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 Is an excruciating headache a sign of a reaction to clindamycin? I can't take it anymore, and my CT scan came back clean. I'm on the antibiotic as a preventative measure after sinus surgery (I'm about a week out). There's no infection, and all the drainage, etc. is normal.
Avatar f tn On Feb 12th I went to my dentist to get impressions made for my partials to be made. While I was there he prescribed pennicillin for a tooth infection. He said if this did not work, he wanted to prescribe Clindymiacin. I explained to him that I had tried that in the past and it made me extremely ill. He said that yes, it could cause some cramping and loose stools, but I would just have to put up with it to get rid of the infection.
Avatar f tn p.s. I apologize if there's an edit feature I don't know about ... but I also just wanted to add that the oral surgeon did say that at least 2 of the bacteria were resistant to clindamycin ... so it would have to be a combo of that and something else if we were going to try it again.
Avatar f tn Friday night out of nowhere I just got attacked with sickness. I thought it was just a cold, but now I can tell it's a sinus infection. I've been taking what cold medicine I know is safe hoping it would help a little, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Anyone know of anything I can do to get some relief? I haven't slept well at all the last two nights and I need some rest.
Avatar m tn My concern is, because the infection returned is this infection resistant to Clindamycin. If so, how can I get to the bottom of this with conflicting opinions ? I certainly fear loosing more teeth but my major concern is my artificial joint. It would be a nightmare if that should become contaminated by any future dental procedures.
Avatar f tn what do i have do i need a stronger antibiotic i just want to feel good pls what can i do well was kind of too desperate that i went and got a shot called dripospan for allergies but no difference
Avatar n tn has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects. HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
Avatar f tn s not much you can take. I had a bad cold around 22 weeks and I took hot showers, drank tons of water and orange juice, ate some cough drops, and rested. We're limited on medications we can take so if it's the flu and you have a fever, call your doc.
Avatar n tn i believe sudafed. i think that is wat my doctor prescribed for me the last time. u need to check wid ur OB first though.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Vicodin and Clindamycin. I forgot to take the Climdamycin for the first two days, but picked it up immediately on day three. By the end of day three I found myself in EXCRUCIATING pain that 2 Vicodins couldn't ease and my face was still very swollen even after taking Clindamycin. I was so sick to my stomach due to the Clindamycin that I called my doctor to ask for something else less upsetting on day four. He prescribed Keflex instead.
Avatar f tn The Dr. said I had sinus. I told her about Hip. C and that i had been teated and I was not not wanting to take any more meds . She gave me cefdinir 300 mg. Sure hope it works .
Avatar f tn I took Tylenol sinus ... My doctor told me it was ok, but check with your doctor first.
Avatar f tn I've taken Clindamycin and fluconazole to kill a yeast infection. But now my doctor tells me I might possibly get it back because antibiotics can cause yeast infections. I'm not even sure...
Avatar n tn Hi, stuffy head, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat are the symptoms of common cold due to infection or allergic rhinitis. Some viruses causing infection are rhinovirus, influenza, adenovirus, echovirus etc. Infection is transmitted through inhaling droplets and touching infected areas. Sinusitis has symptoms like feeling pressure on forehead, sinus drainage, fatigue, poor sense to smell and taste, bad breath, sore throat, ear pain etc.
Avatar m tn sorry. typo in original post. meant to read "I have noticed that the side of my nose where my deviated septum had been seems to still be significantly inflamed and that the generalized area around where the maxillary sinus would be hurts as well.
Avatar n tn there is no irritation, no redness no flakiness, no itchy rash rashes it simply bald area, smooth, i touch it i can feel little white hair. the day i shave i can see very light red rash i m not sure if it happen because i shave.
Avatar n tn On 1/17/06 I had a RCT done on tooth #10, as well as an incision in the roof of my mouth behind that tooth to help extract the infection. On 1/19/06, I had a RCT done on tooth #20, with one 0.05mm post placed. I have been on Antibiotics since 1/13/06, taking Penicillin VK 500mg QID, so I'm now on my Eighth day of antibiotics. I am sore, but not badly, and not bad enough to warrant pain meds, however, I am running a fever around 100, which was not present over the past few days.
Avatar f tn The reason that the other poster could have been cured by cipro is that she may have had a Mycoplasma and it may have been sensitive to ciprofloxacin. But the standard treatment for bv is either metronidazole or Clindamycin. So you can try the cipro and see if it clears up but if it doesn't then if can take clindamycin I would then take probiotics after. Cipro can treat a lot of UTI's but not all. It depends on the bacteria that is causing the infection and how resistant it is.
Avatar f tn So I woke up this morning with a cold. And I have a headache due to my nose being plugged up. What is okay for me to take. I went to the doc to make sure I it's just the cold. And Yup it's just the cold. He didn't tell me what I could take tho. And I forgot to ask.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed a ten day course of clindamycin for a gum infection, which it took care of. Six weeks later I developed severe diarrhea with terrible gut pain and fever. Had blood and mucous in stools an perhaps some intestinal lining. I lost 10 lbs and was very weak and the thought of food made me feel sick.. Emergency room diagnosed clostridium difficile after stool samples and CAT scan. I was put on a 14 day, 4x/day course of oral solution vancomycin which solved the problem.
Avatar f tn So this is my first pregnancy and I'm very early in , about 6 weeks . I haven't been to a Dr yet due to fact my health insurance is still being reviewed . However I have bad allergies and stopped my meds once I found out I was pregnant and now I'm developing a very bad sinus infection. Is there anything I can take ? I've been reading a lot about this and it seems there isn't . Some say Tylenol sinus is ok but others say no . Any help would be great .
Avatar m tn this will be for five days...I will.see how this works......I took Z pack meds for a bad cold...it started to get better after the dose was finished. I am hoping and praying that this works. The vet said it is a much stronger antibiotic then clindamycin. I am sorry about the spelling of this med...wish me luck...
