Common Questions and Answers about Can i take omnicef for strep throat

omnicef

Avatar n tn SHe has white spots the size of an eraser on each side of her throat and her throat is almost swollen closed. I took her back today and they gave her clindomycein and prednisone which she had last year for mono. He honestly said "I don't know what to do with you?" and walked out? SHe can't eat and she can't swallow and white spots are getting worse. WHat do I do next? Obviously not go back to the same pediatrician.
Avatar f tn The fever would come down with Motrin and Tylenol but as soon as it would wear off, the fever would return. I took her to her pediatrician that same day where they did a strep test which came back negative, prescribed omnicef and sent us home. The next day her temperature just kept skyrocketing, getting up to 106. That night I took her to the ER at Children's in Dallas where they ran another strep test, mono, flu, and cbc. Her mono, strep, and flu all came back negative.
Avatar f tn Try sudafed. It's safe during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn m not a doctor, btw), I can tell you that I never tested positive for mono via the monospot test when I had it, and I was tested 3 times (initially, after a month, then after a couple more months). I had high EBV tests, but never the monospot. The symptoms your daughter has sound like mono/EBV, but they seem rather intense for someone her age.
Avatar f tn In March, I noticed that my feet and hands were itching. I wondered if I had athletes foot so I used Lotramin and that went away. Then I noticed a few days that I had a welt that itched on my neck. I was really stressed out at this time and just figured it was stress. Later at the beginning of April, I went to the tanning bed and afterwards got a hive like rash on my back that lasted for about an hour and went away.
Avatar f tn i saw a doctor and was diagnosed with sinusitis/ bronchitis, with a negative strep culture from the oropharynx. was placed on omnicef. I returned to the doctor with worsening of the arthralgia and fatigue. I have a slightly elevated ESR and CRP. My ANA is still pending. What am i possibly looking at?
Avatar n tn Well she had a barely red throat and the PA decided to check for strep which was positive. Never having dealt with strep I assumed the smell was from the bacteria of strep. The Amoxicillan they gave her did not work so we went back for Omnicef and after 2 doses of meds the smell was gone. Two weeks after meds the smell came back... back to the Dr. no strep... no answers.... Ive tried everything from no juice to flossing with no luck. Is this an indication of a bigger problem?

Avatar f tn Toddlers tend to put their hands in their mouths alot ( and my son ***** his thumb when he is sleepy).I wash his hands often but he still gets these throat infections. Except for a period when he went about 4 months without any problem, he gets the infections about every three to four weeks or so. On occasion, if his throat is only a little red, he will get over it on his own. But more often that not, his throat is very infected and ulcers develop so that he needs an antibiotic.
Avatar n tn and she was diagnosed with Strep Throat (She normally gets strep at least 3 times/winter).She was given omnicef for an antibiotic (she is allergic to Zithromax) About a week and a half later she was diagnosed with Pnemonia, and given anther omnicef perscription. One week later the pnemonia was getting worse, and she was hopsitalized for 2 days with IV antibiotics. We left with an additional 5 days of omnicef. Through out this time, she continues to run fevers any where from 99.5-105.
Avatar n tn Thanks for your response. I have an appointment with an ENT at the end of the month. At his last ped appt they did mention tubes. I am hoping that tubes won't be nessecary and that the shots will help but I think that he will end up with tubes. He has just not been himself. I thought the shot would be like a wonder drug and he would start being himself again right away. He has been a little better but his appetite still is not normal and he is just plain cranky.
Avatar n tn t say it CURES it. I have never tried it when I knew I had strep, I just take it when I feel like I am getting it again. It might be a good thing to just take the Doc's advice if you have strep very bad. It can become a very serious condition and if it is very advanced it can cause heart problems. Sorry, Hope this helped a little.
799959 tn?1239293294 ibuprofen wont do much for a sore throat, if you take a tylenol or something with acetomenophen it is an anti-inflammatory and will bring the swelling down off your throat...try gargling salt water and drip honey down the back of your throat...and if you dont feel better in one or two days...
Avatar f tn 2 weeks ago I had BV. Took vaginal antibiotics for that. That gave me a yeast infection, I'm taking Conesten for that, and now I come to find out I may have strep throat, i was given antibiotics for that. I'm not sure I want to take them. I feel like I've been pumping my self with meds, I dont want my baby so exposed to all these chemicals. Im thinking of just living with the strep, heal naturally, what would you do?
Avatar f tn Well, like I said it could be the chronic sore throat cause by Fusobacterium as In my post. Some strep that cause strep throat can be resistant to Azithromycin. It depends on if they did a culture and antibiotic sensitivity test or threw an antibiotic at you. Which is what doctors tend to do. Most streps are still sensitive to penicillin though, but some strains have become resistant or not as sensitive anymore.
Avatar n tn Some girl I met told me she had strep throat and that it was causing her blisters on her mouth.... I didn't know strep throat did that and was thinking she coulda been lying and it was something else like herpes. I haven't found anything online to talk about strep throat and blisters... anyone know?
Avatar n tn Went back to regular Cadiologist- and Nurse was suppose to print of Drugs that I COULD NOT TAKE. I Need Help Because I need to Take something for pain and call my PCP- He's not up to date. Where can I get a list? Thanks Please ASAP!- Bev!
Avatar n tn About 1 year ago I as given Omnicef for a bacterial infection. After 3 days of tumultuous diarrhea, I finally stopped this drug but not soon enough. Ever since then, I have had stomach problems. It first started out as irregular and often BM’s, and then progressed to A constant gnawing or burning between my breastbone and navel in addition to erratic BM’s and gas, bloating, and just an overall lousy feeling within the digestive system.
1672333 tn?1416694918 i took the whole ten days and a couple days after i finished my meds my throat started to hurt again so a week later i went back in and still tested positive for strep throat. she gave me zpack to take. a couple days after i finished the zpack, my sore throat came back.. it feels itchy once in awhile and it also feels wierd when i swallow.the back of my tongue seems like it hurts too.. i still have white things on my tonsils and noticed that by my tonsil towards my throat i have a darker spot.
Avatar f tn -- Biaxin (clartihromycin) and Omnicef (cefdinir) for Lyme. However, I have seen references in various places online to Flagyl being used against babesia. If you search "babesiosis flagyl" you'll find what I did. Take care!
Avatar f tn Since last night I've been taking Tylenol for a very sore throat. Since I woke up today I was taking two every 6 hours as the label said, and I was supposed to take my third dose of the day (last one before I go to bed) about half an hour ago, but I can't remember whether I took it or not. Is it safe for me to take two now just in case I didn't? I'm worried about hurting my body but I also know if it turns out I didn't take them I won't be able to sleep...
Avatar n tn Hi, I know this is a strange question but 2 days ago I gave my boyfriend oral and we had unprotected sex for the first time. He is very thick and we had sex for so long that I was raw and bleeding around my opening. The next morning my throat was on fire and I couldn't swallow without crying so I went to the Dr.'s and found out that I have strep throat. My boyfriend calls me and he's freaking out cause he has bumps on his penis and thinks I gave him herpes or something.
Avatar m tn I have had discharge and slight burning when I urinate for several weeks. I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
