Avatar f tn What type of anitbiotic is good for a bacterial vaginal infection? I have had greenish discharge and recurrent yeast infections for about 9 mos.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and a vaginal infection. I assume its bacterial vaginosis because my doctor prescribed Bactrim and Metrogel. But because I have Raynaud's Syndrome, I can't use Metrogel. So my doctor has now prescribed Cipro. But how would either one help with the vaginosis? And as for the bladder infection, couldn't I just take one because they both treat UTIs?
Avatar f tn Its an antibiotic called clindamycin HCl for bacterial vaginosis. Its like every month since July I have to take a dose of clindamycin HCl twice a day for seven days... July I took flagyl for two days was allergic to it so they gave me clindesse vaginal cream for my baby! Then august found out I still have it and they have me take this clindanycin HCl tablet. Then august 27th, ugh I still have it!! They're making me take the same ****. Sorry im just a lil bit disappointed nor upset.
Avatar m tn Well I laid it off as a bacterial infection, because everyone told me if he had used them or not, I could not get the disease that way. I have never had sex, so it can not be an STD then, and I have never had these symptoms before. The symptoms seemed to have eased up since I first had the infection, but they have not gone away, even with 2 whole weeks of 2 a day Clindamycin. It has been about 2-2.5 weeks since I have taken the pills.
Avatar n tn I just finished a course of clindamycin for a tooth infection, and as FTB4 said, it does not interact with levo. Listen to his advice about the probiotic and/or yogurt. Clindamycin messed up my gut worse than any antibiotic I've ever taken (which isn't many). Also, is your sore throat and runny nose due to a bacterial infection? If it's due to a cold or the flu, both viruses, no antibiotic will help it. Antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses.
Avatar f tn I was told that is was a bacterial infection, but was confused on how I could get it. I was examines and my discharge was sent out for examination. It was determined bacterial infection. I was prescribed Metro Gel, 5 nights and Doxycycline for 7 days 2x a day. I am not sure if I have to be re-examined and that this is all set. I will have to call the doctor.
Avatar f tn My question is I seem to have an absessed tooth I was perscribed clindamycin for it but was told to take 12 pills daily each being 150 mg does this seem normal? I am calling my doctor tomorrow to see what she thinks, just kinda wondered if anyone else has had this issue.
Avatar f tn Hello, Cottage cheese discharge is due to candida infection but grayish thin discharge is due to bacterial vaginosis. You can use metronidazole gel(metrogel) or clindamycin cream(cleocin) for local application on vagina.They have fewer side effects.But pls inform your gynecologist before talking them. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.

Avatar m tn sort of watery and thick..It stated I had a bacterial infection. I believe I had it for some time now but never went to the doctor..but im planning on going soon as possible. I Just want to know what can I do to help with the discomfort or even to clear up in the meantime? I dont really smell anything..maybe a slight odor but nothing major.. Ive never had an infection before and never went to the gyno before..I was looking at rePHresh vaginal gel...will this help temporarily?
Avatar n tn Hello, Ziana contains clindamycin which is a sort of antibiotic used topically for acne caused by bacterial infection. Herpes is caused by a viral infection and antibiotics are not effective. For viral infections, antiviral drugs are needed. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn i finished taking metronidazole 500mg for 7 days and then took a pill for yeast infection for one day cant remenber the name but a week after the npleasant smell is still her ..
Avatar m tn Yes, clindamycin is good for bacterial infections which is what you have and also helps with acne/pimples.
1706065 tn?1332934560 ) I just found out at my 7 week scan that I have an vaginal infection and my doctor gave me clindamycin phosphate cream. My nurse and doctor have both assured me it is safe to take during my first trimester. Did anyone else use this during their pregnancy? Thank you!
Avatar m tn Hello, It does not sound like a fungal infection which is itchy rather than painful. It looks like a bacterial infection which is causing tenderness and pain. Continue taking the oral antibiotics. Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the symptoms persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Avatar m tn Does anyone have experience with non-prescription antibiotic ointments for bacterial (staphylococcal) folliculitis? Do they work?
Avatar n tn t get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
Avatar f tn For the past 6 + months i have been battlling recurrent yeast and bacterial infections. I have been on multiple doses of Diflucan, Terazol, Monistat, and clindamycin. Nothing seems to help. The doctor just says she doesnt know and prescribes something else. I am getting extremely frustrated and depressed and dont know what else to do. I tried adding a daily dose of probiotic every day (did that for several months) and that only seemed to exacerbate things.
Avatar f tn My lower right jaw was a little sore yesterday. I woke up today, it feels like someone punched me in that same spot and it's swollen, and it got worse very quickly, now my mouth is in throbbing pain and it hurts to move my face/mouth/lips. My doctor prescribed me 300mg clindamycin. How long until my pain goes away?!? Took my first (double) dose an hour ago and I'm in so much pain still, I'm sweating and can't think of anything else!!! Please help!!!
Avatar m tn The sinus flush part was for the left side infection. Yes, continue with antibiotics for the dental infection, as those follow the usual medical model for infections.
Avatar n tn I keep sweating and have discharge after I been treat for bacterial vaginosis . Ob gyn proscribed me tinamax oral for 5 days.
Avatar f tn After 1 week of use i noticed my face was muchmore red and scaly dry worse than before and developed red itchy rash on neck and chest went back to derm took me off metro cream said i have folliculitis and prescribed me clindamycin. Aftter my research online i noticed antifungal creams are for folliculitis not acne medication was i given the wrong medication?
