levaquin

Avatar n tn I am on my third round of anti-biotics for a sinus infection and cannot get any relief. The first round was 14 days (cannot remember name) along with a one week supply of Prednisone. The infection seemed to get better, but came back very strong 3 days after my meds were finished. My head hurt so badly that I was crying and had to use an ice pack to help ease the pain. My doctor gave me Levaquin (10 days), another 7 day supply of Prednisone, and Lortab 10mg.
Avatar f tn My prior medical history is gastroparesis (of unknown etiology) and was just recently treated for a sinus infection with Levaquin 750 mg for 5 days. I was also very nauseous and dizzy today for several hours. Had a vague pain behind my eyes. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn t seem to be eliminating the infection, either. I obviously need to find out exactly what is causing this sinus infection. Can anyone give me tips as to what my next steps should be. I want to ask my family doctor the right questions, get referred to a specialist if necessary, etc. I have decent insurance (knock on wood!) but I don't want to waste time and money running around. We're in Chicago so many types of specialists would be available to me.
Avatar m tn Had unprotected oral (only) sex exposure (giving and recvg) 2 months ago. Took 8 days of 400mg Avelox for sinus infection post exposure. Saw Urologist appx 11 days after event with urgency / frequency to urinate, fullness in abdomen, penile discomfort consistent with having to urinate badly. No dischearge and no burning when urinating. Urine sample was clear, rectal prostate exam with secretions showed bacteria in prostate. Diagnosed with prostatitis. I am not sure what (clear) meant?
Avatar m tn Levaquin made me very ill. I have lupus & was given Levaquin for a sinus infection. Big no no. Levaquin can & will give you autoimmune disease symptoms and I already had one. Trust me it is not worth it. After 6 pills my calf muscles began to cramp. Dr. says ibuprofen 600mg a day.. Well its been all downhill from there. I developed full body tendinitis,(couldn't walk) my joints & muscles swelled so bad my nerves were compressed.
Avatar n tn May 16th – sinus infection begins (fever, chills, a few headaches, major body aches, back aches) May 19th – went to see Dr. Laebethal. Did X-rays and diagnosed with severe sinus infection. Doctor gave me an injection of steroids and antibiotic. Along with a prescription for a 5 day pack of Levaquin, and 10 day pack of Allegra D-12. May 24th – finish levaquin pack. still feel bad. May 28th – sore throat starts, assume its caused by drainage. May 29th – finish Allegra D-12 pack.
Avatar m tn I was on Levaquin for 10 days for a sinus infection. 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 f tn Hello, I am on Levaquin for a sinus infection and I just found out that my sexual partner had gonnorhea. And I was wondering if the Levaquin would take care of the gonnorhea if I had it.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately I had to start a course of Levaquin for a sinus infection and UTI. I am scheduled to complete the course of Levaquin on Tuesday, February 5. Is it safe to try to get pregnant on Friday, February 8. I have not started any prenatal vitamins, is it foolish to start prenatal vitamins along with the Levaquin or should I have been taking these a few months beforehand?
Avatar f tn So now I'm on Levaquin for 3 weeks for a sinus infection. One of the side effects is tendonitis. I already have tendonits (both wrists) and everything has failed including physical therapy and steroid injections, i was referred to surgeon now as nothing has worked, have an appoint in November. Should I take the levaquin if i already have tendonitis? The sinus infection is bad saw ENT friday and put me on levaquin.
793305 tn?1493925518 Is the fact that I have an autoimmune thing going on? Is that why I am being plagued by kidney infection? I haven't had this trouble since I was in my 20's....Also dealing with sinus infection...I just feel like one big puss ball. I'm not really having trouble catching colds and flu from without, but it seems like I'm being plagued from within....Know what I mean?
Avatar m tn Well, if you goal is to help somebody, you have done it with me. Well done and I am very grateful. Now we must do something about your user name...how about, "Healthy and Hearty." Gee, 48 hours without flecainide and I'm still on sinus rhythm. I feel like hell with this ear infection and the Levaquin, but so far, so good. I am keeping my journal daily and I won't bore you with a day to day synopsis, but I would like to help you in return. I am a good listener.
Avatar f tn Now, having explained everything, I would like to ask your educated opinion on what might the cause of this type of sinus infection and why I cannot be cured with the medicine I have been given? My personal hypothesis is that since my sugar levels are usually in the 180-200 mg/dl and I have an extremely big hepatic health problem, I am unable to heal. My other guesses are: 1) I may be immune to many antibiotics or I may have a virus and not an bacterial infection.
458072 tn?1291415186 Hello everyone. I have an ongoing sinus and ear infection. It is now trying to move into my lungs(bronchitis). I have had 2 rounds of Levaquin, an injection of Rocephin and dexamethazone and it is STILL not clearing up. I hated to take those antibiotics in the first place. They are always a LAST LAST resort for me. Probiotics have been taken for the issue these cause, but does anyone know of anything else I can try that will work.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed leviquin for bronchitis and sinus infection after a prior antibiotic didn't work. I was also put on a steroid (dextremethisone) something like that. It was a 10 day treatment. The first couple doses made my heart feel like it was coming out of my chest, that passed.
Avatar f tn i have had a infection in my lungs since mid-May. treated with doxycycline by end of june for 1 wk. started on avelox end of july for 1 wk. then given levaquin for a wk. by last wk doc said she didn't think was infection cause levaquin shoudl have killed anything, even though I was still having gobs of green phlegm coming down the back of my throat and out of my lungs. she sent me to the asthma and allergy clinic where i was tested for 27 diff allergies all negative for.
Avatar m tn Doctor prescribed Prednisone,Zithromax, Acyclovir [for cold sores] and Clindamycin cap 300 mg for sinus infection. Just lately I got acid reflux.... hard to swallow... even when I did it was bad... slight burning to severe burning feeling on the left hand side of my mid upper chest area. I went back again to see the doctor who told me the coughing, wheezing [which now both had stopped... nearly completely] from the sinus infection is proobably the causes of it. He now prescribed AdipHex....
1137036 tn?1263515995 Then about a month and a half ago I got really stressed and started worrying often, and got a sinus infection about 2 weeks later. The doctor took xrays and gave me amoxicillin clavulanate. He said one side cleared after a week, but the right side needed another week or antibiotics. I never really felt 100% better and then last Friday I started having ear pain and little fever. So I started myself on Levaquin 500 mg a day.
Avatar f tn I had sinus surgery about 5 months ago and they diagnosed me with psudemonas and no seems to be able to help me, can you?
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor who suggested it could be a bacterial infection, and prescribed me Levaquin. I got tested for every potential STD: HIV, Hep A/B, Syphilis, etc. Now, let'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.
Avatar f tn I had a cat scan done which showed I have chronic sinus infection, a nasal polyp, and deviated septum. I had a sleep study done and waiting for results. I have had Levaquin 500 mg for 20 days. Then Levaquin 750 mg for 10 days. I still have fever and sinus headaches. The doctor also started me on Mucinex. I do not think it is doing anything at all. My fever varies from 99.9 to 100.5. I am always tired.
Avatar n tn    But, I was still feeling fatigued, and the open sore high in my nose still persisted, but better.  Finally, and luckily, I had my first full blown sinus infection last February.  My allergist gave me a round of Amoxicillin and then Levaquin.  The sore in my nose went away.  I was still feeling fatigued, but could actually manage to make dinner.
Avatar n tn Exertion plus already dehydrated body with high Antibiotic dosage for 20 days, Guifenisin, Sinus infection, Allergic Rhinitis, too much of green tea (diuretic) etc probably is causing the blood in urine. I strongly suspect trauma on Sunday casued blood in urine, because 5 weeks back my WBC in CBC was normal, now its high. Am I guessing right, I am not trained in medical field? Now, the Kidney stone part you brought up is interesting.
Avatar n tn I was on 875 mg of amoxicillin for respritory infection then the day i finished that I was given levaquin for a sinus infection I got while I was on the amoxicillin and now I have an ear infection with discharge and bleeding and the sinus infection is not gone? Is it possible to get all these infections one right after the other while on these anibiotics?
Avatar m tn I don't think Levaquin can be used to treat bacterial STD's (though I could be mistaken). Doxycycline (100 mg 2x per day for 7 days) can be used to treat effectively all sexually transmitted bacterial infections (Syphilis as well, but it would require 2 weeks on that treatment). But I don't think this is STD related. This could easily be due to something else. I had a similar problem which lasted several weeks while I was in London.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor on Friday, May 28 and he said I had a sinus infection. He prescribed me Levaquin, but the sore throat has not changed any and it is May 31. How long before I start to see a change in sore throat with the antibiotics? If by chance I did have oral gonorrhea, would the levaquin cure it? With the sinus infections I have had in the past, I have had discolored nasal discharge, but drainage with this sinus infection seems to be more mucus down back of the throat.
721523 tn?1331581802 We discussed that I have had a sinus infection since August. He checked my IgG level. He also told me no less than 4 time to go to my ENT, NOW. I have an appointment with the ent tomorrow. The solumedrol allowd me to catch the virus that my baby had. Combine that with a sinus infection that has already survived 3 rounds of antibiotics and well I ended up in the Inturnests office. I wasx only able to see the NP that day. She gave me biaxin. I stayed sick, with green smelly junk.
