What antibiotic is better to take for a tooth infection/ absess tooth Ciprofloxacin or Bactrim?
Problem started while I was taking minocycline for acne. Went in to student health. NP RXed 10 days doxycycline, 100 mg PO BID, sent me to ER. Had an ultrasound, confirmed it was epididymitis plus a hydrocele. They gave me a shot of ceftriaxone and told me to continue with the doxycycline. The ceftriaxone helped a great deal (swelling went down almost immediately) but as I continued the course of doxy the problem began to get worse again.
I followed up with a urologist.
She treated me with 1 cefixime pill and one other pill that I cannot remember while also taking doxycycline 100mg for 10 days twice daily (June 2016 at this point). Once all 10 days of the antibiotics were done I felt better and had no testicle irritation or discomfort for the next 8 months.
Recently I noticed my testicle feeling weird January 2017 with mild aching that felt familiar to my previous experience with "Epididymitis".

hello, I have recently had a urine test and tested positive for ngu, been prescribed metronidazole, ciprofloxacin & prescribed myself with doxycycline tablets after research on the web. 1 day after i start medication I notice a rash in the head of my penis, it doesn't itch or irritate me, If I hadn't of seen it I wouldn't of knew it was there? can this be a side effect of by medication, or any other sti?
have been on different course of drugs from pefloxacin to doxycycline and gentimicin..I was diagnosed of cystitis and enteritis earlier before then..but after doin a urine test It came back positive on staphylococcus aureus and candidiasis albicum.I saw another doctor that prescribed ciprofloxacin and gentimicin..I took that for 10days...I still have these symptoms even after so many medications...am having fevers at midday coupled with burning thighs and anus.pls what could these be??
After 10 days passed and no relief from symptoms, on the 23rd of March I went back to the clinic and I was given a week course of doxycycline. After about 3 days, my symptoms changed from originally having a completely itchy urethra to no more itching but a random irritation in my urethra(the exact place is the portion of the navicular fossa furthest from the urethral opening) within 5 minutes after urination and if I squeeze it, it hurts.

i told them my symptoms and they examined and tested me and gave me a 7 days dose of doxycycline for having a NGU. (Non gonococcal urithiritis)
After seven days of dose with doxycycline, i was feeling better with no symptoms. And they gave me results next week that i was negative on gonorhea, chlamydia, syphilis and hiv. I went home back with a piece of mind and i promised myself that i will not do this again.
As i am single, so its natural that i got sexual urge again.
Hello sir , I am 22 yrs old & I had swelling on the foreskin of my penis for which my doctor prescribed cetrizine , doxycycline hyclate tablets & Lobate gm ointment (i had no idea that it contains steroid) .After 5 to 6 days that swelling or inflammation was gone . BUT now i guess there is ulcer or sore on the tip of my penis(not the foreskin) .Now My doctor has prescribed CIFRAN 500 & Doxycycline .Is it balantis or something related to syphilis ?? what should i do now ?
Dear doctor,
I returned from a trip to Asia in late November where I had had protected vaginal and unprotected oral sex with female CSWs. While there I was taking ciprofloxacin and azithromycin 500 mg daily for prophylaxis. Two days after returning, I noticed mild burning on urination, and next day there was a clear to slightly yellow discharge, in small amounts.
Few weeks later i got a uninary tract infection . for 3 weeks I have and still been under antibiotics (levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin,clarithromycin,doxycycline and cefuroxime ) i went for an Hiv test 6 weeks after exposure and was negative. I once had extreme fatigue for a whole day during this medication.. My question is could these antibiotics delay immune response to Hiv and thus delay antibody production???
2. Having taken both azithromycin and doxycycline, there are no STDs that ciprofloxacin would be reliably expected to take care of. It might treat prostatitis (which is rarely, if ever an STD) but your symptoms don't sound like this.
3. Metronidazole is a logical medication for persistent urethritis.
4. In a small number of men, persistent non-gonococcal urethritis occurs.
I was then prescribed doxycycline and ciprofloxacin, both for a 7 days, twice a day and told that i should feel a lot better.
By about the 16th or 17th day after this I noticed the same clear discharge as before but now a bit more copious with a slight white tint. I came home from work one day and there was definately a good amount of discharge...unlike before. I also am now experiencing burning during urination (nothing overwhelming, but definately new) and some pain in my testicles.
I am in the exact situation you described. Except I went on doxycycline and then a month later a round of cipro. My urologist has not been able to diagnose me either, with all bacterial and urinalysis screenings coming back negative. It has been 10 months and I still have morning irritation and small amounts of discharge with the urethral opening sometimes being stuck shut.
Overall I have no other physical symptoms or ailments.
t have any problem. Now, Iam using Tablets from doctor priscription i.e., CIPROFLOXACIN(CIFRAN-500mg). So, is it cure the infection. Please reply me soon I haven't done sex with my wife since last 4months due to infection.
Thank You

He diagnosed prostatitis and put me on ciprofloxacin for 10 days. He also did urinalysis and nothing came up reactive. WBC normal. Everything normal. So my question is, is my condition likely prostatitis or should I be concerned with an NGU that is not chlamydia? I have a girlfriend who I am concerned about spreading something to. Many thanks!
I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis, but I have taken Sulfameth, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin and still having problems. I will start to feel better evertime I take a different antibotic but then systoms come back. Swollen testis, back pain, swollen in my lower stomach area, and problems going to the bathroom. My PSA is low.
Ten days ago, I was diagnosed with Gonorrhea on a swab test at a sexual health clinic. I was treated with 400mg of ciprofloxacin as well as a seven day course of doxycycline for potential chlamydia. Almost immediately, the symptoms began to clear up (discharge, irritation). About seven days later (and after completing the doxycycline) I noticed the symptoms returning.
About 2 and half months ago I has sexual contact with included mutual masturbation where she wanked me of with vaginal fluid
1month and 2 weeks later got diagnosed with genital warts I was upset but I got over it done the treatment and was gone in matter of weeks
2 months later I started feeling burning sensation after urination thought must be dehydrated or something drank 3 or 4 liters that day same thing
Next day woke up discharge everywhere in my underwear boxers were full of it
