Avatar n tn Just precautionary I just started Azithromycin on my own, going to take it for 2-4 days, 500mg 1 dose daily ..... and to make matter worse, the original problem of burning penis stayed, from this afternoon - anal burning has also started.it's all bearable but strong enough to make it's occurrence felt ...... having some irritable bowl movements as well ... The penile tip is a little tender, but no pain yet.
Avatar n tn 1. how long does it take for azithromycin to work if it was a false negative. 2. Why do I feel temporary relief only. 3. And most importantly what else could I have or be testing for. I am depressed and anxious....and would appreciate your advise on my next steps. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Azithromycin can be used to treat BV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Syphilis, Urethritis, amongst other things. I would call the dr back and ask what exactly is the reason U need to take it. Let them know Ur concerned but want specifics. The nurse may just call U back instead of the dr, as long as U get an answer. I wouldn't want to take anything without knowing why it was prescribed.
Avatar m tn I again went to doctor who gave me azithromycin for five days (twice a day, one tablet) Some improvement but still some burning sensation and slight pain in testicles. Went to doctor again who said that I have chlamydia which sometimes is not cured with azithromycin. Now taking doxycycline for 7 seven days. After two days still get intermittent burning in scrotum and rectum, and a bit of pain in testicles.
Avatar f tn 2 days after exposure and the results were also negative (for all mentioned including hep B) I went to the doctor for a urine sample to test for an NGU or UTI. Their initial dip stick result is negative. They will however send my urine same to the lab for a full result. The reason I have done so much testing is because I am worried about spreading something to a partner I am seeing. Yes I know I messed up.
Avatar n tn The VDRL only tests for syphilis. I think you need to make sure that you were tested for other infections. If you were, and they were all negative, then you need to look for another cause. You might ask your doc to look at the discharge under a microscope and see if there is any bacteria present, and also have a prostate exam done.
Avatar f tn They prescribed Nystatin. I used it for two weeks with no improvement. I went to my PCP, showed him my original test results. He looked at me and confirmed the yeast infection and told me to continue with the Nystatin. He ordered all different types of tests +STD tests again except for Clamidia or gonarrhea. He said I did not have any symptoms so no need and the previous tests were negative. All second tests came back negative but hsv1.
Avatar n tn current recommendations are you get the shot of ceftriaxone and oral azithromycin at the same time if you test + for gonorrhea. the 2 gm dose of azithromycin alone is only helpful for chlamydia at this point, not gonorrhea. if you were given just oral treatment for gonorrhea, you are supposed to retest any time after 1 week post treatment to see if it was effective or not. why does it fail?
Avatar n tn Unfortunately from a bad reaction I had to a medicine years ago, I have a phobia of tablets, so I crushed the azithromycin, mixed it with water, waited for it to dissolve (about 2 hours), and drank it (very foul bitter taste). After 3 weeks, my chlamydia is back, exactly the same stomach cramps, and discharge (I'm female). I'm on holiday in Africa, went to see a doctor, and he said he has no doxycycline, which he should give me.
Avatar f tn Everything has cleared up except for my testicles feel heavy and sensitive. I suspect it is epididymitis. What could be the cause of this? I have no other symptoms.
Avatar f tn In certain situations your physician may decide that antibiotic therapy is appropriate. When an antibiotic is deemed necessary, Zithromax (azithromycin) is commonly used. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is effective against M pneumonia. But, if the sinusitis is caused by a fungus or virus azithromycin will not help. In some cases, sinusitis can last for several weeks before it resolves.
Avatar f tn When you can't sleep from the withdrawals, I've been told that Trazadone is a good choice for sleep because it isn't a controlled substance, etc. What is the story with this medication?
Avatar n tn azithromycin is used to treat chlamydia for the most part when it comes to std's. we also use it for a few other std related conditions too. overall the risk of a std from oral sex is very low. we don't recommend testing unless you develop symptoms. ngu and herpes are your most common risks from oral sex. we recommend protected oral sex because it's about as close to safe sex as it gets :) It also saves you worrying and testing too!
Avatar m tn I never had any discharge but the second doctor examined me and said that I actually had some kind of discharge which was not pus, but something that only appeared after he bent the penis backwards. How long can it take for a chlamydia infection to disappear and do I need to be tested for that after having taken all these antibiotics?
Avatar n tn It MIGHT cure it, but chances are, it won't. Several strains of gonorrhea are now pretty much resistant to many medications, including azithromycin. The CDC ONLY recommends treatment with Rocephin (ceftriaxone) or a few other selected medications. Azithromycin is not on the list.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected sex 6 wks ago and now i start experiancing buring and itching sensation along my urether after urination. I went to the STD Clinic 5 days ago and my result come back negative for Gonnorrea, Syphillis,and Clamydia. we took 1 g Azithromycin and Amoxacillin after the clinic, and now now its not one of the three. I still have the symptom and my girlfrind start telling me she is feeling pelvic pain upon urination. I am so worried about this and can't think of what it is.
513903 tn?1211348752 but now in all honesty....I will come forward and report that it was me. My thinking now is that it is virus...but what type? Or is it possibly a different type of bacteria not treatable with Rocephin and Azithromycin? I feel so low right now. My luck, I have HIV from a stupid act on my part.
Avatar m tn Additionally, I read that among antibiotics Rifampin has the strongest action against chlamydia. However, it is not used in monotherapy, because of the rapidity with which bacteria develop resistance to it. I would also be interested in combination therapy, because my gut flora is already out of balance and Rifampin has been shown to prevent adverse GI effects of other antibiotics.
