avelox

Avatar f tn also been on the avelox a week now and still have a week to go, but infection is just getting worse. have been making sure not to take any dairy or other minerals with it, 8 hrs before or 4 hrs after taking it. doc told me to take my omeprazole every day for my acid reflux (which i haven't had any problems with in quite a while) because she thought my acid reflux might be causing all of this to be worse and making my asthma flare up.
Avatar n tn Doctors treat a sinus infection they can see much more rigorously. Then leave with a good strong antibiotic, if it is a sinus infection you might try Avelox.
Avatar n tn I can barely breathe right now except for through my mouth. I cleaned the bedroom real good last night and is that what is causing me to feel this bad? I am yellow and green mucus when I blow my nose. I also have swollen lymph nodes which came up on MRI. On both MRI and CT only found cysts in maxillary sinuses and some thickening, nothing else so ENTs do not think surgery would help. I now have a really swollen and hard lump behind my ear, is this a lymph node? What is it?

Avatar f tn I was on levaquin, cipro, avelox sporadically for 5 years. They were trying to fight a sinus infection. I ended up with 24 diagnosis from 7 specialists. I truly thought that I was going to die. Fluroquinolones work as a chemotherapy. They will infest every system that your body has and will kill or attack vital organs. It usually takes at least 3 years of not taking any fluroquinolones before you will really notice an improvement.
Avatar m tn After this encounter, I began having symptoms after 10 days or so including sore throat, post-nasal drip, neck lymph nodes swollen, general fatigue (feels like low-grade fever but when temparature is checked, it is 97 to 99). Went to see a couple of doctors and they think it is sinus infection - so went on two anti-biotic treatments (Augmentin 10 days - which did not work, then Avelox 14 days). Just finished the Avelox course, but still having some post nasal drip and sore throat.
660680 tn?1225215237 A few days after the exposure I statrted taking an antibiotic, Avelox, for a sinus issue. Over the weekend I statrted to itch but with no visible signs of a rash. The question I have is this an early sign of HIV infection? Were my blood tests too close to exposure and therefore worthless? Is the "itch" a possible adverse reaction to the Avelox. I stopped taking the antibiotic today. Just overly concerned and need some reassurance that I have not contracted HIV.
Avatar f tn If you have taken any of these drugs, do you remember if you took them before or after you developed cardiac symptoms. I am wondering if my cardiac symptoms are due to taking Avelox for a sinus infection. If you do need an antibioitic make sure that your doctor does not prescribe any of these drugs. They are associated with a number of devastating reactions.
Avatar n tn Again, just redness and irritation. Treated again for a yeast infection and symptoms got a little better but never went away until this week...the symptoms are a lot better but still there a little bit. I finally saw my doctor again yesterday for my yearly check up. Told her everything and she looked at what I was talking about but said it all looked normal to her. She said it looked a little "dry" but saw nothing to cause any alarm.
Avatar f tn He then put me on a Avelox for 10 days. During the Avelox course of treatment, I was coughing very hard over the sink in the bathroom and from my right nostril a huge liver looking clot came flying out and splashed all over the place my shirt was covered. It shocked me but then another of the same came out. I had a ct of sinuses the day before and I was very blocked . Next day along with green , came a strange orangey /yellow mucus came out constant for a day , then green again.
1049259 tn?1295088478 I once again go to my allergy dr who now gave me an oral steroid and an antibiotic called AVELOX he said it could be a sinus infection or allergies. it is too the point I am getting really annoyed, frustrated, tired... I JUST WANT IT TO GO AWAY!!! any thoughts? I am scared to take the AVELOX because I have panic attacks and this medication causes nervousness, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, confolsions, and other bad side effects and I am afraid to even take it.
Avatar m tn Is this a good sign that it's been coming of my nose so heavily instead of slowly dripping down my throat. Is it almost over or should I call the doctor tomorrow and let him know I still have sinus problems and swollen lymph nodes.
Avatar n tn d certainly mention the now-gone symptoms to the doc if they come back, explain about the good effect you had from a course of Avelox, and see what the doc says. There are a bunch of low-lying infections that could be what you had/have, and only a doc can tell for sure. If things don't sort out for you, then you might consider looking into Lyme further, and on that point we here might be able to give you some pointers.
Avatar n tn I was sick with a sinus infection and somehow I woke up a week later couldn't breathe. I went to the ER and was diagnosed with pneumonia in left lung in both lobes and was admitted into the hospital for 3 days. I feel like crap and my back hurts is that part of healing. It would be a week tomorrow and I feel like crap.
Avatar f tn I have had SEVERE joint pain from taking avelox. After 2 days of taking the antibiotic for a combined sinus and a mrsa staff infection, I had crippling joint & tendon pain in my knees, ankles, Achilles, shins and hips. After calling my dr. and speaking to my pharmacist, i stopped taking the medicine immediately. I made an appointment with the prescribing dr.

Avatar n tn At the end of February, I got a bad case of the flu, which turned into another sinus infection and bronchitis. I had to take Avelox for 10 days and my vaginal symptoms seemed to return. Again, just redness and irritation. Treated again for a yeast infection and symptoms got a little better but never went away until this week...the symptoms are a lot better. I finally saw my doctor again yesterday for my yearly check up.
Avatar m tn I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
Avatar m tn Green mucuous can be a sign of infection. Your mucous should be clear. It is possible that you have a sinus infection or an upper respiratory infection. You should probably make an appointment with your doctor.
Avatar m tn influenzae and S. pneumoniae. It is also a common cause of otitis media (middle ear infection) in children and children may indeed be carriers of this organism. Many infections caused by M. catarrhalis can be treated with oral antibiotics. The following is a description of antibiotic therapy for this bacterium. The organism is generally susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanate, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracyclines, oral cephalosporins (e.g.
Avatar f tn I agree that perhaps your infection is playing a part in all of this..Infections have a way of making your lungs very sensitive. Have you talked to your doctor about this? It sounds like your airways are hyper reactive, kind of like an asthmatic would be. There are meds that can help you when you get into these spastic, coughing fits. I would see your doc and explain what is going on, so that he or she can help minimize these symptoms.
Avatar n tn Hi, Out of many causes of ankle and feet swelling , one cause is Leg infection . That is the reason why your symptoms subside for a while when you take antibiotics . Whenever you get swelling next time , please get a CBP with ESR test done to know the specific causative organism and take treatment accordingly . Please consult a physician for the same . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
Avatar n tn My doctor also suggested it might be a sinus infection and today prescribed Avelox. I wonder what was in that nasal spray Celhelp? I would ask a doctor for a good modern antibiotic as there are lots of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains out there. Hope you find relief!
