augmentin

Avatar m tn It is possible for your infection to be resistant to azithromycin, the typical treatment for NGU. The Augmentin will have no effect on chlamdia, which is what I think your doctor suspects you have. Go back into the doctor. He/she will most likely do a culture and sensitivity to identify the infectious organism as well as determine what antibiotic or combination of antibiotics will work best.
Avatar m tn I would stop medication, see no need for it. How long after symptoms did you test?
Avatar m tn After three days from the unprotected oral intercourse with the male partner, i had a bad sore throat with swollen lymph node, the doctor prescribed for me Augmentin 1G for 5 days. Symptoms resolved now but started again after i had sex with my wife couple of weeks later with some genital itching and urine dripping feeling. I have done a complete STD panel testing on day 12 from the exposure including hiv RNA which came back all negative.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working. I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18. Thank you!!
Avatar f tn 4 days on augmentin 825 for a chronic dental infection (now a bone infection), I started having major swelling in my hands. This is new, I've never had swelling like this. Yesterday my one hand looked freakishly red and swollen. It was so swollen, that when I straightened out my hand (which was difficult), everything turned white, inbetween the redness. Anyway, I tried going off the augmentin (I'm taking it in conjunction with clindamycin), and today I feel much less swollen.
Avatar f tn I have been fighting a bone infection in my jaw for 6 months - it wasn't identified until this past month but I'd been very sick this whole time. This past month I finally found a good oral surgeon who removed the 2 teeth causing the problem, and cleaned out the bone underneath.
Avatar f tn Hello~It is always a good idea to take a good, high potency pro-biotic when on long-term antibiotics as the antibiotics tend to remove the "friendly" bacteria from your gut, thus sometimes causing issues like thrush, or candida. You can get the pro-biotics from most health food stores, make sure they are the kind that are refrigerated and have high amounts in each dose.
Avatar f tn Now 2 days in I have diarrhea. Should I discontinue the augmentin? If not, what is the best way to treatthe diarrhea?
Avatar f tn Augmentin will affect your pill. The other one I do not know about. It probably takes a couple of days for the antiboitics to get out of your system. You might wanna use a second form of protection just in case.
Avatar m tn While that is most, for most recommended therapies we expect about a 95% cure rate. The same is tre for NGU where the recommended therapies would be either doxycycline or azithromycin. I present this as fact but would also temper these astatemetns that, all things being equal, your risk fo infection from the exposure you describe is very, very low.
Avatar f tn Went to the clinic and gave a repeat specimen, it showed Entercoccus was placed on Augmentin. From research I have found that the only thing that works on Entercoccus bacteria is vancomycin.
250701 tn?1320974765 My kids always got diarrhea on augmentin. I hope your tummy is doing well. Did he test your sputum for a bacterial infection? I wouldn't take an antibiotic called in without being sure I had one. Feel better.
Avatar n tn ve been taking Augmentin almost for a week now. I heard Cefexime 4g is the usual choice. how long does it take for Gonorrhea to affect the joint? I have been having joint pains for almost 2 weeks. Also does Gonorrhea cause hives? my first symptom was Hives 2 days after unprotected sexual contact. and until today (1 month from the date of sexual contact) the redness still did not resolve completely. I share a bed with my sister and she got sick as well a week ago. started coughing and a fever.
Avatar n tn m taking the Augmentin, would it be advisable that I get tested? Is Augmentin a good medication for treating these types of infections? Who should get tested again, and when? Thank you.
Avatar f tn HI, Advair is used for patients with asthma or COPD which it does not sound like you have. You also need a prescription for it, so I don't think it is a good idea to take it. Nasonex is prescribed for nasal symptoms related to seasonal allergies. I don't think that this will help you either. I think you should ask your doctor about the persistent cough (perhaps it is allergy related) and see what he/she suggests. Good luck.
Avatar n tn long standing sinus infection,had amoxicillin,now on 2weeks of augmentin,have 2 days left,developed itchy red areas on body ?
Avatar f tn Is Augmentin good enough to treat this? Could it be coming back for some reason? It is hurting the same way it was before I took the antibiotics, as if I was re-infected. Any ideas would help, thanks.
