omnicef

Avatar n tn SHe has white spots the size of an eraser on each side of her throat and her throat is almost swollen closed. I took her back today and they gave her clindomycein and prednisone which she had last year for mono. He honestly said "I don't know what to do with you?" and walked out? SHe can't eat and she can't swallow and white spots are getting worse. WHat do I do next? Obviously not go back to the same pediatrician.
Avatar f tn On Tuesday, 1/12/10, my daugher was sent home from school with a temperature and an irritated throat. The fever was running between 102-103. On Wednesday her temperature started elevating reaching near 105. The fever would come down with Motrin and Tylenol but as soon as it would wear off, the fever would return. I took her to her pediatrician that same day where they did a strep test which came back negative, prescribed omnicef and sent us home.
Avatar n tn Never having dealt with strep I assumed the smell was from the bacteria of strep. The Amoxicillan they gave her did not work so we went back for Omnicef and after 2 doses of meds the smell was gone. Two weeks after meds the smell came back... back to the Dr. no strep... no answers.... Ive tried everything from no juice to flossing with no luck. Is this an indication of a bigger problem?
Avatar f tn i saw a doctor and was diagnosed with sinusitis/ bronchitis, with a negative strep culture from the oropharynx. was placed on omnicef. I returned to the doctor with worsening of the arthralgia and fatigue. I have a slightly elevated ESR and CRP. My ANA is still pending. What am i possibly looking at?

Avatar f tn My sodium level was low and my white blood count and granulocytes were very high and my lymphocytes were low. The Dr. put me on Omnicef for 10 days. I went back to the doctor a few days ago, and everything else turned out normal except now I had high Calcium and High Total Blood Protein. My Total Protein was 10.6. I am worried about the possibility of a Parathyroid Tumor with Cancer or something serious.
Avatar f tn Toddlers tend to put their hands in their mouths alot ( and my son ***** his thumb when he is sleepy).I wash his hands often but he still gets these throat infections. Except for a period when he went about 4 months without any problem, he gets the infections about every three to four weeks or so. On occasion, if his throat is only a little red, he will get over it on his own. But more often that not, his throat is very infected and ulcers develop so that he needs an antibiotic.

Avatar n tn He has not had any other type of infection i.e. strep throat, sinus , just ear infections. My concern is that he has some type of immunodeficeny. I am looking for a little piece of mind.....
Avatar n tn and she was diagnosed with Strep Throat (She normally gets strep at least 3 times/winter).She was given omnicef for an antibiotic (she is allergic to Zithromax) About a week and a half later she was diagnosed with Pnemonia, and given anther omnicef perscription. One week later the pnemonia was getting worse, and she was hopsitalized for 2 days with IV antibiotics. We left with an additional 5 days of omnicef. Through out this time, she continues to run fevers any where from 99.5-105.

And strep is notoriously resistant. They now use higher doses of things and antibiotics have additive agents to help them stay potent in killing the bacteria. So, if you took the full course and are still sick, follow back up with your doctor for the next step. Knock this out hopefully soon!
Avatar m tn Avelox and Omnicef are usually for for respiratory infections, and might cure ngu or chlamydia, but probably not gonorrhea. Have you been seen for your discharge and burning?
Avatar f tn My 9yr old has had a sore throat for about two weeks. Her throat is red but no visible white bumps or pus. Her voice is hoarse but she has no other symptoms.
1672333 tn?1416694918 Usually, a swollen tougue is associated with allergy but your strep throat is persistant. It may have been due to so many antibiotics or a reaction to one of them. I'm glad you didn't have thrush, I figured since you had strep throat, a classic sign is pus on the tonsils or on the sides of the throat. Usually, thrush is on the tongue. Anyway, I hope you get this resolved verys soon.
Avatar f tn I remember the day before not feeling too good and my mom making me eat poached egg on toast for dinner the night before. I think I had strep throat or was coming down with it. I remember having very little appetite. My mom said that the next time I showed her, the toilet looked as red as a test tube of blood. She rushed me to the doctors and later to the hospital. I had my 6th birthday in the hospital and remember having to have bedrest for the summer. I had to go on a salt free diet.
Avatar f tn Your tongue will have a white film on the back of it if you have strep. Swallowing is very painful. Be a man and go see your doctor. If it is Strep throat it will not go away without antibiotics, and if you do have an STD get that taken care of too!
Avatar f tn t respond to the drugs that they usually give you for strep throat. So it is possible that you could have it. That is my professional opinion as a clinical microbiologist The only other thing is are your lymph nodes swollen? Could these be what you feel when you swallow? You may have had the original strep throat and then your lymph nodes swelled and that is hat you feel? That with some residual pain from the sore throat? I don't know how bad your throat feels.
Avatar n tn m concerned this could be STD related, or a super strain of strep. is it possible to have a throat infection for months?
Avatar f tn I got sick Sunday with a terrible sore throat, so I went to the doctor Monday. I ended up having strep throat. (sounds like fun huh?) anyway I told her how I could not sleep and she also knows that I had quit hydro's on the 23rd. So she explained to me how ambien was very addictive, and she did not won't me to trade one problem for another so she prescribed me rozerem 8mg. I took one about 10:30pm, fell asleep at about 1:00am, woke up at eleven. Oh my gosh...I feel great..
Avatar f tn Strep throat is an infection, not an allergy. I have never heard of a cat giving a human a strep infection.
Avatar n tn This fall he has been exposed to strep and he is now doing toe curling tics and finger cracking over and over. It is going on six weeks since they started. He is on zoloft for anxiety, abilify for the moods and attention and tics. Omnicef for the strep reaction. How do I know if the meds are working if he is still having these bad flair ups?.He is so sensitive and cries so easily. I notice him overreacting to things.

Avatar n tn Hello my 12 year old was taking omnicef for a ear infection and 10 days into it she got hives all over her body and they come and go and really ichy do you think it's from the Omnicef?
Avatar f tn white specs in back of the throat is a sign of Strep throat, i have it right now actually, but the sensation that your throat is closing could be an allergic reaction you might be having Did you take any over the counter meds for your throat, that you have not taken before?
