Avatar n tn Actually it sounds more like you have an upper respiratory infection going on.
Avatar m tn ) and can therefore be very confident that neither chlamydia, gonorrhea, nor any other traditional STD from those exposures is the cause of your upper respiratory infection and conjunctivitis. The vast majority of such infections result from garden-variety respiratory viruses. FYI, the most common true STD that causes conjunctivitis is chlamydia. Gonorrhea can do so, but rarely; and non-chlamydial NGU generally does not do so.
Avatar n tn Infections usually start out as upper respiratory infections, such as from a cold and then travel down into your lungs (lower respiratory infection). Other times it's from getting the flu and a secondary infection sets in, such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis. Other times you could get acute bronchitis from being exposed to a lot of irritants in the air (such as wood dust, heavy pollution etc).
1901977 tn?1333991726 I was trying to tough it out but my upper respiratory infection has moved down into my chest and with my asthma, the doctor is really worried about it turning into pneumonia and just put me on the "Z-Pack" (Azithromycin)antibiotics. I'm in my 12th week right now, and really worried about taking them. But the doctor says if my breathing goes bad or I get pneumonia that's much worse for the baby...so I just took my first dose tonight.
Avatar m tn The second time was last Sunday. I was taking Azithromycin for my upper respiratory tract infection at that time( from last Thursday, 500mg per day). The Azithromycin was finished this Tuesday. But I felt some tingling in my urethritis, kind of hot in it sometimes since the morning of Friday. The symptom get more obvious later on till now. Some times, I feel kind of pain in the urethritis, totally durable and not heavy.
Avatar m tn 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. All negative with the exception of HSV1. MRI revealed I had herniated discs c2-5 in cervical spine. Put on inflammatory and pain killers. Took blood panel test at 10 months.
Avatar n tn If you have been prescribed with this antibiotic by your doctor, it is likely that you were prescribed this medication because the doctor was of the opinion that you have a chest infection or a upper respiratory tract infection, or both. Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness. If your cough is because of the bacterial infection, then the antibiotic will kill the bacteria, even though you may still be left with a residual cough.
Avatar f tn Anyone ever had an upper respiratory infection during their pregnancy? If so, did it affect your baby in any way?
2041076 tn?1329881359 I am uncertain about what this statement means but assume the symptoms to be those of a cold or another type of upper respiratory infection. Such symptoms may be caused by persistent or recurrent infection but, in many instances are caused by repeated exposure to, 1) an allergic substance or, 2) to an irritant; that is, they can be caused by something present in your environment.
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, you are suffering from respiratory tract infection involving bronchus and there can be possibility of involvement or spread to upper respiratory tract including throat and nose. Bacterial infection is one of the common causes. This infection is complicated by acute bronchitis which is accompanied by productive cough. In such case, empirical therapy with broad spectrum antibiotics should be given.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor last wednesday and he diagnosed me with an upper respiratory infection caused by allergies. The main symptom I went there for was this brain fog, I have it bad and still have it bad to this day. The doctor said that would cause it, but i just want to know if it is true and will it be cured by the antibiodics he gave me please help.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn You can test for gonorrhea and NGU (which is an infection in the urethra caused by anything except gonorrhea) at 5 days. Azithromycin usually cures NGU, but NGU can be caused by things like adenovirus (causes upper respiratory infections), so it may just need time to run it's course. The current recommended treatment for gonorrhea is a shot that you'll need to get from a doctor. There is a lot of resistance to other medications, like cefixime.
Avatar n tn One question I wonder about is whether your partner had a second test positive for chlamydia or the health care provider who diagnosed her upper genital tract infection simply made a diagnosis of upper genital tract infection and ascribed it to chlamydia because she mentioned she had it earlier and was treated. I would urge you/her to find out if she had a test positive for chlamydia or if the current diagnosis is based simply on the clinical findings.

Avatar m tn Bingo. I'm not aware that azithromycin has been reported to trigger FDE, but almost any drug can do it from time to time, so this seems a good bet. FDEs typically behave much like a burn -- a red/sore patch that can easily be eroded by friction, leaving an open, weeping sore. If that describes what you have, you should call or visit the doctor or clinic who prescribed azithro, and/or see a dermatologist.
Avatar m tn But here is my question. I ended up with a respiratory infection and the Doc gave me Clarithromycin, I have to take 2X 500mg a day for ten days. I started the medication the day of the sexual encounter. Will Clarithromycin help clear up any of the STD's that I might have caught during the act? There is not too much info on Clarithromycin and STD's out there. I know one thing it is sure working on my respiratory infection big time. Thanks for your responses!
Avatar m tn Just treat the upper respiratory infection? Will my general practice doctor be able to treat an eye issue? Thank You.
