Avatar f tn Hi, probably this is sinusitis. Pressure or headache while bending is seen in sinusitis. Accumulation of mucus in sinuses behind cheeks, eyes etc.causes these kind of symptoms. 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.
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. Mucus secretion came back, this time with more blood. March 2018, MRI shows abnormal growth and mild sinusitis.
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.
483814 tn?1214311480 18 years of age). Levofloxacin is contraindicated in persons with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone antibacterials. Serious and occasionally fatal events, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions and some of unknown etiology, have been reported in patients receiving therapy with quinolones, including levofloxacin.
Avatar n tn Careful with Levofloxacin. Sometimes the side effects aren't worth the benefits. I took Levofloxacin to cure a bout of pneumonia. Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
Avatar n tn Is 500 mg of Levofloxacin every 48 hours suppose to make a 70 year old diabetic dialysis patient drowsy, fatigued, emotionally disturbed, and delirious? Is it okay to stop the continuing dosage after seeing the affects of the first dose?
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 If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
Avatar m tn No, levofloxacin (Levoquin®) would have no effect on ARS symptoms. All ARS symptoms are due directly to the body's immune response to HIV.
Avatar m tn my scrotum is not itchy, but i have some not so pleasant tingling , and a burning sensation , happened imediately afer i had sex . for 3 weeks i dont feel getting any better after i tried levofloxacin , applying Methylprednisolone aceponate gel , metronidazole, antifungal (containing nystatin , neomycin sulfate, triamcinolone acetonide) gel. my sack looks very loose.
Avatar f tn Hallo every 1 just a question went to Dr and he gave me levofloxacin 500mg for 7 days did not skip dose took pill as Dr said didn't have entercourse or nothing tomorrow is my last pill why do I still feel inching inside my urethra not constant can it maybe be trichomoniasis or what's going on here. I'm very stressed over this constant pressing and looking for dischard and and and.
Avatar f tn I also tested ejaculate and they found klebsiella pneumonia so i took levofloxacin (500mg daily), and now it s 6th day i started with levofloxacin. My symptoms are still present, i also feal pain sometimes in lower abdomen, simptoms come and go during day and i cant stand it anymore. What should i do, can this be because or iritation with hand antiseptic or klebsiola or some other bactery (hidden syphilis) or even virus (herpes, hpv...
Avatar m tn I now understand that levofloxacin can cure E. I thought it had to cure C or G, which would in turn cure my E. But it seems, though I'd like someone to confirm it if you have any knowledge, that levofloxacin directly cures E. New question: Epididymitis was cured by levofloxacin in 2 days but why and what caused my E in the first place? Theory: Maybe my scrotum skin was weak during sex and it got infected during the sex process, but not by any STD.
Avatar n tn Based on your symptoms alone this sounds more like dental infection, cellulitis (infection under the skin), lymphedema (due to faulty lymph channel), sinusitis affecting the maxillary sinus in the cheek bone, or a deep seated cyst. It can also be an ear infection or maybe even shingles. You need to consult an ENT specialist and may need X-ray of the sinuses or even CT scan. Also, please get a dental examination as well. Take care!
Avatar f tn I have had sinusitis for one month (out of work) and have been on antibiotics, netipot, steroid spray from ENT which did not help at all.. . Last week, through a throat culture from my G.P., I came up positive for strep. I am currently taking sulfamthoxazole-tmp (am allergic to penicillan) for ten days and seem to be doing better.
Avatar m tn i have this some sort of colds for about 2 months now and now sometimes i feel weak and fatigue, i have this cold mucus that doesnt come out and i feel sometimes stumbling or out of balance, and some dizziness and nausea.. is this sinusitis infection or ear infection.i have no fever...
Avatar f tn Do you still have any of these symptoms? Sounds like a bit of bronchitis after having a virus. It takes a couple of months to go away unless you get antibiotics. Could be sinusitis or could have been. It usually resolves on its own. Humidifier helps. Sounds like a bacteria not yeast on the tongue. It is normal to get a lot of this. You can just keep scraping it away. I get it several times a day.
Avatar n tn Can sinusitis cause vision focus and vision being blurry? One eye is very senstive to light. Does drinking vinegar in water help fight infection. I have been on zertec d and antibotic.
