Avatar f tn Try steam inhalation, anti inflammatory drugs along with anti histaminics and antibiotics (amoxicillin, levofloxacin etc) for a week or so. Sinus drainage is also done but only after confirmation of diagnosis. MRI sinuses usually show up the pathology. Visit website http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/sinus-headache-000073.

Avatar m tn CT scan showed sinusitis involving all sinuses. Augmenting was taking for up to 1 month. Symptoms improved, then in Feb 2018 mucus production came back and Moraxella Catarrhalis was isolated. TReated with Levofloxacin for 14 days. Symptoms improved. Globus sensation haven't change.

Avatar f tn Hi, your symptoms are suggestive of migraine, in sinusitis headaches are usually not pulsating but dull and also not that severe. But, low grade fever should be investigated. This could be either due to sinus infection or something else. Try treatment with antibiotics (amoxacillin, levofloxacin etc) along with anti histaminics, anti inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen,diclofenac etc). If no response is seen, consult neurologist for migraine therapy.
Avatar n tn I have had 3 sinus infections in the last 8 weeks. I'm on my third antibiotic (levofloxacin) and i'm still experiencing problems. Most of the problem is on my left side. I had a CT scan and it showed a deviated septum but the ENT was not too concerned. Any body else ever have sypmtons like these? The symptons get better when I'm on the meds but return again when I stop taking them. Headaches as well.
Avatar m tn Usually seven days is required to see clinical benefit in severe sinusitis infection. If it stays worse for more than a week then further evaluation is required. Ideally, endoscopically-guided culture could be performed to determine the effective antibiotic and should be started without delay. As an empirical therapy, its better to start with augmentin, this is already been done in your case. Otherwise levofloxacin can be effective alternative.
Avatar n tn Have you been diagnosed with syphilis through a blood test?
Avatar n tn I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
Avatar m tn Tendon rupture and horrible aches and pains for months can result. People have different genetic tolerances. I can tolerate Cipro, for example, however Levofloxacin caused me terrible problems for almost eight months. Getting back to your question the answer is "probably", but not absolutely positively. . Both medications interfere with bacterial replication, but in slightly different ways.

Avatar m tn Rx Levofloxacin which resolved symptoms in the nxt 2-3 days. Also had sore throat, severe sinusitis at that time. Rash resolved in 12 days with antihistanamics & on holding kayflex. Physical was wnl. Physician told me could be mononucleosis. I am a health professional, with no needle stick etc. My Q: Considering my sexual history, recent symtopms, especially the palm & sole rash, pharyngitis etc, do you think I shd get a HIV Dna test?
Avatar m tn I immediately went to see an urologist, after telling him everything, he gave me a shot of Ceftriaxone at the center vein of the right arm and prescribed me two pills, Azee 500mg and Levofloxacin 750mg, 5 tablets each over 5 days after lunch(azee) and before sleep(levofloxacin). Today is the second day of my course and the burning sensation while urinating has reduced from before but the eyes still stay red throughout the day.
Avatar m tn I believed I had epididmytitis earlier. I took levaquin. Later, I wondered if there could be any chance of contracting HIV. Anyhow, I know that the only way is to get tested, but while waiting for a good time to get tested, as it's still a bit early to get an accurate result, I'd like to ask the question in the title. I know that levaquin is for killing bacteria and that HIV is a virus. Yet, can levaquin indirectly prevent ars symptoms from showing up?
Avatar m tn If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
Avatar f tn You really should be using a steroid nasal spray for you excessive mucous production for your sinuses. Antibiotics help acute sinusitis infections. I often do saline irrigations of my sinuses, that helps remove the excess mucous that is in the sinuses. Also gets rid of infected material. These irrigations should be done twice a day. I've also noticed that when you have excess lung mucous you will feel it rattling around deep in your lungs before it makes it's way up.
Avatar m tn Because I just tried it, and it burns so bad! I have chronic sinusitis for two years with a lot of polyps. No medication helps, except corticosteroids but infection gets back immediately after stopping using them.

Avatar m tn 2) Hard lump in the left testicle from 4 days ago until about today. (I went to the doctor and started levofloxacin, 100mg x3 a day for over 7 days. I live in Japan, so yes, this dosage is 100% correct. I read somewhere that people thought this dosage is not possible).
