Avatar m tn The chronic mycoplasma infection is easier to treat than the clamydia infection. If it is a clamydia infection it will take a while for the antibiotics to work. God bless.
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 m tn Visited the doctor the third day of the infection when I was sure it was an ear infection due to thr completely clogged ear and the presence of fluid which I could feel + the severe pain (strong pulsing). The doctor just gave me Clarithromycin 500 mg and Nurofen (painkiller) which on the first day made the situation worse because my second ear got also infected and totally clogged.
Avatar m tn I have the same problem with my ear. Ringing and an ear infection. Here's what i'm doing now so. I hope this helps you. Took Clarithromycin (Biaxin) for 7 days: This is a strong antibiotic so read up on all side effects. I can tell you one of the side effects is nightmares so don't take this med when going to sleep. And it's alway good to take some probiotics when taking antibiotic.
2063580 tn?1330961379 I thought it was because some water got in my ear in shower, that I was having a monumental ear ache. But I went to an ENT, and he said I have an infection behind my ear-drum. And that it's because of a cold gone wrong. So then he prescribed Clarithromycin twice a day for a week. I have taken 2 tablets of the prescribed med, and my throat pain is worse than before. It's agony to swallow and I'm coughing so much. Please help me. Can I take Tylenol to help me with the pain?
Avatar m tn Thanks for this forum I visited a massage parlor in San Fransisco 9 months ago. I had blowjob(with condom) and vaginal sex(with condom) about 5 mins. Condom not broken , not slipped and not tear. Washed carefully after that. When i asked her "she said about her health is clean". I got cold+ runny nose after 2 months and it got subsided by taking cold medications. After 8 months, i got fever and I visited doctor. Doctor didn't observed any infection in my ear and throat.
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.
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 m tn Exactly two days after this, I came down with a sore throat, ear infection and cough. The doctor said I have pneumonia and an ear that is "so infected it's gross." I am taking albuterol, clarithromycin and mucinex. Luckily, the guy that I slept with said that he had gotten an HIV test a few months ago and tested negative, and always uses condoms. I consulted some internet resources, which said that the antibiotic that I'm on is very common for people with HIV.
Avatar n tn I have also had three rounds of ear drops, even had to have a wick put in my ear just to get the drops to the ear. This has been the most painfull ear infection I have ever had! I had to be given pain meds, too just so I could sleep. I fianlly went to a specialist who told me my ears looked pretty good, but gave me one more round of drops just to make sure. It is now a week since I finished them and my pain is starting to come back already.
Avatar m tn Clarithromycin (Biaxin in the US) is chemically similar to azithromycin (Zithromax), one of the standard drugs for several STDs. Although it has not been studied extensively against STDs, it undoubtedly is effective in either treating or preventing all the infections that respond to azithromycin. In the dose you were give, you were protected from chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), gonorrhea, and probably syphilis.

Avatar m tn Hey guys, I have some weird smell in my upper palate and the top of my rhinopharynx after taking Augmentin 1000 (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid), 2x/day for 5.5 days to cure my Helicobacter and gastritis. I took the last pill ~40 hours ago, but still got this ... strange, foul smell, and it drives me nuts!
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with Hep C associated cirrhosis. She has had some complications, including esophageal varices and ascites. She remains fairly well compensated and does not exhibit symptoms such as fatigue or confusion. During an endoscopy her doctor also noticed an ulcer and tested her for H pylori (which was positive). He's prescribed Prevpac to kill the bacteria and heal the ulcer.
Avatar m tn Having diarrhea after antibiotics is not rare, but also not normal. I recommend you to have stool test for C-diff and for occult blood. Having problems with breathing is probably from the acid coming up into your throat and then down into lungs. You should fix this promptly, it may damage your lungs (aspiration pneumonia, with lung scars). There's another possibility - alergy to one of antibiotics. Would you say you have any lips or face swelling or skin itching?
Avatar m tn d just finished a week course of clarithromycin for a chest infection. The doctor said that this drug could have cleared up a chlamydia infection if I'd had one.
Avatar n tn I have this cramping chest pains in the my left chest, towards almost underneath my armpit, I have been blowing my nose and infection coming out of my nostrils, I am taking Ran-Clarithromycin 250 mg twice daily. Just started now the chest pains and its feels like muscle crampy in my breast tissue. Is this normal? Im 27 and healthy otherwise!
Avatar m tn About a month ago I was prescribed a course of Clarithromycin for a skin infection. Since taking the drug I've suffered huge surges of adrenaline, which kicks in like a lighting shot at the point of sleep. It kept me away many nights and I was beside myself with worry. It's now more than three weeks since I stopped the medication (I only completed 2.5 days out of 7) and I find that the adrenaline surges have subsided somewhat.
Avatar m tn Clarithromycin isn't the treatment of choice for any STD. However, it would effectively prevent most cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). But not all. Antibiotics, including clarithromycin, have no effect on viruses and therefore cannot prevent herpes, HPV, or HIV.
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.
Avatar n tn Amoxicillin is also sometimes used together with another antibiotic called clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This combination is sometimes used with a stomach acid reducer called lansoprazole. Since you havent mentioned what caused this food poisoning and other relevant information, its difficult to suggest a medicine. I ll just say, There are better medicines for food poisoning.
