a heart rate of 140 indicates anxiety or something else ?
I agree with Vance2335, you should consult your doctor on this question. Your concern is reasonable. Biaxin is an antibiotic use to threat bacterial infections. And, yes syphilis is a bacterial infection. However, whether the medicine will affect Syphilis test result will depend on the medicine, when the medicine was taken.
You should check with your doctor or alternatively, you can post your question to the STDs Expert Forum, which runs by Dr. Handsfield and Dr. Hook.
Hi, antibiotics, such as amoxicillin for 2 weeks, have been the recommended first-line treatment of uncomplicated acute sinusitis. Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) is also an appropriate first-line treatment of uncomplicated acute sinusitis. Other options include cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin) and cefuroxime (Ceftin). In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin.
I still have raised blood pressure today , I guess the prednisone also raises the blood pressure. Do you thinj it is a good idea to
take both items, or should I only take the prednisone.
I had skin testing last week and had no increased allergies, I think I have frontal sinus inflammation and congestion .
m on biaxin, but not sure how much it ordinarly costs since my insurance pays most of it.
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???? Im scared and don't want to call and find out because he might think I'm nuts, or say no. But does this happen?
So the direct answer is yes, this could possibly be what you have. But it is very unlikely. By far the most likely explanation is a virus or other infection.
Clarithromycin (Biaxin®) is not reliable against gonorrhea, although the fairly large dose you were given might be effective. If you promptly discuss your gonorrhea concern with the doctor's office -- i.e. before you have taken the antibiotic more than a day or two -- a culture test could be done.
But that being said, a resting heart rate of 90 is considered to be within the normal range and anxiety can definitely drive it up. Try to stop checking your pulse, that can make mine go up for sure. I did the same thing after taking an antihistamine and got all upset and mine went up to 120. As soon as I forced myself to relax and quit checking it slowly went back to normal.
May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
i experience a lot of upper body aches especially in shoulders and under and around arms also many headdaches and tightness in head along with frequent bowel movements and nausea.and last but not least , my pallets taste like the medication and no matter how much water i drink " it doesn't seem to go away making my desire to eat , non-exesitant..i actually have to force myself to eat .
Does this sound like a chancre? Do I need to be concerned about syphilis given the antibiotics I have taken and the very low risk nature of the potential exposure?
I have a question about antibiotics. Since 2001, I have what I thought was an allergy to Cipro. Took it for an upper respitory infection for 3 days and had terrible problems. The Dr then gave me Levaquin, took for 7 days, with the same side effects. Just this past winter, I had a UTI that wouldn't go away and was treated with Biaxin and another abx (I can't remember which one, I have to look...maybe Ceftin) and had a bad reaction to both of them.
The infections you would be most likely to get from receipt of oral sex are either gonorrhea or non-chlamydial NGU (chlamydia is very rare in the throat). Biaxin has not been well studied for STDs but is related to azithromycin and likely would cure both chlamydia (which is unlikely to be there) and NGU. It's activity against gonorrhea is questionable.
As for the amoxicillin, it would not do much.
Yes, that's the main reason. And it isn't just that cunnilingus is low risk. My reply is also based on your symptoms, which simply are not possibly due to any STD. Plus the fact that the antibiotics would have cured anything even if I were wrong about the low risk.
Here is another MedHelp thread that explains the biology of STD/HIV transmission.
