms though I have only been on it one day. I was never administered a sti screening and I was wondering if I should get one. But can I get a sti screening while on antibiotics?
I have had a sore throat now for about a week. The sore throat comes on about 8:00 p.m. It is very sore and makes it hard to swallow. It keeps me up most of the night. I finally get out of bed around 5 ish, drink a cup of hot coffee and within about an hour my sore throat is gone until around 8:00 at night again. Also in the morning then I am very hot and sweaty. Any suggestions.
So i got Lidocaine spray just to be able to swallow the meds and got oral rehydration solution to compensate for the lost saliva am spitting. I also added azithromycin 500mg ( am allergic to augmentin ) for 3 days to cover for any bacterial superinfection that might kick in later in this ugly course.
Today is the 5th day of this painful journey, i still have the same pain in my throat cant swallow anything without crying from the pain the hits from my pharynx all the way to both ears.
I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working.
I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18.
Thank you!!
t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.

It may be Augmentin or it may be something else. I think you should mention this to your doctor.
Welcome to the forum.
You had a low risk exposure. Oral sex is inherently low risk for all STDs and zero risk for some. Your HIV test results prove for sure that's not an issue. You don't say exactly what STD tests were done, but the negative results are reliable. However, if testing didn't include a throat swab for gonorrhea, that might be something to discuss with your doctor.
Although Augmentin kills certain types of bacteria and is used for lower respiratory, ear, urinary and sinus bacterial infections, does not necessarily mean it will get help a sore throat.
To find out what type of bacteria is causing the sore throat and which antibiotic will kill that bacteria is to get a swab taken of your throat to identify the bacteria and then the correct antibiotic will be prescribed.
4 days on augmentin 825 for a chronic dental infection (now a bone infection), I started having major swelling in my hands. This is new, I've never had swelling like this. Yesterday my one hand looked freakishly red and swollen. It was so swollen, that when I straightened out my hand (which was difficult), everything turned white, inbetween the redness.
Anyway, I tried going off the augmentin (I'm taking it in conjunction with clindamycin), and today I feel much less swollen.
There is a laser treatment for this granular pharyngitis in India . Doctor name is Dr Paulose .
If you have a viral tonsillitis, it will get better on its own in time (about the same time that was quoted for the Augmentin!). But you are also taking Augmentin. So, won't it be tempting to say that the Augmentin is what made you better? We'll never know.
It's not necessarily a bad idea, taking both -- especially if they are truly unsure and they're trying to get you better as fast as possible.
Oral sex is never a risk for HIV even if you had sore throat/pharyngitis. Enzymes in saliva break inactivate the virus as does air and that never changes so you had no risk from your exposure. The only way adults get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles. So, good news, no worries!

Hello,
If your wife has enlarged tonsils and it is painful for her to swallow, these are symptoms that are, in general, consistent with pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat). Infectious pharyngitis can either be bacterial or viral. Bacterial pharyngitis is usually accompanied by a fever and there are usually not other symptoms such as runny nose, cough (more consistent with viral infections).
