Avatar n tn Thank you for your reply. I have an appointment on Tuesday with an opthamologist but someone mentioned to me that it may be MRSA, since he's on the second antibiotic and it doesn't seem to be working. He had an ear infection about 5 weeks ago now and was given antibiotics for that. That is around the same time that he developed the styes. Do you think it's possible for it to be MRSA? Should I be seeing a doctor sooner than Tuesday? I appreaciate your advice.
Avatar f tn I have had a strange pain in my left arm and leg for about a week now. I originally went to the Dr.'s last week due to an ear ache in my left ear. I was given Apo-Cefprozil - two days later my leg felt weird ( by the achilles tendant) -I shrugged this off as I have recently began running a lot. The next day my toes were tingling and the pain was also in my arm ( feels like carpal tunnel). My first thought was that my medication was too strong (500 mg twice a day).
Avatar n tn It is not a UTI, herpes or and STD just had my physical 6 weeks ago. It has been painfull off and on for 6 months. The first Dr. prescribed cefprozil. It didn't do anything. The second Dr. gave me an antifungal with anti-iflammatory cream. It helps slightly but everything is still extremely swollen. I am worried it might be something more serious? I have no discharge. Could it be a yeast infection, can they cause severe pain and swelling?
Avatar m tn I posted this originally in the HIV forum and was told it was No risk for HIV so I would like to see if the STD risk is likely. I recently performed cunnilingus on a female whose health is unknown to me. A few days later I began to feel ill with sore throat, head ache, stomach ache. Is it possible that I was infected with an STD? If so, is there one that would be more common via oral sex? From what I have read it seems that gonorrhea (of the throat) is a possibility? what do you think?
Avatar n tn Over the last five days I have developed a rash that runs from my eyelids to my lower cheeks, and appears again on my chin. On the first day I noticed itchiness I also noticed a small patch of dry skin. As the rash has become worse, my upper lip is now covered in crustrations, some of which are honey coloured. The rash has died down in itchiness but is swollen especially over my eyes. I have been to over five doctors now and am waiting to see a dermatologist..
Avatar f tn My dog was just diagnosed by our vet with atopic dermatitis as she has scabs on her ears and around one eye (scrape for mites was negative). She got an injection of vetlog and ampicillin and prescribed oral clavamox and chloropheniramine. I also bought her a soft E collar to keep her from scratching. A week later she is worse! Her ears are now weeping and very sore (she yelps to touch) and today she can't even shake her head or walk (I think from loss of balance).
Avatar n tn Nutrition Smart, and asked them what I could do for my dogs ear infection. I think my dog has allergies and his ears hurt...but his ears are fairly clean all of the time. There was a lady customer who heard me asking the clerk about ear infections. So in lieu of hearing me,, she said I use Oregano oil for my ear infections...so she explained how to use it. Let me say that this works! Take a coffee mug.. mix 50% / 50% of oregano oil and olive oil.
Avatar m tn Ive had an ear infection for 4 weeks now. 3 Weeks ago I went to the doctors and she wouldn't give me anything for it. Been really painful this weekend and felt sick and a bit dizzy because of it. What should I do? How long can I expect to have it with not taking anything for it?
416656 tn?1202829314 I BROUGHT HER TO THE VET AND HE NOTICE SHE HAD A HOLE IN HER RIGHT EAR DRUM. HE DRAINED THE INFECTION OUT OF HER EAR AND PUT MED IN HER EAR, AND MEDS FOR ME TAKE HOME TO GIVE HER BY MOUTH.

Has anyone seen this symptom in their child with an ear infection?? He has no other symptoms... I hate to make a trip to the doctor for nothing, exposing him to worse things like h1n1, not to mention that i can't really afford to take off work..... Any experience or advice? Is he too young to have an ear infection?

Avatar f tn Once back home I went to my doctor and he diagnosed an inner ear infection causing the dizziness and it would go away in time. However eleven months down the line it is still there. On a daily basis I feel lightheaded. This can vary from feeling slightly lightheaded and able to carry on with life to feeling dizzy and completely housebound. I have to be very careful not to over do things or it makes my condition worse (e.g I need a lie down after the hoovering).
Avatar f tn Has anyone used medicated ear drops for an ear infection? Im in my second trimester.
Avatar n tn So my question is,since my child has been pulling at both ears for 6 months,does this mean my child has had an ear infection for 6 months,and what type of damage could it cause or have caused?And since my child has been pulling at both ears for so long,is this actually an ear infection?One more question..How common are ear infections actually,because our doctor made it sound like it was almost impossible for babies to get ear infections.
2095738 tn?1339825243 I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and have had a double ear infection for over 2 weeks. I had them several times last year starting this time of year and always needed the super strength prescription with steroids. Because I'm pregnant, my doc is afraid to prescribe anything other than amoxicillin, but my ears have gotten so much worse. Has anyone been able to take anything different?

Avatar f tn I believe you just go in and they give you anti biotics safe for pregnancy.
8216878 tn?1403882912 Ok so desperately asking for any suggestions or ideas. My ear is killing me last fri I noticed it hurtthe past few days its been aweful. I went to my dr ans she gave me antibiotics yesterday. And told me to use swimmers ear to dry it up. She said its bc im swelling so bad that fluid is retaining in my ear. I have used the drops ive tried heating pad and ive been taking the antibiotics. Im not trying to be impatient im jus hurting and miserable.
Avatar n tn For two years I have had itchy, dry, crusty inner ear problems. It itches very bad and is just inside the inner canal. White crusty flakes come out into my ear. The doctor gave me ear drops, but it seems to just make it drier. My wife has been putting monistat cream in there with a Q-tip which makes it feel better. Do you know what medication I can use to permanently get rid of this? We live in a very low humidity area and it is very dry here.
Avatar n tn Basset Hounds are notorious for ear infections, many of which are due to the anatomy of their ear and to skin allergies. Human ears are very different from dog ears. Dogs do have many different kinds of highly purulent infections of the ears, all with different treatment protocols. So the additional test is warranted. The fine needle aspirate is a good screening tool, but it is just the initial step in the diagnostic process.
Avatar n tn I had a blocked ear last week. i asked my gp about it and he said he can see wax. so he gave me softner. but after 2 days my ear started to hurt ALOT. i went to the gp again and he sent me to see an ENT specialist. i didn't get to see one but i saw a doctor who said my ear canal is inflamed so he gave me antibiotics. I took them for 5 days and the pain got worse, and my jawline under the infected ear is swollen and it's hurting right underneath my ear in my neck etc.
Avatar f tn I have had an ear infection for nearly a week now. I'm very tired as the pain in my ear is so bad i can't sleep at all. I've been to the doctor twice in one week and she put me on antibiotics and ear drops even a cream but they don't help. Even painkillers don't help with the pain. If anyone has any tips on getting to sleep i would be very grateful. It's really getting me down.
8216878 tn?1403882912 Heat to the ear...or u can take tylenol. U can also cut up a onion and put it on ur ear .. cut in (half).
5615074 tn?1378316840 The only thing my doctor said to take for sore throat is Tylenol Extra Strength. But should I go in to see if what I have is another ear infection?
