Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin and thrush

levaquin

Avatar m tn GI doc said internal hemorroids but should not cause pain. Just finished 10 days of doxocycline and levaquin and mouth seems to be better. Soreness around anus and in buttocks in general still persists.
Avatar n tn I have been treated for acid reflux disease and thrush, but neither medications have worked to remove the coating. Currently, it looks to be almost a "fuzzy" white coating with small fissures and cracks appearing when I bend my tongue. Yesterday, a doctor said that it was likely geographic tongue, but I when I stop the medication for thrush, my tongue begins to swell and feel awful. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar m tn and asked what stds can I get from receiving oral sex and I read that HIV is one of them. I took doxy, levaquin, and a shot of rocphin for other stds, and I developed oral thrush, that comes and goes, I have also read its a sign of hiv.
Avatar f tn I took some really strong antibiotics to get over it...Levaquin and something else through the IV at the hospital. I got over the pneumonia OK. Then 2 weeks ago I started using a whitening mouthwash. It caused me to have canker sores and I started having pain, so I stopped using it after 3 days. The burning pain in my mouth continued. The pain was very random, not on one side, but different spots all over at different times. My PCP diagnosed me with thrush.
Avatar n tn Recently I saw my MD and she ordered several blood tests and MRI to look for MS and other peripheral neuropathy causes. All blood tests and the MRI were normal. I think that I have had a severe drug reaction and do you think the shooting pain is Levaquin related? I took Ibuprofen for the tendon pain for 2 years starting the day after I finished the Levaquin 3 years ago. Did this increase the nerve damage? I have no balance or muscular strength problems.
Avatar f tn Yeast, bacterial vaginosis, thrush, chlamydia, ghnorrhea, trich, uti, and so on and absoulutely everything is negative. Im at a loss as everyone keeps throwing antibiprics at me and nothing is clearing this up. I have a referral with a specialisf but it hasnt been accepted yet. Five weeks and going on with this agnozing pain and no answers. Help! Also ive been taking d mannose, vitamin c, probiotics, and cranberry pills.
Avatar f tn You need to write a letter and send it certified mail. Pain in the joints and elsewhere are common side effects of Levaquin. Most times this wears off (the good news), but there are instances of long-term damage from this particular antibiotic (that's the bad news). Statistics are on your side.
Avatar n tn s say that the doctor calls me before the weekend and says that I did indeed have a bacterial infection that the Levaquin treated and all other tests came back negative (this is a hypothetical situation obviously). I started taking it today (Monday); by the time Saturday rolls around, I will have taken my 6/7 dose. My question is this: will I still be able to transmit any infection that I may have right now? Or will the Levaquin have made it so I am no longer contagious?
Avatar f tn Many antibioitics cause reflux. Levaquin is a strong one and is known to cause problems. I would recommend that you take the Levaquin with dinner tonight (it is supposed to be taken with food) and then enjoy the evening with your husband so you can both monitor your symptoms. If you have the difficulty breathing again, you should go to an ER. Also, if you are an asthmatic, you probably just need to use your inhaler on a regular basis while you get over this infection.
Avatar m tn Have severe joint pain in both knees and shoulders. Hurts to walk, and cannot move my arms above my head. Stopped taking Levaquin on Monday and is now Wednesay and pain is still unbelievable. Does anyone know how long the pain will last and is there any way to get the pain to go away sooner? My doctor said I should feel better in a couple of days.
Avatar m tn I was on levaquin a couple years ago, it made me very sick to my stomach and gave me some joint pain. I didn't realize until after I took it that it can damage tendons and I read it can also cause hernias. I would never take it again. That's just my opinion, I would also ask for something else.
Avatar f tn I went to the dr. today and was dx with a UTI. I am pretty sure I just have a UTI but if for whatever I have an STD will the Levaquin that I am taking for my UTI cure chlamydia or gonorhea? I am taking 500mg for 6 days. Please help me. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/246898'>Levaquin for Chlamydia/Gonorrhea</a>.
Avatar n tn The typical symptoms of prostatitis are fever, pelvic, testicle, or rectal pain, frequent and painful urination and ejaculation and incomplete emptying of bladder. In addition to the antibiotics, use medications to help relieve bothersome symptoms, such as alpha blockers to relieve urinary symptoms and anti-inflammatory medications for pain. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn If you have been taking levaquin, do not have a urine chlamydia test. Levaquin cures chlamydia and would make the test negative, even if you were infected recently. At this point, there is no point in having any more chlamydia testing at all.
793305 tn?1493925518 I would trust the pharmacist. I have had levaquin and synthroid and it has been fine. They have website that you can search the reaction of medications with each other. Just google it. Good luck!
Avatar n tn At this point I still had a bit of swelling in the testicle and spoke with my urologist and was prescribed another course of levaquin. ive taken it for 7 days now and see that i am still having the clear discharge and have some discomfort. also, i was also treated for a mycoplasma pnemonia infection about 3 weeks prior and was given clarithomycin for 10 days. i went to a new doctor, because I just moved out of state, and am waiting the results of a urinalysis.
Avatar n tn If my penis symptoms are so different from the classic yeast-related problems, (genital thrush etc) what could this chronic pain (and white coloration and sticky pores of the penis head after ejaculation) be from?
Avatar f tn I went to my doctor two days later and he gave me levaquin for 10 days. Ever since the incident I have had a mild burning in the tip of my penis. It is not always there. Last night I used a massager on my penis to masturbate and now it is burning really bad. Any help would be appreciated. Went back to the doctor today and he gave me 1g of azyrthmician(sp). He also ran a std check.
Avatar n tn I went back to doctor and went on another cycle of levaquin. The swelling still remained and the spot remained too, until I took a Q tip and wiped it away myself (lol gross, but it was bothering me). Ever since the second cycle of levaquin I have had the feeling of my throat swelling up, and a sensation of a lump whenever I swallow. I can swallow and breath fine, it just feels like tightness, like I am being choked.
1994720 tn?1352742233 I now wonder if my problem is medication-related. I did an interaction checker and side effect checker for the meds I'm on and a few cause dry mucous membranes and urinary retention. I wonder if this is why I got this raging yeast infection and the reason I can't get rid of it? Could vaginal dryness (which can cause vaginal wall thinning) do this?
Avatar m tn I tested for all stds that could cause infections from receiving oral sex, also took shot of penicillin, doxy percription, and levaquin scpit. I still have symtoms, sore neck sores on tounge might be from the antibiotics side effects? cuz I had bad side effects from doxy, all the stds were negative? so could I have unprotected with my wife?
Avatar m tn I was prescribed six 500mg Levaquin tablets to treat Strep Throat and a potential sinus infection. I only took 4 of the 6 pills since the side effects were getting to much to handle. I started on 3/12/2010 to 3/15/2010. Here were the side effects: -nausea -no appetite -headaches -dizziness -diarrhea -anxiety attacks -confusion, like you don't feel like yourself After I stopped taking it, my nausea and appetite returned gradually in the following two days.
Avatar n tn The levaquin has had very minimal impact overall and I wish he’d given me more cipro and a longer cycle. Has anyone had a similar case where you relapses quickly? If so, were you given a new med and did that work? Were you given the same med? Any other ideas or insights would be helpful.
Avatar n tn My husband was diagnosed with Bacterial Pneumonia and was prescribed Levaquin. He has been off the medication for about a week and a half and he is still experiencing phobic attacks in the morning. He wakes up in a panic and believes that he cannot breath. While he was taking the drug he experienced major confusion, anxiety, depression and dizziness. It was awful! He even experienced a very bad episode when he became abusive...and delusional.
