Avatar m tn I am taking clarithromycin for sinus infection but I am taking Tylenol 3 for some different pain.Is it OK to take to them the same time?
Avatar n tn I have been feeling somewhat dizzy and having headaches underneath my eyes and across the middle of my forehead, I also have had a very stuffy nose. Are these symptoms of a sinus infection or allergies?
Avatar m tn Dear Doctor, I don't mean to be annoying, but like most of the posters here I am a bit nervous right now. If necessary I can pay for another thread. 2 more (final) questions: 1) Currently my doctor has switched me over to doxycycline, 300 mg/day for 10 days because my sinus infection didn't respond to the clarithromycin as well as hoped. Would this dosage prevent/cure a syphilis infection, if it were present?
Avatar m tn at 3 weeks i had a (clear) chest xray. after approx. 4 weeks i developed a sinus infection and my sinuses started bleeding, so i saw a doctor and was given 1 week of amoxyclav which cleared the sinus infection and slightly improved the cough, the sputum also turned white. the cough did not improve after this point though, i still was coughing up sputum regularly and i found it very hard to suppress my coughing fits if i ever tried to.
Avatar m tn 63rd Day Combo test- Non Reactive (3 days before this test I took a 2 day course of clarithromycin 500 mg for my throat infection) Q1. Will clarithromycin affect my hiv tests? Q2. Are my test conclusive? Q3.
Avatar m tn My question is, Is there any medication that can either prevent me from getting warts or do i have to keep getting them burned if they were to keep coming back? I currently have a sinus infection and im taking clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day, My last pill is tomorrow night... just wondering if this will help with clearing them up? If someone could get back to me it would really be appreciate i could use the advice/help. thank you in advance..
Avatar f tn The ENT gave me clarithromycin 500mg (10 day) and methylprednisolone 4mg (6day) which has helped I believe get rid of the infection. During the treatment I also used a neti pot once in the morning for three days after reading how it helps and also because I was desperate for relief. Now after over a month and finishing all my medications about a week ago, two symptoms still seem to remain.
Avatar n tn Since our last post, not only was on clarithromycin for 10 days, I was on doxycycline 100mg for 7 days for infected fire ant bite. While on Doxycycline I started to feel urgency to urinate and some dribbling after urination. (I was diagnosed last year for prostititis after being tested for bacterial std's.) I called my urologist and he suggested I go on cipro 500 twice a day for ten days. The symptoms of urinating and dribbling have not subsided.
741741 tn?1294284010 When he was listening to my breathing he said it sounded like I had fluid in my left lung (Im a smoker) so he sent me in for chest xrays. He also put me on CLARITHROMYCIN XL 500MG. Anyway I have not got a call back about my xrays yet and have been on the meds for about 3-4 days now. So my Q is for about 2 days I have had a ton for bloody yellow mucus. I was yellow before but not it almost fluorescent yellow and the blood is not from my nose its in the mucus....
Avatar n tn 0 g is recommended, although most likely 1.5 g would work. If you were only exposed -- i.e. for prevention before the infection takes hold -- 1.5 g is fine. Of course whether you have or were exposed to syphilis depends entirely on information you don't provide. If you are in North America or Europe and had a heterosexual exposure you are concerned about, the odds are extremely low you were exposed to syphilis. If you're a gay man anywhere, it could be a very high risk.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the replies. I am too old to be pregnant. Was prescribed the chlarithromycin for post flu respiratory infection. Yes the flu made me nauseous but the drug made the nausea worse. I definitely now have gut problems - gas, diarrhoea, nausea, salivation etc. Yes, I will try the probiotics and peppermint tea & make an appointment to see the Dr.
Avatar n tn Hi, I was diagnosed with a sinus infection a few weeks ago and prescribed a z-pack, which I took with no issues. I am still feeling the symptoms in my sinuses so I went to the Dr last week and was prescribed Amoxicillin. About 20 mins after taking it I had this strange sensation on my lip...like a tingling/itching feeling and became itchy all over. I called the Dr and she prescribed Clarithromycin. I didn't want to take it right away, just in case I had a similar reaction.
170935 tn?1225371076 Sounds like your chest infection has not cleared up completely. Your doctor may have put you on the lowest dosage of antibiotic to see if it would clear up your infection. You should go back to your doctor as you may need a stronger dosage of antibiotic. Last year, within a two month period, my husband and I both had a serious chest and sinus infection which required us to continue going back to the doctor to get stronger dosages of antibiotic.

Avatar n tn I'll make this as brief as I can. Several weeks ago I started a zpack for a sinus infection. No problems. I was still feeling sinus pain so went back to Dr, got amoxicillin. I started getting a weird tingly feeling on my lip and getting itchy. I stopped taking it. Dr put me on clarithromycin...but I waited a while before I started taking it. The first time I took it I was ok.
Avatar n tn Well my usage of Motrin as dropped down to 2 Motrin per day after taking the Clarithromycin for 3 days, on the 4th day there was no more need for Motrin.
Avatar f tn Will it be sufficient for the cure with regular dosage or please suggest any additional measure.
Avatar n tn abscessus are sensitive to amikacin, tobramycin and imipenem, and these antibiotics are often used in combination with clarithromycin as initial therapy for extensive or disseminated M. abscessus infection, although long-term therapy with these agents is problematic as they are not available orally.12,13 Treatment duration in M.
Avatar f tn So, had brief encounter with sex worker. I am a male and she a female, just for clarity and accuracy of response though I'm confident that this is irrelevant. In any case, I received oral sex lasting only a couple minutes then shortly after completed with handjob. Anyway, that night I had extreme regrets as this not something I regularly do, only once before. So in my anxious state, I thought it best to be proactive and see if I could prevent any full infection from developing.
Avatar m tn I found out that I have gonorrhoea. I have had it for about two months already. It's in my rectum and my throat. I know that ciaftriaxone is the recommended treatment, however I am unable to get it. The medication available to me is clarithromycin (klacid). Will this be effective in curing the gonorrhoea? What dosage should I take? Please help!
Avatar n tn A sinus infection due to a tooth infection is usually in the maxillary sinues, so a Neilmed Sinus Rinse is probably best for you--available at drugstores for about $13
Avatar f tn Looks like you have developed a sinus infection which has progressed to a throat infection as well. Sinus infections cause headaches. There are tubes called 'Eustachian tubes' which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears and the resultant sounds. This can also result in infection of the ears.
Avatar m tn Doctor gave me a z-pack for Sinus infection , which is first day 500mg and 4 days 250mg, but I just found out I have Chlamydia.
