20797125 tn?1510364014 I was provided an oral azithromycin Z-Pack along with Azasite Azithromycin eye drops which definitely provided some much needed mercy on me and my poor eye. BUT I noticed, the redness was gone and most of the puss, BUT my eye was looking inflamed still, causing the eye to look more closed that the other. Not to mention throbbing sensations off and on.
Avatar f tn I was given More meds doxycycline and metronidazole. With no real improvement taking them for 2 days. But developed pink eye yesterday and now is in bothe eye. I have been reading something called the adenovirus and think that’s what I might be dealing with now. Not sure if they tested for that I will get my results for the urethra swab in two days. My test result was neg for gonnorhea and chlamydia.
Avatar f tn a week ago my left eye started to hurt out of nowhere later that day i notice that it was getting very red. i never had any type of eye problem before, my sister said it was just pink eye and that it was nothing but then my eye got extremely red and swollen around after 4 days when it look the even worst i when to my optometrist and the check my eyes and told me that i looked like an infection but that it was weird for it to only be in one eye.
Avatar m tn I know gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause pink eye, but I tested negative for both. I know adenovirus can cause both uti and pink eye, but I had no fever, no swollen preaurical lymph nodes, etc. The inguinal lymph node swelling is odd for an nsu or so I've read and there were no blisters or other symptoms of herpes (like flu-like symptoms). Also, there was almost no discharge the whole time. Is there anything my symptoms do fit? Would the azithromycin have taken so long to work?
Avatar f tn Thanks, Vance. What about the fact that my urethra is irritated? Now I also think I might have pink eye. My eye isn't really pink, but crusts up in morning with some goo. Maybe just a side affect of the antibiotics? Still paranoid. Also been on antibiotics for 1 week.
Avatar m tn Back in May 2007, I had protected sex with CSW. Next day, I had pink eye and one week later 2 canker sores on soft palate followed by swollen armpits. One month later I had thrush. Six week HIV test negative. Went to Dr. who said I have a upper respiratory infection. Three months later, swollen armpits became pneumonia. Took azithromycin, cleared my lungs & pneumonia, but upper body caught on fire. Developed small bumps on forearms. Got tested for Syphillis, Gono, Chlymadia, HSV 1 & 2.
Avatar f tn My son had high fever with rash on his hands arms, back and chest. We took him to the doctor and he diagnosed Scarlet fever. He priscribed Amoxicillin for 10 days. He started taking it and 3rd day his fever was gone, rash was gone. I sent him to day care for one day as I had to go to office and he came back with minor fever again. We thought his antibiotics is still not finished may be he will be fine. Next morning his legs badly hurt. Then I notice he was starting pink eye.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected oral from a sex worker, and about three weeks, later, got symptoms of burning, and a clear discharge etc, I was treated, before test results got back with doxy, 100x2 daily, and my GF was treated with 1 gram of Azithromycin in one treatment, in the last few hours, I have started to get symptoms of pink eye, I then treated it with vigamox x 3 daily, does this sound like a normal treatment, and result, my buring sensations have gone away, and my eye is slowly calming down.
Avatar f tn All was looking promising except over the weekend (started on day 8) my right eye started getting reddish (like pink eye but no inflamation). Yesterday and today the eye was less red but still pink. I also noticed I had discharge from my penis once again! Yesterday I started noticing slight discomfort on the right side of my groin. Its not painful and its not swollen. I did more research online and these symptoms point more towards gonorrhea.
Avatar f tn Ok so i was treated for Chlamydia [havent got results back yet] with the 4 pink pills called Azithromycin [one time dosage]. My symptoms were itchy penis and i had discharge coming from my penis. I was treated for Chlamydia and my symptoms pretty much went away i still have very mild discharge [only in the moring] its been almost a week since i was treated, is this normal? should it be complety gone already?

Avatar m tn Welcome to our Forum. I can understand how after being in the strip club you might be concerned that you somehow picked up an STD through contact with a dancer but it is most unlikely. Let me outline some of the reasons that I say this: 1. Chlamydia is simply not effectively transmitted from one person to another on contaminated fingers. If it were we would see genital infections as well as eye infections arising this way and we do not. 2.
1428481 tn?1340593131 We just got over a case of pink eye in my 2 year old. He had it for the first time under a year, and yes it is very common in infants and young children. As the others suggested, I would not use the medication until you have had a proper diagnosis. Although it certainly sounds like pink eye, other infections or issues are possible, and drops not intended for your child could do more harm then good. All the best.
Avatar m tn She said I had the bacterial type of pink eye and gave me a prescription for Tobramycin. I used it for seven days and had about 50% improvement, but the infectipon was still present. I went back yesterday and she put me on three days of prednisone --6 pill therapy and a new prescrition for Tobramycin for six more days. If this doesn't work--what are my options? I have read that Tobramycin can cause kidney damage. Are their other drugs to use?
Avatar f tn it is best to be seen by a doctor, but Simialson makes pink eye relief eye drops, I have pink eye a lot, and they work sometimes, sometimes they work just enough to give me a little relief until I can see the doctor....but with any kind of eye problems its best to see a doctor..I am a walking testimony..I kept getting what I thought was pinkeye, so I kept being treated for pinkeye.
Avatar f tn t tell that not looking at the eye. If you are no longer getting pus out of the eye and you have taken for at least 5 days you could consider stopping the drops and using warm compresses and preservative free artificial tears.
469349 tn?1217606941 I have been experiencing pink eye since Sunday, not the regular pink eye...there is no discharge from the eye, the left eye, where all the problem is, gets really pink and my vision gets cloudy, especially when my pain starts. Im schedule to have an angiogram this coming Wednesday, and Im hoping I can wait til there. If someone can let me know if this has to do with the fistula and what should I do, please comment.
539780 tn?1213943976 I had acute bronchidis, for the next two weeks I had walking pnemonia, then I had strep throat. Now Im much better, but I woke up this morning and my eye is pink, and kind of sore. Can it be Pink Eye? And if so.. what are some home remedies I can take since I really have no more money for another Doctors visit because of this past month?
1503643 tn?1311518238 I can say that years ago, I knew somebody who had pink eye. At the time I was making colloidal silver, which is antimicrobial. She asked for some to try, and she was cleared up quickly. I can't say I'm recommending that, I'm just relating the story. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.
Avatar n tn thats what I do everytime my eye flares up, well the eye liner, I just sharpen down, and I use new brushes for the eye shadow, just incase the bacteria got into the make up...to prevent further contamination.
Avatar n tn My son, 3, and daughter, 2 in April, both have what I think is Pink Eye. We have not seen our Ped., since its Sunday, but they did call in an eye drop. My question is, how long is the gestation period, just so I can warn who we've been around. Also, whats the best car for the eyes. Should I leave the gunk on the eyes (since it's a fighting battle) or wash it all off. Should I take Lysol to everything?
Avatar f tn So I received unprotected oral sex and protected sex about 9 days ago and I have no symptoms until this morning when I had woken up to pink eye. I didn't think anything of it and went to the doctor to get medication but after googling around I learned that pink eye is also a symptom of std's. So my question is how long after sexual contract would I contract pink eye of it is from an std? I have no other symptoms either. No discharge or pain when peeing.
Avatar f tn The next day, my eyes were almost the same except with added infections of drainage and unbelievable swelling to the extent that my eyesight was blurry and almost unbearable. I went to a physician and was prescribed some eye drops for pink eye but it has already been about four and a half days and I don't see or feel any improvement. I have also avoided any places with bright lights and haven't touched my TV, computer, or any electronics untill now.
Avatar f tn Hello Doctor my son is 2.7 years old and two months ago he had pink eye and I still have the ofloaxcin solution that doesn't expire until 08/13.

With my finals this week, I am worried that I may be kicked out of school because of my eyes and I may miss my finals.
