biaxin

Avatar m tn Also should add, treated with Cipro 500mg for 10 days and Biaxin 500mg for 21 days for sinus infection, during the time frame of possible std infection....would this cause a delay or would it actually cure the std infection, if there was one to begin with?
Avatar f tn The doctor took blood and did a throat culture, in case I had strep or mono. Neither was present. BUT he gave me a different antibiotic for the sinus infection called Biaxin, for acute sinusitis, which has been working wonders after one day on it. But I just read that Biaxin is given to HIV/AIDS patients for Mycobacterium avium complex!!!! Is it possible that he did an HIV test without my knowledge and is now trying to treat me for it????
Avatar m tn I have a bunch of symptoms that im afraid may indicate something serious. blotchy rash on my neck, chest palms and groin; loss of sensation and discoloration of my penis; cold sweats; constipation and difficulty urinating w no pain involved. I've had a sinus infection and ear infection for sometime now but just started taking biaxin yesterday. Not much improvement..could I have some kidney or liver issues due to years of cocaine abuse?
Avatar n tn I am 3 months pregnant and am prone to sinus infections and it seems the only antibiotic that works for me is biaxin. I have a sinus infection now, is it safe to take biaxin 2 pills together for ten days?
880656 tn?1240444916 He was on an antibotic 2 weeks ago for an ear infect and 4 days ago he was coughing so bad his dr ordered sinus x ray and he has a bad maxillary infection on both sides. He has been taking Biaxin for 4 days now and is running 102.2 fever tonight. He has bad reflux- we had a ph probe study done. his sinuses are formed weird. He had a methocoline challenge and failed at the first dose labeling him evere. He takes the highest dose of Symbicort (same that I do) I just needed to complain.
Avatar m tn Because my bronchitis had gone away only to develop into a sinus infection, I was prescribed Doxy 100mg / 2x / day for five days, which I took religiously according to instructions. Now, 2 weeks after appearing, the bump is still there. Foolishly I keep squeezing it; on the days when I don't it shrinks with a (closed, not ulcerous head). I'm going to leave it alone from now on, but here is my question finally: Does this sound like a chancre?
Avatar n tn I have two failed implants due to infection which did not respond to Clindamycin. I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Mild mucosal thickening at the inferior left maxillary sinus and minimal degree of mucosal thickening of the superomedial left maxillary sinus. There is a tiny focus within the anterior right sphenoid sinus and the posteromedial left frontal sinus. 3. Asymmetric enlargement of the inferior left nasal turbinate. There is a left concha bullosa. There is mild septal deviation towards the right. Where do we go from here to get some relief? She is in college and struggling.
Avatar m tn Regarding your second question, STIs often do clear themselves over time HOWEVER, before that happens, infected persons can transmit infection to others or have complications of infection. Thus when a person is treated, it is best to treat the infection rather than try to wait it out.
862235 tn?1336060295 Hello and hope you are doing well. Recurrent sore throat could be due to post nasal drip, which can cause a chronic irritation in the throat. This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It's unlikely to be due to cancer. So, don't worry, but when in doubt best to have it checked. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
1236313 tn?1295726268 If your doctor is prescribing antibiotics, and they are working a little but not a lot, then the doctor has diagnosed a sinus infection. The reason the antibiotics may not be working is that infected mucus becomes encapsulated and antibiotics won't penetrate it. The Mayo Clinic figured this out, and I found a way to remove the infected mucus.
Avatar n tn For the past week I have been taking an antibiotic called Biaxin (for a sinus infection) which I know can trigger yeast infections. I have had yeast infections before and some have been frightening and painful, but this feels a bit different.... There is no itchiness or discharge, but I have some redness and some concentrated red sores. There is also some pinching feeling on the skin. Does this sound like a herpes outbreak? Should I start taking my acyclovir?
Avatar f tn I was just on a 14 day course of Amoxicillin 750mg a day, for a sinus infection and was fine as far as any urine problems ... This morning i wake with the symptoms of a UTI and i have only been off the antibiotic for ONE day ... Is this a totally separate problem, and do i have to go back on the antibiotic? Please help!
Avatar m tn I just moved to Denver from Chicago. Right before we left, I could tell I had a sinus infection, as I have a long history of sinus issues. I also have stomach issues, history of a couple ulcers. A couple of ENT's have told me I have obvious signs of GERD, though I don't often have indigestion, sometimes I can taste acid in the morning. Anyway, I saw a doc when I arrived in Denver and she gave me Biaxin for the sinus infection. Only it doesn't seem to have cleared up.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you have a bacterial infection that is not being properly treated. I would ask the doctor for a different type of antibiotic like Biaxin or Bactrum. It might help if you saw a pulmonologist for an accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment. Another idea is that you are having allergy issues. If you identify your allergen and practice avoidance measures, that could take care of the problem as well.
Avatar n tn when I engaged in receiving oral sex from a female in Tampa,Fla. 3 days after the event I had a sinus infection and was prescribed 500mg er Clarithromycin for 7 days. While on that antibiotic I was bit by a a fire ant and the bite became infected so 100mg twice a day for 7 days. I was on antibiotic treatment for 17days straight.(doesn't it usually take longer than that for a lesion to occur for transmission?
Avatar n tn On that Tuesday, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Bronchitis and a sinus infection. WBC was 15000. I received a Rocephin and Decadron injection and was placed on Biaxin for 10days. I still have a low grade temp (not less than 99.4) and also have joint pain and night sweats. I went to my gynecologist for my yearly checkup and told him all this and he drew another CBC. He mentioned a systemic infection as well as possible lymphoma or leukemia.
Avatar m tn I was taking Biaxin 500mg twice a day for a week and then took the rpr two days later. could this affect the results in any way?
Avatar n tn Yeah, dig. Thanks, elltkeen. There's a possibility that you have a fungal infection, which is very common in seemingly incurable sinusitis, according to the Mayo Clinic. The lead doctor in the study, Dr. Jens Ponikau, patented the idea of a nasal anti-fungal spray, but he's still working on it.
721523 tn?1331581802 We discussed that I have had a sinus infection since August. He checked my IgG level. He also told me no less than 4 time to go to my ENT, NOW. I have an appointment with the ent tomorrow. The solumedrol allowd me to catch the virus that my baby had. Combine that with a sinus infection that has already survived 3 rounds of antibiotics and well I ended up in the Inturnests office. I wasx only able to see the NP that day. She gave me biaxin. I stayed sick, with green smelly junk.
Avatar f tn ve been taking the medicine for at least 10 or 11 days at 1000 milgrams of each both biaxin and flagyl daily..and should have stop taking them along time ago ..is this common?
Avatar n tn I recently went back to the doctor and i am on Biaxin, it cleared my sinus infection, but i have 1 day left on these pills, and my throat still has all the same problems. I was looking online and i have ALL the symptoms of Larynx Cancer, now im REALLY worried, does anyone have any advice about this, i get paranoia really badly. I have a allergy test of june 27 (i don't think that is the problem), and ultra sound tests on July 6 for my throat.
Avatar n tn I do not believe he penetrated me. However, I was recently sick with sinus drainage and a brief sore throat, which is now gone but I went through a course of antibiotics (biaxin xl). I am now abroad, in Paris, and I have a thick white/brown coating on parts of my tongue. I am concerned that this is thrush and it is from HIV.
776539 tn?1235582251 The CT showed a cronic sinus infection, so I was given Biaxin (generic). I had an allergic reaction to this with extreme dizziness and swelling of my neck along the left side. So I am now taking Flonase. This is in hopes of reducing the frequency of my migraines, if the sinus infection is knocked out. The eye doctor did not see anything in the CT to help explain my eye troubles, so I have an MRI scheduled on the 27th, to get a closer look at my eye muscles and nerves.
Avatar m tn He speculated that maybe i had a sinus infection and gave me a 10 day course of biaxin. Today was my last day on it. It did stop the drainage but the lumps are stil there bothering me. I must say, i went against your word and did an oraquick test 13.5 weeks out and it was negative. So that makes 6 negatives in 3 months. For what its worth, i believe you now. I have an ent appointment monday. Should i go through anymore tests or say no thanks.
