Taking Tylenol/Advil around the clock for discomfort. Put on Azithromycin and Zovirax (in case there were any cankers behind tonsil that he couldn't see). Also had routine blood drawn for upcoming physical. Got results yesterday. Wbc 14.3 and Abs Neuts 12.18. The remaining CBC was completely normal. Throat/ear is still very sore at times and still red. Finished antibiotic yesterday Possibly slightly improved.
On Friday, June 11th, I was diagnosed with otitis media (middle ear infection) and placed on Augmentin and pain reliving drops. I am still experiencing pain as if someone is stabbing me in the ear, it is keeping me awake, and my ear is completely blocked with what feels like fluid. I stil feel awful and cannot get comfortable at all.
Should I return to the doctor? My ear is hurting me a lot and I am having pain into my kneck and terrible headaches.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
This study concluded that azithromycin 1g single dose was quite effective in curing gonorrhea.
"This paper describes the efficacy of azithromycin 1g single dose in the management of uncomplicated gonorrhoea either with or without chlamydial co-infection. Three hundred and one patients were treated for gonorrhoea between January 2000 and June 2001; 226/301 (75.1%) were treated with azithromycin 1g stat dose while the rest were treated with different regimens. Ninety-seven of 301 (32.
I am an American living and working in China. I have been going through my medicine bag and I found some meds that I don't know why I have them. I have found 4 which the descriptions sound strange to me. Azithromycin, Roxithromycin, moroxydine hydrochloride and Ribavirin. Most of the description I get from the web are that these are for various STD's. but I don't have any STD's. I have had a medical check for my visa to verify this in March of this year.

Please note, if you are taking any meds (other than the antibiotics), or under the care of a physician (other than for the ear infection), PLEASE be sure and talk to your doctor before trying anything, even over the counter meds - to make sure that they would not interfere either with your medical condition/s or your current meds.
I have a sore throat, ear pressure, and swollen lymph nodes. One lymph node in the bottom of my neck is about 1cm large, not sensitive at all. Went to Urgent Care and they said ear infection and they put me on Zpack, however that doesn't seem to be working.
I have had a sore throat with drainage and bilateral ear pain for over a month. Dr's diagnosis: Double ear and sinus infection.I also had an intermittent cough which has not been present for a couple of days. I am allergic to PCN and Sulfa, true allergy with welps all over. I completed my first Z-pack (Azithromycin 250 mg qd, 6tabs) 5 days ago. Still sick. Dr has prescribed another Zpack.
m taking metronidazole 500mg for the BV for 7 days. I took the azithromycin on the evening of the 16th. I have to mention that today the discharge is almost nonexistant, whereas before it was obscene. My partner lives in another state, as soon as I received my results I told him to seek treatment.
I have another question. I missed my period which is very, very unusual. Could a missed period be due to the gonorrhea infection? My period is always early or right on time.
If you have an infection vaginally, it can throw the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria, which can cause BV or yeast.
Azithromycin doesn't cure BV, so you'll need to talk to your doctor about it, and get a different medication.
Get checked though - don't try to treat yourself. You could have a yeast infection from the azithromycin - it's common to get a yeast infection from antibiotics - and that treatment is different than BV treatment.
Five days of doxycycline would probably have cured the infection and 1.5g of azithromycin of 50% more azithromycin than is required for chlamydial therapy. Wither way you would be cured.
1) Would 5 days of doxycycline and on day 6 the 1.5 g zithromax cure chlamydia if present?
Yes
2) I used zithromax back in july for an ear infections. Would this build up resistance against chlamydia due to overuse of zithromax?
Probably not.
I hope these comments are helpful. Enjoy your holiday.
Hi, around 4 days ago I got sore throat following by a few mouth ucler (2 on the tongue). Then after 2 days (yesterday morning) my upper lip went a bit numb and really dry. Today the numbness is gone but still extremely dry no matter what I do. So in the afternoon I went to the doctor, and he told me I have an infection, didn't say anything else and prescribe me with "Azithromycin Monohydrate Tables". The problem is now my left eyes is completely red and a bit itchy.
The doses of azithromycin studies for treatment of chlamydia, NGU, and gonorrhea have been studied when the medication is taken as single doses. Thus, questions about doses taken at lower doses and on different schedules is difficult to answer and require estimation of their effectiveness as opposed to answers based firmly on scientific studies.
It is possible for your infection to be resistant to azithromycin, the typical treatment for NGU. The Augmentin will have no effect on chlamdia, which is what I think your doctor suspects you have. Go back into the doctor. He/she will most likely do a culture and sensitivity to identify the infectious organism as well as determine what antibiotic or combination of antibiotics will work best.
Would this still be effective in treating a gonorrhea infection if one was present? I have recently read about Azithromycin resistance in gonococal bacteria.
Thank you Doctor.
