Common Questions and Answers about Is biaxin good for sinus infection

biaxin

Avatar m tn Also should add, treated with Cipro 500mg for 10 days and Biaxin 500mg for 21 days for sinus infection, during the time frame of possible std infection....would this cause a delay or would it actually cure the std infection, if there was one to begin with?
Avatar f tn The doctor took blood and did a throat culture, in case I had strep or mono. Neither was present. BUT he gave me a different antibiotic for the sinus infection called Biaxin, for acute sinusitis, which has been working wonders after one day on it. But I just read that Biaxin is given to HIV/AIDS patients for Mycobacterium avium complex!!!! Is it possible that he did an HIV test without my knowledge and is now trying to treat me for it????
Avatar m tn I have a bunch of symptoms that im afraid may indicate something serious. blotchy rash on my neck, chest palms and groin; loss of sensation and discoloration of my penis; cold sweats; constipation and difficulty urinating w no pain involved. I've had a sinus infection and ear infection for sometime now but just started taking biaxin yesterday. Not much improvement..could I have some kidney or liver issues due to years of cocaine abuse?
Avatar n tn I am 3 months pregnant and am prone to sinus infections and it seems the only antibiotic that works for me is biaxin. I have a sinus infection now, is it safe to take biaxin 2 pills together for ten days?
Avatar n tn just one last point, the biaxin and amoxicilian were taken at different times around 2-3 months apart. Biaxin was for a Resp infection and the amoxicilian was for my saliva gland issue. These all have been taken throughtout the last year since exposure. Would Biaxin or amoxicial cure syphlis by themselves?. no more questions from me so I would like to thank you for your time!.
Avatar m tn I also took biaxin for a throat problem a week ago. Doc gave me 500mg pills twice a day for 5 days. and I took them for 3 days then stopped for 2 day then finished the last 2 days after cause I found out that I have to do all of them. Would this have cured anyt sti? Sorry for long question doc just want everything answered at once.
880656 tn?1240444916 He was on an antibotic 2 weeks ago for an ear infect and 4 days ago he was coughing so bad his dr ordered sinus x ray and he has a bad maxillary infection on both sides. He has been taking Biaxin for 4 days now and is running 102.2 fever tonight. He has bad reflux- we had a ph probe study done. his sinuses are formed weird. He had a methocoline challenge and failed at the first dose labeling him evere. He takes the highest dose of Symbicort (same that I do) I just needed to complain.
Avatar n tn For the past week I have been taking an antibiotic called Biaxin (for a sinus infection) which I know can trigger yeast infections. I have had yeast infections before and some have been frightening and painful, but this feels a bit different.... There is no itchiness or discharge, but I have some redness and some concentrated red sores. There is also some pinching feeling on the skin. Does this sound like a herpes outbreak? Should I start taking my acyclovir?
Avatar m tn Because my bronchitis had gone away only to develop into a sinus infection, I was prescribed Doxy 100mg / 2x / day for five days, which I took religiously according to instructions. Now, 2 weeks after appearing, the bump is still there. Foolishly I keep squeezing it; on the days when I don't it shrinks with a (closed, not ulcerous head). I'm going to leave it alone from now on, but here is my question finally: Does this sound like a chancre?
1138687 tn?1548643978 I will probably be safe with the clarith (and I know is also called biaxin, but thanks for pointing that out!). But tomorrow I will be talking with my doctor and thanks so much for this information, it is very helpful. It's just also been stressful the past few days so it's hard for me to think clearly about what I will do. I'll give an update, tahnks again!!
Avatar n tn I recently went back to the doctor and i am on Biaxin, it cleared my sinus infection, but i have 1 day left on these pills, and my throat still has all the same problems. I was looking online and i have ALL the symptoms of Larynx Cancer, now im REALLY worried, does anyone have any advice about this, i get paranoia really badly. I have a allergy test of june 27 (i don't think that is the problem), and ultra sound tests on July 6 for my throat.
Avatar n tn t get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
862235 tn?1336060295 I've had a sore throat off and on (mostly on) for about 3 weeks now. I went to the doctor last Friday and was prescribed Biaxin 500mg twice per day. I've been doing this for 5 days now and there's been no improvement. The pain seems to move around my throat and neck area but its always intense. Yesterday it was below the larynx and today it`s mostly below my ear on the left side. Last Saturday was the last day that I had little or no pain.
Avatar m tn Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic related to azithromycin which is widely used to treat STIs however biaxin is not well studies for STI treatment or prevention. As a result, while it is likely that biaxin may be effective against common bacterial STIs, there are not good data to say this with confidence. Most women do not have STIS and it is unlikely that your partner had and STI or if she did, you may not have acquired one.
Avatar n tn Was in ER yesterday with chills, low grade fever (had for weeks), COUGH (had for weeks). Chest x-ray ok. Told to take Biaxin (2 500mg pills once a day for 3 weeks), along Prednisone Pack, and an inhaler CT Scan results: 1. Small focus of soft tissue density at the anterior left ethmoid sinus. 2. Mild mucosal thickening at the inferior left maxillary sinus and minimal degree of mucosal thickening of the superomedial left maxillary sinus.
1236313 tn?1295726268 If your doctor is prescribing antibiotics, and they are working a little but not a lot, then the doctor has diagnosed a sinus infection. The reason the antibiotics may not be working is that infected mucus becomes encapsulated and antibiotics won't penetrate it. The Mayo Clinic figured this out, and I found a way to remove the infected mucus.
Avatar f tn This is happening to me right now. I was on an antibiotic for a SINUS INFECTION (Biaxin) and only a couple days later I also started having paid with urination and also the urine is a little cloudy. After being on antibiotics for two full weeks I just don't understand how I could have another infection so quickly.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you have a bacterial infection that is not being properly treated. I would ask the doctor for a different type of antibiotic like Biaxin or Bactrum. It might help if you saw a pulmonologist for an accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment. Another idea is that you are having allergy issues. If you identify your allergen and practice avoidance measures, that could take care of the problem as well.
Avatar f tn in midafternoon, a quiet time to read or something relaxing and see if that gets you past the tired time, rather than trying to fight it. I was on Biaxin but not Tindamax, and anyway everyone is different, esp in Lymelands. Be kind to your body!
Avatar m tn I just moved to Denver from Chicago. Right before we left, I could tell I had a sinus infection, as I have a long history of sinus issues. I also have stomach issues, history of a couple ulcers. A couple of ENT's have told me I have obvious signs of GERD, though I don't often have indigestion, sometimes I can taste acid in the morning. Anyway, I saw a doc when I arrived in Denver and she gave me Biaxin for the sinus infection. Only it doesn't seem to have cleared up.
Avatar m tn Good morning Dr. I've had ongoing stomach issues for as long as I can remember. When I was child I was told that I was lactose intolerant. In highschool I always had an uneasy stomach and then as I got older I started to get severe cramping. I mean severe. The cramping would always be followed by diarrhea and then more cramping and then diarrhea. That would last for a night or a day sometimes longer and then it would stop. So three and a half years ago I finally got it checked out.
776539 tn?1235582251 The CT showed a cronic sinus infection, so I was given Biaxin (generic). I had an allergic reaction to this with extreme dizziness and swelling of my neck along the left side. So I am now taking Flonase. This is in hopes of reducing the frequency of my migraines, if the sinus infection is knocked out. The eye doctor did not see anything in the CT to help explain my eye troubles, so I have an MRI scheduled on the 27th, to get a closer look at my eye muscles and nerves.
Avatar n tn 04PM You are right that the data on use of azithromycin for syphilis prevention is worrisome however penicillin (or amoxicillin) is highly active and if you had been exposure to syphilis 5 days of amoxicillin would have cured it. Please do not th8ink that I am trying to "point a finger". I just wanted to let you know that I have taken the time to research but am still vague on the issue. Would 1.5g of azithromycin taken in a single dose cure syphillis?
1464587 tn?1307491605 I would suggest you press you doc to focus on your yeast status and deal with it. The first step is to test you for what fungal infection you may have. If your current doc blows you off, I'd find another doc, perhaps an immunologist, but maybe better is an openminded internist or GP, since specialists seem to get lost in the weeds to often. That's what I would do first: see another doc about the fungal infection.
