Avatar n tn No fever except for first day of infection. Congestion and pain in my chest lasted for 6 weeks. Doctor gave steriod shot and z pack. 21 days later congestion returned, new antibiotic and flonaise prescibed. No fever as i check everyday. Had some warm feelings in my arms and legs but no swelling of nodes, except for one on right chest nipple for a couple days. Itching inside veins elbow and below right knee for a bout a week.
Avatar n tn I still have a low grade fever ranging from 99-100.2 degrees pretty consistently. My chest congestion is worse and lungs feel tight. Is this normal for H1N1?
Avatar n tn Started out with a bad head cold, which became sinusitis. I took a z pack for five days which cleared out the infection. Next stage was a flare up of my asthma and chest congestion and a cough. I have had the cough now for a few days already. My physician says my lungs are clear and I just have a lot of congestion. Not much one can do apparently other than wait it out.
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor 12 days ago was told I had bronchitis and asthma Got z pack and prednisone and prednisone shot. Not any better - now slight cough, headache, congestion, dizzy and flushed and at night wake up all sweaty.
1901977 tn?1333991726 I was trying to tough it out but my upper respiratory infection has moved down into my chest and with my asthma, the doctor is really worried about it turning into pneumonia and just put me on the "Z-Pack" (Azithromycin)antibiotics. I'm in my 12th week right now, and really worried about taking them. But the doctor says if my breathing goes bad or I get pneumonia that's much worse for the baby...so I just took my first dose tonight.
1348086 tn?1370783185 By the time I went to the Dr, I was messed up. Told it was a sinus infection and bronchitis and was given a Z-pack (antibiotics) and that was 4 days ago and I feel great right now. Go to your Dr. you don't want this to turn in to pneumonia, and the pain will get to the point where your face will start to swell. (mine did my right eye looked like Id been punched). Remember, not knowing does not mean it will go away, and :white coat anxiety" or anxiety when seeing a Dr.
Avatar f tn On Monday I also called my dr back because I noticed a red dot on my uvula and that I had finished my z pack and still felt like crap.. They gave me something else. It looks like a z pack but its called methylphenidate I think. And I'm on day 3 out of 7 for that now. So when I got the sore throat, the cough disappeared. But with the congestion, I've got the sore throat and some cough again. I had 3 days off of work and had to call in sick so I was off for 4 days..
Avatar m tn all things considered, should I just go ahead and take my Z-pack right now? If I did have either bacterial STD, would using a 5-day Z-pack risk not treating it and then getting rebound resistant infection?
Avatar f tn I came down with bronchitis during my second trimester and ended up taking the Z pack and it clear right up. Honey/ lemon tea for sore throat. Vicks rub for chest congestion. I hope you feel better.
Avatar m tn Hey everyone, I've had chest and nose congestion for sometime now. I went to the doctor about a week ago when my symptoms were at its worse, intense wheezing, especially at night, runny nose, cough, and sneezing, that what was pretty much all I had but the wheezing was the worst part (I could hear myself breathing). My first doc prescribe me albuterol, prednisone and a z pack, I took eveything and started feeling better.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia two weeks ago. I was given Z Pack. I took it. It seemed to work for a couple of days then the symptoms returned. Doctor gave me another Z Pack. Same thing. It worked for a couple of days and then the mychoplasma returned. Question 1: Why did Z pack not get rid of it? Question 2: I'm on Doxycycline now. Will that get rid of it? I'm terrified to even get out of bed for fear that I will relapse again. I want my life back. Please help.
Avatar f tn Before Thanksgiving I went to the doctor and was given a z-pack. I missed one day of the pack so I double up the next day. I was told that I probably had strep throat although I was never tested for anything. The doctor said I should just rest and the z-pack should clear everything up. It did not. I never really recovered from this and continued to feel sick. I went to a different doctor around the first-second week of Dec 2009 and I was given steroids.
Avatar f tn I have had a sinus infection and symptoms like you twice this year and my doctor prescribed a z pack that helped right away....
Avatar f tn I have exactly the same problem every single time I take antibiotics of any kind--penicillins, sulfa drugs, cyclosporins, mycins...I've taken all of them at some point or another for a URI (most often a sinus infection or strep throat) and every time I do, about 3-5 days into the 7-10 day dosage I end up with a rash all over my neck and chest that has tiny pimples. It's barely red and rarely itches, but it always has those tiny pustules that you can literally scratch off.
Avatar f tn I have a sinus infection and was prescribed a Z pack and it didn't really help. I went back and got prescribed augmentin. I have been taking it for 3 days and now i have a pretty bad nasal drip going on in the back of my throat. I also have panic disorder and pretty much need to know that I am okay all the time. Is this normal? Is there a possibility of something awful happening from a nasal drip?
Avatar f tn And that I was also getting a bacterial infection bc of my sinuses and ears were awful. Took z pack . Congestion is somewhat better but I am so extremely exhausted a week and a half in with major headaches , and have difficulty moving around . Was put on steroids yesterday for inner ear fluid . I just feel awful . Could it be Lymes disease or anything else . Bc I can’t work bc I am so tired and get light headed with the headaches . I am not one to lounge around .
Avatar f tn You can go ahead and take the Z pack but am not really sure why they gave that to you unless they are worried about mycoplasma which is what causes walking pneumonia. I'd continue the Claritin and go ahead with the z pack. Do you still use the inhaler?
Avatar f tn My 16 year old son started coughing 3 weeks ago. The doctor said the cough was hollow and put him on z-pack. He finished the z-pack last week and he's still coughing (no phlegm). We thought it was getting better (using cold and allergy syrup) but it was bad last night after he was playing various sports all night. He is fine during sleep and he said he did not cough in school at all.
268356 tn?1236002604 m not sure that I can tell a difference in my chest congestion either. There has to be something out there that I can take that will start giving me some relief. I think I need to make an appointment with my regular doctor and go see him. The last time I got like this, I ended up with walking pneumonia. I so, don't need that right now. I've also been putting warm compresses on my chest which seem to help my coughs be a bit more productive. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Avatar f tn s a bit higher you should just keep an eye on it being the flu season is hard at work now. Do you have a cough, chest congestion, chills. If so, watch the congestion it can go into Bronchitis real fast. Take some immune boosting tea, vit c, zinc, grape seed extract. If it worsens dr.
Avatar f tn After finishing my Z pack and see only a little improvement I went back to him and this time he prescribed me a Medrol pack. It helped with my breathing but not completely. I know there is still something wrong. I finished my medrol pack but coughing and difficulty of breathing is still there. I have night sweats when I started Medrol and got a tinge of blood in my phlegm twice so he ordered chest xray cause he was thinking that I might have TB but chest xray is normal.
Avatar n tn He initially went to his primary care Doctor nearly 3 months ago complaining of severe sore throat. They did not do a swab but treated him for strep throat w/ Z pack. The sore throat eventually passed but the chest congestion has progressively worsened. He is hacking up clear phlegm constantly. He went back and Dr. once again injected him wtth an antibiotic and "something else" (Dad does not recall what it was unfortunately). Doctor also switched his BP medicine (Lisinopril?
11970398 tn?1443134602 I just went through the whole sinus and ear infection with bronchitis thing last week. It was horrible! But dr gave me a z-pack and literally like 2days later i started feeling WAY better.
Avatar n tn This morning, I spit up a clot of dark blood. I had eaten a carrot muffin last night, & thought that this was just a piece of that, since it was about that color & substantial feeling. However, I then started coughing up some stuff, and it was all brownish blood mixed with mucous. I coughed several times, and each time it was dark blood with mucous. Once, It was a rather long piece, with a round bigger piece at one end. I could feel it come up out of my throat area.
Avatar f tn I see a lot of people asking about z pack curing chlamydia/gonorrhea and the common response is “It has to be 1g at once to work.” I’m confused by this. 1 g is 1,500mg. The typical z pack is 1,500mg total over the course of 5 days. 500mg on day one and then 250mg the next four days. So my question is, why would it HAVE to be 1,000mg of z pack at once to work rather than also 1,500 over 5 days?

Avatar n tn I went to the doctor, and she put me on a z-pack. I finished the pack, along with taking albuterol for breathing sessions. I still have a cough, and went to a walk in today, and the doctor thought I might have bronchitis or pneumonia. I usually take prednisone for my breathing difficulties. Will this help with the possible broc/pne? She suggested 5 20mg. a day for 7 days. Has anyone had an experience like this? I am leaving on a cruise Sunday, and do not want to be sick.
454221 tn?1259445739 I first had bronchitis back in December 2007 and was given z-pak and entex, but no chest x-ray was done. A few weeks later I still had the wheezing and ask my doctor to give me another chest x-ray, but said she would not see anything since I did not have wheezing at the time. So I would still get wheezing about once a week to 2 weeks, but would not interfere with daily normal activities. Early March I started having mild chest pain and discomfort so I went back to the ER to get check.
