Avatar m tn Hi! I'm 22 years old guy, I have a pharyngithis and tonsillits for 2 weeks, the doctor gave me 5 day ciprofloxacin ( I don't know if it works for tonsillitis ) and 7 day nimesulide. In the second day taking the ciprofloxacin, my throat pain went away and until now just the pharyngithis and tonsillits persistis.
Avatar m tn ve also noticed my tongue looks whiter or furrier than usual. Throat still sore and glands still swollen and painful. Is this just a throat infection? Or symptoms of an STD?

Avatar m tn About 5 or 6 weeks after the encounter, I noticed a very faint red speckled rash on my hipbone (only visible with close inspection in good light), and I had a sore throat, a doctor gave me ciprofloxacin for the throat infection, which sent away. Around that same time, the vein on my scrotum seemed to soften and go back to normal color. A week or so later, I got another sore throat.
Avatar m tn But the doctors that it was because of exams DST never put your chances of having chlamydia and gonorrhea orally, after a few months I had an infection in the lungs. My doctor passed to me to take 7 days Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, 3 days Azithromycin 1g. I have not been diagnosed with any of these diseases, I think it was because he did not request a test for gonorrhea or chlamydia in the throat. After my medication my symptoms disappeared after 4 to 5 days later.
Avatar f tn By that evening I had 103 F fever and my doc gave me anthromyzine (common to kill bacterial infection). But my Wednesday morning my throat was so much it hurt like tell to swallow anything (worst I have experienced ever). The doc added Ciprofloxacin (more powerful) to my regime (diagnosed me tonsillopharyngitis) but after a day now my throat is still terribly bad (very painful when swallowing) but my fever has dropped to 100.
Avatar n tn No, the ciprofloxacin was proably given in case you had gonorrhea (some people use if for this). As you point out, ciprofloxacin is not recommended for NGU. The antibiotics you took should be out of your system 10 dyas after taking the azithromycin. The cipro will be out at that time as well.
Avatar m tn Penicillin was prescribed for the throat infection because some antibiotics are known to have better perfusion for some tissues, such as penicillin or azithromycin for throat infections. However, it is not an ideal situation to be on so many antibiotics at once as they tend to eliminate the normal organisms in the body predisposing to gastrointestinal disturbances. Do increase your intake of yoghurt to replace the "friendly" organisms.
Avatar n tn Hello, After my research on internet (01/11/09), I learned that I got infected by Gonorrhea after receiving unprotected oral sex from my partner who had Tonsil throat infection. The symptoms (penile discharge, burning sensation, frequent need to urine) started about 3 days after the act and upon describing the symptoms to my Dr.
Avatar m tn m sure you can safely stop the ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin was the wrong treatment for NGU anyway). As uncomfortable the symptoms have been for you, there will be no lasting harm. Thanks again for your question. Let me know if anything isn't clear.
1413519 tn?1281818201 This time he got a severe infection that he treated for 2 weeks with little results. He was sent to a specialist. Treatment plan, antibiotic drops, steroid drops, as well as some type of drops to help his pupil to shrink. Although his redness has diminished, his pupil is HUGE and he has very poor vision from that eye. This is after about 2 1/2 weeks of incident and 1 week of specialist treatment plan. I tried to surf net for information with little results.
Avatar m tn The pains continued so i went to doctor thinking it was a bladder or kidney infection. He perscribed me ciprofloxacin but that did not help, another urine test, no infection. And after worrying alot about it, im starting to get panic attacks and tingling in my hands and feet, is it likely that i have HIV? please help.
Avatar n tn just went to doctor again dr. said i it is a skin infection. i am on ciprofloxacin 500 mg. he said could be because of low immune. that is me. im done . it will take six month to test positive without a doubt. i have never been sick before. it hiv, period.
Avatar m tn Now 6 and 1/2 weeks post exposure I still have this weak pain while urinating and still sore throat for like now 3-4 weeks. I tested for HIV yesterday and it was negative. Please give me some reasonable advice and I don't want to destroy my liver and kindeys with any more useless antibiotics. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I am still suffering stiff neck, headache, sore throat, fatigue, general malaise 12 days after starting antibiotics. Been struggling with this for one month total. Doctor said its possibly a virus as well. I had a kidney stone in my left kidney 20 years ago. Today started experiencing slight twinges in my left kidney again. I live in a remote area so a second opinion will require travel and overnight stay. Should I seek a second opinion? Many thanks for your time.
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with a kidney infection, my right flank pain is still present and I still have spouts of feeling ill after taking 3 doses of my perscribed Anti-biotic (ciprofloxacin). My doctor told me that I should feel better within 24 hours so I was wondering if this is normal or if it is something I should be conserned about. How long after taking medication will my pain go away?
Avatar f tn chances are the infection never really went away, if it was gonorreah or syphilis it probably relapsed...
1084115 tn?1385228589 the test came back positive and the doc (gastr doc)told me to take ciprofloxacin 500 twice daily for 10 days. i told him that im not sure i want to take this as i know its hard on the liver, he said i can take it as he asked back my hepatologist (they both work in the same hospital/transplant center).
Avatar n tn ive been using ciprofloxacin and it is draing down my throat is it harmful??? i have to use them every 3 for 8 days can it harm me???
Avatar m tn I am in my 40's and recently played in a softball game, running and throwing for the first time in a long time. Afterwards i was a little sore in the groin area Then three days later I had unprotected oral with an escort with no ejaculation. The oral was pretty aggressive, according to her. At the time I was just beginning to feel like I was coming down with a sinus infection. I also kissed her mouth with my tongue. Two days after the encounter i began a Z-pack.
Avatar f tn A recent CT Scan showed a sinus infection. I know it has been going on for a very long long time. Probably close to a year. Is that possible if it just smolters, in a manner of speaking. I know I have complained for a very long time about having a constant headache, and is so painful when lying down, I would sleep, if I could, sitting up in a recliner for days at a time. Sinus dripping all the time, and also becoming more intense while sleeping, waking to clear my throat.
Avatar f tn I took ciprofloxacin while pregnant, it's safe to take while pregnant, however an infection or medication can create a hostile enviorment for sperm.
Avatar f tn Could this be something other than a UTI? Urine culture showed a bacterial infection. Is it common for this to take 1 or 2 courses of antibiotics to clear up?
