Avatar f tn then i got sick with allergies and cold symptoms so my sister took me to carenow where i got doxycycline hyclate 100mg 2x a day for 10 days to clear up my sinus infection. right after i stopped taking the doxycycline i went to the dentist for a bad cavitity on my back tooth and got amoxicillin 500mg 3x a day for 10 days. it is possible that those meds not only cleared up what they were prescribed for but the std as well?
Avatar m tn I have been taking Doxycycline for about ten days now. It is the only new thing that I have done in the last month. In the last three days I have been feeling chest discomfort, shortness of breath and have PVCs. Could this be a side effect of the antibiotic. I also have a tooth waiting for extraction next week, but is not bothering me at all.
Avatar m tn leeturner: I think the same thing happened to me. I took doxycycline for a week for a sinus infection. Noticed my arms began to feel dry and itchy. Then plenty of little red bumps broke out on my arms. My arms itched like mad. Tried OTC Cortisone10, but it did not help. Finally I went to HMO clinic. Doctor prescribed a very mild lotion to be applied every 12 hours. Two days later I still had no relief, the rash had spread all over body. It had been awakening me at night.
Avatar n tn (I should have mentioned that I am allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin so he was out of options as far as antibiotics to try) He cut the area open and cleaned it out thoroughly and that was the end of it(for then), although he did not prescribe me any antibiotics for after that treatment since I had gone through 2 rounds already and I take doxycycline for my acne and he believed it would be sufficient (much like he thought last time, I'm no doctor but if an infection is so bad that it has
Avatar n tn In September the same symptoms started again, and another dentist said it was the tooth that I had root canal in 5 years ago had an infection and gave me penicillin, advising to perform the operation again. The pain subsided, but I did not follow the course of antibiotics properly. Three weeks later I went back to Bulgaria and saw two different dentists who both told me the route canal was perfect, and nothing else is visible on the X ray.
Avatar f tn s, he ejaculated in my mouth. Afterward I noticed blood tinged semen at the tip of his penis. I have been taking doxycycline for a tooth infection for a few days. My question is if he were to have Clamydia or Gonnorhea, would this antibiotic eradicate the infection since I am already taking it?
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 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 n tn Hi, I need some advise regarding my teeth. I had a root canal done on my tooth 19th maybe about 3 years ago. 2 years ago my gum swelled because of pus & infection therefore the dentist did another root canal to remove the infection. I found out last sep. that there's some infection underneath that same tooth again, but because of some complication with insurance i didn't do anything about it till now. This time there's no swelling or pain or any sort of discomfort.

Avatar n tn I took single dose of doxycycline everyday for 6 weeks during the summer. Would that have cleared a chamydia infection.
Avatar m tn last 8 weeks ago i had a unprotected sex, the first week was fine, but i can feel something being dull on the left side of my testicle and a small white discharge(clear) and ask a doctor about it and gave me a doxycycline for 1 week but nothing seems to change the discharge was the only thing was gone on the second week the aching on the left side of my testicle most especially at the bottom became more frequent whenever i sit or walk until it became unbearable then i started to feel tired, urge
Avatar m tn Even a single dose of doxycycline could convert an infection to asymptomatic or make a test false negative, at least for a while. I would wait for 4-5 days after your doxycycline to get tested unless symptoms develop. Should symptoms develop, testing at that time should be accurate.
Avatar f tn even if the tooth falls out the infection could have already damaged the bone and other teeth. run to the dentist now!!!!!
Avatar n tn Neck lymph nodes can be the result of tonsillitis, pharyngitis (infection of upper throat), infection in mouth, caries in tooth, internal ear infection, outer ear infection, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, breast cancer, fungal infection, other cancers like lymphoma etc. If you had flu like symptoms initially then it could be due to infectious mononucleosis too. Please discuss this with your doctor. Take care!
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Hi, I got a bride fitted on my top left side, it is 4 teeth and fits on the tooth next to the top left wisdom tooth, obviously that tooth was ground and made smaller for the bridge to fit on it, the tooth was absolutely healthy and fine, i have never had any problems with that tooth earlier, the day grinding took place that tooth became sore, very very sensitive and I had to get temp.
Avatar m tn Hello, I have had an ulcer on my wisdom tooth gum that has grown over the tooth and is causing me extreme discomfort. My dentist prescribed my Doxycycline 100mg and Percocet 5/325 to combat the pain. It has been over a week now and the problem has not been alleviated. I feel awkward asking my doctor for a slightly stronger pain medication considering the taboo surrounding a question such as that. I don't feel awkward asking for additional antibiotics.
12182312 tn?1427683956 Hi guys..ok..I need some advice. I have been going to my dentist now for about 10 years. He is a good dentist with a good bedside manner also. But here's the thing. I have a broken tooth that is definitely infected. It is killing me. I know I need antibiotics. Last year I had a wisdom tooth that needed to be extracted. I went to an oral surgeon. The extraction was a piece of cake, but the site of it became infected. The oral surgeon did nothing. I went to my dentist. Crying in pain.
4322328 tn?1353998038 Go see a dentist but for now try gargling with salt water. Your baby isn't hurt inside but if it is an infection in your tooth and it doesn't get fixed it could move into your blood which would be bad.
Avatar m tn About two weeks after this exposure, I was prescribed with a short course of doxycycline due to a facial skin infection, I have also learnt that this can treat some STD’s (unaware at the time of prescription). It’s been 8 weeks since I finished my doxycycline course and I have had sex with my girlfriend on multiple occasions during this period. Do to guilt and worry, I decided to get tested yesterday (thankfully all negative). 1.

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 Sounds like you need an antibiotic, and even some vicoden or something. I'm sure being pregnant limits your options for pain control, and maybe even the antibotics. The doctor, or dentist who did the extraction should have given you antibiotics and pain medication if they were needed. I'd call whoever extracted your tooth and find out if pain medication and/or antibiotics are warranted.
