augmentin

250701 tn?1320974765 My lung Doctor called me in some augmentin because I have been coughing up thick yellow mucus. I just don't know if I can take it on treatment. Does anyone know??
Avatar f tn Penicillin is one of the meds prescribed to pregnant women with a Strep B infection.
Avatar f tn was aware I had the seizure problem and prescribed cipro, which I had to call and tell them to send me something different. The one at the pharmacy now is Augmentin. Just need a neurologist`s expert opinion as to whether or not it is alright to take Augmentin with my myoclonic seizure condition. Do not want to start up any seizures. However, this UTI is hurting so badly!!! If It is too risky then I can`t take it!!!! Please help me.
Avatar n tn Hi, antibiotics, such as amoxicillin for 2 weeks, have been the recommended first-line treatment of uncomplicated acute sinusitis. Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) is also an appropriate first-line treatment of uncomplicated acute sinusitis. Other options include cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin) and cefuroxime (Ceftin). In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin.
Avatar f tn Malarone is what landed me in the hospital that time. I had also tried mepron. I hadn't heard of that other drug but it seems you are on the right track and glad to hear it!
Avatar n tn augmentin would likely cure it if you had enough of it. I am just curious if you asked the doctors why are you asking us....... none of us are doctors.......you came for advice and the advice was sound. The cure for oral ghonnorhea is not augmentin as advised by the CDC and I think you will find if you rephrased your question and asked the docs what the reccomended cure would be they would not even list augmentin or amoxicillin.
Avatar n tn um yes she should not have had penicillian...your not suppose to take any antibiotics like that while pregnant...
Avatar m tn Month after the treatment the doctor made TPH tests and said that there is no difference at all, which is strange, because I was treated with penicillin. She added that one of the tests was negative, another will stay positive for life and there is no increase, neither decrease which I didn't understand. And she wanted me to have another treatment with penicillin depo...
640719 tn?1277140030 I'm getting a bit scared lately... I have been battling a recent UTI. I used to get them a lot when I was younger but haven't had one in about 2- 3 years. Anyway, took levaquin 500mg for about a week and felt much better then 4 days later it hit again. Did the AZO testing which tested positive for nitrate so went back on Levaquin and after two days of taking it I wasn't getting much relief so I went to my doctor.
Avatar n tn t wait too weeks and call your doctor when it is 72 hours past when you started the antibiotics. Is it your throat or your skin that is infected?
Avatar f tn I'm not buying your story about the er at all! First of all, there is no way that the nurse didn't know what a dry socket is, and two I doubt that they told you that penicillin only comes in an injection! I also don't believe that you are a health care provider, or you would know that amoxicillin is AUGMENTIN, & it has penicillin in it!!!.....
Avatar n tn Gotta love best friends, they will do you in!!! She is still taking the zyrtec, so that wasn't the culprit. It seems like the only thing it could have been was the augmentin. So even thought he rast was negative, some Drs. have said that that doesn't matter, I gusee that test isnot always accurate. I said what are the chances you would get ARS THE SAME TIME YOU ARE ON AN ANTIBIOTIC?!!!! Make me crazy!!!The angiodema is what made me lean towards allergic reaction, what do you think?
Avatar f tn 5 weeks and my doctor detected strep b in my urine. i dont really feel too comfortable taking these in the first trimester even though they may be considered "safe". any insight would be great.
Avatar m tn Your doc gave you augmentin because strep B is susceptible to that form of penicillin, but not in the prostate because it doesn't get inside in high enough quantity. But, Penicillin G administered by injection did for me. Prostatitis is curable, but you need a doctor that cares and uses science rather than witchcraft.
Avatar m tn I am leery of anything that could add to my liver damage and normally try to get an antibiotic in the penicillin family. There are times that the risk outweighs the benefit. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn She took it for one week, and on the seventh day of the ten day course is when she broke out in hives!!! She proceeded to tell me that they took 5 days to go away and that some who pop up here and there for a few weeks. The cortisone, steroid, and zyrtec halped to cure them, She also had angiodema around her eyes, the angiodema coupled with the hives responding to steroids and antihistmaines truly, to me, points to allergy.
Avatar n tn It is now 5 days taking benadryl and the hives and itching have not stopped. What is in the clindamycin that I may be allergic to?
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 Hi, I have a sinus infection and the doctor has prescribed me Augmentin. I hate taking medication when I'm pregnant but I need to get better :( I am only 8 weeks. Has anyone else taken antibiotics in their first trimester?
Avatar f tn t working, but Cephalexin is different enough it might work. You can tell if its working if the pain/swelling go away in 4-5 days.
Avatar n tn But 10-15% are resistant. Augmentin is active against even the resistant strains. Augmentin has not been studied for its effect against pharyngeal gonorrhea, but in the doses used for strep throat and respiratory infections, it probably would cure it. Asymptomatic urethral gonorrhea is uncommon in men, and testing is reliable. The asymptomatic person can be sure he doesn't have it. There is no point in you being tested while taking augmentin.
Avatar m tn t use my hands to open bottles and things of that nature due to tingling in my hands from the swellings and from the veins near surface of hands. Went to ER and they only visually looked and said they see nothing wrong with veins and swellings probably from eating to much salt, which is not true because my diet hasn't changed and I haven't experienced this before.
Avatar f tn I thought i was the only one in the world this happens to. I want to speak with you. The exact same thing is happeneing to me. Write to me as soon as you get this please.
