1901977 tn?1333991726 I was trying to tough it out but my upper respiratory infection has moved down into my chest and with my asthma, the doctor is really worried about it turning into pneumonia and just put me on the "Z-Pack" (Azithromycin)antibiotics. I'm in my 12th week right now, and really worried about taking them. But the doctor says if my breathing goes bad or I get pneumonia that's much worse for the baby...so I just took my first dose tonight.
Avatar n tn Yeah along with a 7 to 10 day course of Doxy for Chlamydia.

Avatar f tn I had texted with my physician and after being sick for 11 days, he had put me on mild Antibiotics Azithromycin 250mg for 5 days (first day 500mg) saying I probably have walking pneumonia. I had Mycoplasma walking pneumonia 2x before in 2009 already. It slowly improved after taking it and I'm better, but still not healthy and feel it is getting worse again. Every inbreath I feel a cold tickling in the mid chest area and feel I need to suppress a dry cough.
Avatar f tn Also, important to keep in mind that the medicine stays working in your body for several days after taking it ... since it's one of those that you take for "X" am't of days but continues to work for 10 so that is probably why the rash is continuing if it's allergy to the med. I would consult with your Dr and if anything life threatening appears like tight throat, signs of anaphylaxis, etc. get immediately to the ER, etc.
Avatar m tn The doses of azithromycin studies for treatment of chlamydia, NGU, and gonorrhea have been studied when the medication is taken as single doses. Thus, questions about doses taken at lower doses and on different schedules is difficult to answer and require estimation of their effectiveness as opposed to answers based firmly on scientific studies.
Avatar m tn I have taken antibiotic medication for pneumonia, 7 days of 500 mg azemax (Azithromycin). Could that also clear any std specially syphillis if i had one?

446049 tn?1649005835 She sent me for chest xrays and started me on Albuterol inhaler, ZPak antibiotic (Azithromycin) for 5 days and mucinex. The xrays came back negative for pneumonia but indicated lungs were minimally hyperinflated. I've never smoked. I feel a bit better but still have the cough.(4 weeks now). Would Erythromycin be a better antibiotic to stop this cough?
Avatar f tn My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia on 6/2. He was prescribed azithromycin and prednisone, which he has since finished. He was seen earlier in the week by our primary care physician and given a chest xray. Xray came back clear except for pneumonia. He has asthma as well. He now has sharp and constant neck and arm pain. Pain has been going on for two days and is concentrated mostly in the neck, but also on the left side of his forearm; both on his left side.
Avatar n tn I have been hospitalized for pneumonia three times and have received the vaccine. Because I have two implanted Neurostimulators, I have to be very careful amd try prevent any bacteria from spreading into my leads Are their some pictures of pneumonia mucus, so that I could compare know if I need to get additional help? The clinic doctor on campus gave me Azithromycin 250 MG tabs. I had to take two today and for the next four days will take one tablet.
Avatar n tn current recommendations are you get the shot of ceftriaxone and oral azithromycin at the same time if you test + for gonorrhea. the 2 gm dose of azithromycin alone is only helpful for chlamydia at this point, not gonorrhea. if you were given just oral treatment for gonorrhea, you are supposed to retest any time after 1 week post treatment to see if it was effective or not. why does it fail?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
Avatar n tn I just received my chlamydia treatment in the form of 4 tablets to be taken in one dose of Azithromycin. I starting menstruating today and I didnt know if there would be any reason this would affect the effectiveness of the drug. Also my partner was just treated yesterday...How long before we can resume having sex?
Avatar f tn Day after i felt discomfort, frequent urinating and top of my penis (entrance) is swallen and red sometimes. Dr gave me 1000mg azithromycin and tested me for chlamidia, ureaplasma, micoplasma, all negative. Symptoms were still present but i waited 15 days and tested for chlamidia, ghonorea, micoplasma,ureaplasma, trich, all negative. I also tested ejaculate and they found klebsiella pneumonia so i took levofloxacin (500mg daily), and now it s 6th day i started with levofloxacin.
Avatar m tn We we both prescribed 1000mg of azithromycin, 4 bills at 250mg. After 7 days of taking the medication we engaged in protected vaginal sex (condom). About 2 weeks later we performed unprotected oral sex (both of us giving and receiving) and continued with protected vaginal sex. 4 weeks after taking azithromycin I got re-tested for chlamydia which my results came back as negative. Her's came back as positive. How common is it for 1000mg azithromycin not to be effective for clamydia?
Avatar f tn Do you know what dose of antibiotics he took? 1000 mg of azithromycin is the treatment for chlamydia and NGU, and you'd have to be treated for that. It would probably be 2 or 4 pills, or a nasty powder they mix with water. They wouldn't give him that for a bump, unless they are incompetent.
Avatar f tn Hi, thank you for your response. I was aware that it's usually given as a shorter prescription than other antibiotics, and that gave me the idea that it was not for serious infections, perhaps I was wrong. I have no personal experience using it, thanks for telling me about yours. I just wondered if it was an adequate length of time for MRSA, because generally that's treated with weeks of antibiotics if it's internal.
Avatar n tn We get fevers when we have the flu and pneumonia. OH, from my experience the after effects of a long bout of antibiotics seem to be very wicked. The antibody test must be administered to determine your HIV status.A routine blood test by your doctor will not do either. You must ask your doctor specifically for AN HIV TEST. Take comfort in the fact that you may not have been involved in a high risk activity.
Avatar m tn 3 days later I have some sensation on the tip of my penis. So I took another 1g of azithromycin along with 1000 mg of dose of cefuroxime. not hurt when I urinate just feels funny. No yellow or funny discharge. This am I have some testicular pain. Can I be over thinking this? Can I go get tested since I took the antiobitics? I did masturbate several times maybe I just overworked the area?
Avatar f tn The type of anti biotic depends on the type of pneumonia she has , as she has only taken the meds for a few days I would continue as prescribed but if indeed she seems worse and her temperature climbs it may be aswell to have her checked out again ..
