Common Questions and Answers about Avelox and skin infections

avelox

Avatar n tn s an antibiotic and therefore would treat bacterial (not viral) infections, and Lyme is indeed a bacterial infection. Symptoms vary from person to person and over time in the same person, so whether you have/had Lyme only a doc could say, and the docs are in disarray on accurate diagnosis and treatment of Lyme.
Avatar m tn Avelox and Omnicef are usually for for respiratory infections, and might cure ngu or chlamydia, but probably not gonorrhea. Have you been seen for your discharge and burning?
1373852 tn?1307843048 side effects are you talking about? Avelox is a great antibiotic for resp. infections. I have taken it many times and I am a nurse. It is expensive though. Do you smoke? If so, the phlegm is probably building b/c your cilia cannot clear your airway any longer.
Avatar m tn I cut my 4th toe with a powewasher (ouch) 3-4 days ago and i was given a 3 day course of avelox and antiobiotic creme to put on my cut toe. It is currently senstive to the touch, but not extremely painful. In addition, it does not feel warm. Is the redness surrounding the cut normal, or do i need to go back to the doctor?
Avatar f tn Hi, I was being treated for an ear infection by a nurse pract and she thought the I had wax build up . She placed me on Avelox. Still blocked and in incredible pain onto ear antibiotics drops w/steroroids. These were just sitting in my ear. I went to an ENT he removed pus said I had a horrible infection did not know how I was up and about. He put me on a different antibiotic/steriod concetrate drops. 4 days later I could not hear at all.
Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Took Cipro and the sinus pain was not improved so that was follwed by a course of Avelox where I ended up in the ER by day 7 on it [couldn't walk on my own needed IV fluids]. Off it for a week now and still really tired, various nerve pain, joint pain, muscle fatigue...seems to cycle, weak and dizzy, some blurred vision but it's all better than it had been just seems it should be gone since the meds are out of my system.
Avatar n tn I had pneumonia after contracting the flu in July. Was treated with Avelox and, when symptoms came back, Azithromycin. I still have a cough, which seems, at times, to improve and then recur. The cough is not severe, though there is a sensation of irritation, of needing to expel something in my chest, left side. I have wheezing upon forceful exhalation. A chest x-ray on 7/19/09 showed "Prominent interstitial markings left midlung anteriorly.
Avatar m tn I have a deviated septum that doesnt help and should be repaired...the avelox and levaquin are like poison to me know and still feel their side effects weeks and weeks later after stopping it...
Avatar n tn t abated, provider considered trich, and mycoplasm as possible culprits). I was also put on avelox 400 mg for 10 days as well. Currently I have 6 days remaining on the doxycycline and 9 days remaining on the avelox. I have not engaged in any sexual activity whatsoever since my diagnosis however I still have a very mild clear mucus discharge primarily in the morning; the penile itching and dysuria has abated.
Avatar n tn Certain infections, like tuberculosis, bacterial infections, abscesses and osteomyelitis can cause night sweats. AIDS and HIV can also produce night sweats. Some cancers, like lymphoma, hormone disorders like carcinoid syndrome and hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) and some neurologic conditions like strokes, autonomic neuropathy, and post-traumatic syringomyelia can also cause night sweats.
Avatar m tn Probably the large majority of M gen infections never cause symptoms, and for sure most infections are never diagnosed or treated, and clear up on their own. I cannot imagine it is worth the time and expense to travel internationally to get some new drug for it. And while moxifloxacin resistance may be common in some parts of Australia, it appears to be effective in most geographic areas.
Avatar m tn After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
Avatar m tn my armpits ache and previously went to the doctor for this and he said they looked fine and didnt feel anything abnormal...am I to attribute this to the sinus infection...still feeling maliase and run down but the headaches and running nose are gone but still spit up yellow pghlem.I am very anxious and have some hypochondria.I have had ecurring sinus infections since this past Sept. I am a 44 year old male and the only other thing I take is valium 5 mg ...
Avatar m tn If the tendonitis is due to Avelox then yes, it can be treated as usual. The pain and inflammation will subside once the medication leaves the body completely. This may take a week. This is treated with NSAIDs, rest and orthotics or specially designed foot wear to ease the pressure off the tendon. Take care!
Avatar f tn I have been frequently prescribed antibiotics (no penicilin or sulfa as I have been allergic since a child) over the past two years for having several bouts of sinus infections, throat infections and bronchitis symptoms. Suddenly, since April I started developing strange symptoms while taking any antibiotic. The antibiotics I've taken since April are Avelox, Zithromax, Clindamycin and Biaxin (all of which I haven taken previously over the years w/ no problems).
Avatar m tn I think as I have gotten older its has gotten worse and might now need that new ballon procedure for the sinus...avelox and levaquin are like poison to me after being on them for so many weeks,,,anxiety,fatigue...insomnia...restlessness stomach upset...elevated heart rate...floroquines are bad...I still feel effects weeks after stopping them...I hope thats all it is...thanks Doctor...
Avatar f tn Is it me or the Medicine? My doctor thinks its just me and ignores it. Some Medications are fine for me Just a upset stomach thats all....some makes me have a ful blown panic attack. I never in my life had a panic attack until I taken the antibiotic Bactrim made me have one thought i was dieing. Avelox did the same but I controled it until it went away. I am 22 and in good health.
Avatar m tn Then a couple weeks later, another round of Doxy, then Metrondinazole and azythromicin. I was then in port, got a digital rectal exam, (very painful) and was prescribed Avelox. I took it for 35 days, and things were well, more or less. Back in port, went to resupply on avelox, they didnt have it, doc put me on cipro/trinidazole combo. Now a week later and the pain is back in my urethra. Could this be episodes of Herpetic urethritis?
Avatar n tn I talked to her yesterday and she said to start the Avelox antibiotic which I did yesterday. I now have 2 doses in me. I also started Zyrtec yesterday per the allergist recommendation.

Avatar n tn I sometimes feel now like a needle is just barely touching the skin, and that sensation also exists now on the inside of thigh from time to time. I could not see any visible manifestations of this anywhere, however (and still don't). My MD thought I might have Chlamydia and on March 6, he prescribed two 500 mg tabs of Azithromycin. I took them but the itching and hair pulling sensations persisted. On March 17, he prescribed Avelox 400 mg to taken 1x/day for five days.
Avatar f tn I had to take antibotics twice also. Very bad upper respiratiory infections. Levaquin and Avelox. It will not effect your chances at SVR and there are always all kinds of warnings about liver precautions on the medication guides but my hep doc said they were fine.
Avatar n tn I was given a needle at the hospital when I went into labour with my daughter I reacted to the needle all around the injection site thought it was an allergy but it recurs OFTEN and is believed but not confirmed to be a herpes infection in the skin. Its on my back so its not near fingers, mouth, or genitals....is it still considered to be an std?
Avatar m tn i went to the dr and i was proscribed another medicine called avelox... I am freaking out and i can not sleep at all... do you know how long the drug will be in my body..? the side effects are pretty bad and i had nightmares when i fell asleep..
1695661 tn?1314920399 I'll leave it up to the medical doctors to determine the cause of these issues, since some infections may be bacterial, and others viral. However, I suppose it is possible that some of the behaviors that she may engage in could theoretically increase the odds of geting an infection in and around her mouth. For example, some young children with developmental disabilities engage in object mouthing--they frequently put objects in their mouth and manipulate them or chew on them (e.g.
Avatar n tn Staph infections are contagious and may spread through skin to skin contact. Avoid touching this as you may also cause its spread in other parts of your body. The skin condition should resolve in a week's time given the right medication is given. Was a culture of the discharge done?
