Avatar m tn I'm taking Doxycycline 100 mg/24 h to treat recurrent chalazion/internal hordeolum but this seems not to help. I've been told that Doxycycline doesn't help treat acute bacterial infection but MGD. I have a bit of eye discharge in the mornings. I guess this is due to the draining internal hordeolum. Would Cephalexin 500mg or Tobrex be better options to treat this condition?
Avatar f tn The pressure in my eyes was higher than normal from taking the Tobradex, so I've been told not to take it anymore and to not take the Lotemax. The internal hordeolum has not gone down, but hasn't gotten worse. My eye infection is gone, but now I've been given a script for Bepreve and was told to talk to an allergist. I know that the Bepreve will not work because it doesn't have a steroid in it. The other allergy drops I've tried (and spent hundreds of dollars on!
Avatar f tn I suspect that you are suffering from a blocked oil gland, suffering what is commonly referred to as a stye or hordeolum. Warm compresses and gentle massage of the inflamed area should release the blockage and allow the puss that has formed to drain. I should note that that a hordeolum is not an infection, i.e., it is not caused by a bacterial invasion of the tissue. Therefore, antibiotics are not a first line of treatment.
Avatar n tn It would be called a chalazion or internal hordeolum. If it doesn't go away in a couple of weeks go see an ophthalmologist as it may be something else.
Avatar n tn Hi, It seems like you could be having a stye.A stye or hordeolum is an infection of the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes. While they produce no lasting damage, styes can be quite painful. The first signs of a stye are tenderness, pain and redness in the affected area. While most styes will drain on their own, this process can be accelerated by the application of a hot or warm compress. They usually resolve by themselves.
Avatar m tn Hi and thanks in advance for any help offered. I am 41 years old. I was sick head throat lots of coughing. Pretty much laid out for three solid days. First or second day of feeling good enough to go outside I had been sweating quite heavily. In the process of wiping my forehead/face across my left shoulder t-shirt it caught something like a small pimple on the top of my eyelid. Ouch.
Avatar f tn Overview A number of types of bumps can develop on the inside of the eye. More often that not, the bumps are benign and not cause for alarm. The most common bumps are styes, but these inflamed oil glands are red in color and quite tender to the touch. A white bump, on the other hand, is typically an indication of a blocked gland or cystic lesion.

Avatar n tn The vet prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 3 weeks. My dog seems fine without any obvious symptoms.

Avatar f tn I took Doxycycline for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. A week after finishing the Doxy I developed a sore throat and sore tongue. I'm assuming it is a reaction to the drug. How long will this stay in my system and is there anything I can take to alleviate the reaction?
Avatar m tn I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
Avatar m tn I've been taking doxycycline for acne on my back for a few weeks (50 mg twice daily). The doxycycline was prescribed for inflamed pimples on my back, which would be sore and red. Each individual pimple would go away on its own but I would generally have a couple new ones every week. I had been having acid reflux before I started taking the doxycycline, and it seems to be worse now. Yesterday, I rolled over on my stomach while in bed and my esophagus was burned by acid.
Avatar n tn But the insomnia was miserable so I called my doctor to ask if there was anything I could do for the side effects, so he switched me to 3 wks of doxycycline, which I started taking immediately. Now I sleep OK but after two days the symptoms are back in full force. I'm wondering if I made a mistake in switching. Have others had similar experiences? Is doxy just slower to take effect?
Avatar n tn Two weeks later a large infected rash appeared. I got myself tested for Lyme and it came out negative. I was given a day of Doxycycline and then it was changed to Amoxicillan. I took it for two weeks. The doctor told me to stop the medication and get retested. Two weeks later, I got my positive results. I had, at this point, two weeks on, two weeks off the antibiotics. When I returned to the doctor with positive results, he put me back on Doxycycline for another two weeks.
