Avatar f tn Is there anything I can do for a bad sore throat . I went to my gyn I had a uti he gave me meds macrobid and said it will also help my throat . But I don't see how plus I don't feel comfortable taking meds while I'm pregnant Is there anything I can do without meds ?for UTI and Sore Throat if not did anybody take MACROBID while pregnant ?
Avatar n tn I saw a different doctor a few weeks later and this time in the doctors office it showed WBC so he put me on Macrobid and it made me feel better for like 2 days then not so much. When it was sent out it again came back group b. He put me on amox again for 10 days and then to come back in for another test. It showed no WBC at the office. When sent out it came back with some real low counts of bacteria I guess. He said it would read as a negative? But I still had the symptoms I always had.

Avatar f tn Hi wondering if anyone can help me please. A month ago I started to have cramping pain in lower abdomen and frequent urination . My doctor put me on macrobid but that didn't help . Then put me on cipro which didn't help either . The pain would come and go with lower back pain as well and getting up to urinate and bladder pressure all the time . After that my urine culture came back positive with group b strep . I'm not pregnant . My doctor gave me 7 days of penicillin .
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 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 f tn It burns when you pee, you get the urge to pee a lot and only a few drops come out. I've had a ton of them.
Avatar n tn My brother and mom had a sore throat for a while and it went away, a little over a month ago i caught it, too. It started out as a sore, internal pain on one side of my throat when i swallowed. That went away in a week or two, since then, it has been switching between being dry or having a lot of mucus (not creamy, green, or infected-looking mucus). I like exercising, but the dryness is causing me to have trouble breathing. The doctor told my brother that it was not mono and not strep.
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.
1108194 tn?1378424522 I have had a 'moving' headache for a week. I had strep throat. Nothing seems to touch it. Any help? I am miserable!
Avatar n tn t comprehend any doctor treating you for strep throat if they have not tested you for it. If the diagnoses has been confirmed and you are not responding to the antibiotics you mights need something stronger. You should call your doctor's office and let them know how you are feeling. They would be able to call something else in for you or might want to do other tests to confirm what may be the problem. There are very resistant strains of Strep out there.

Avatar f tn //www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/sore-throat-cold-strep-throat-tonsillitis#1. I also agree that certain antibiotics treat certain things and not all give good coverage over all bacteria. 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 n tn A throat swab can help to diagnose a streptococcal infection. Repeated strep throat infections can be an indication for tonsillectomy, as the tonsils can harbor the bacteria. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
666089 tn?1260520261 I took macrobid almost every month that I was pregnant with my first son! It worked well when I could keep it down. There was no side effects except turning your pee an orangish color!
Avatar n tn I know strep and allergies are definitely two different things, but it could be that if he has an allergy issue, his nasal passages and throat get irritated from that and then an infection occurs - the strep throat. This past winter I, myself, got strep throat twice and pneumonia once - the first bout of strep actually landed me in the hospital for 4 days.
Avatar m tn 2 doctors told me I had strep.. second one tested for strep came back positive.. could 2 doctors be wrong about this? Thanks !!
Avatar f tn s this pregnancy, therefore I have been put on macrobid for the remaining of my pregnancy. I have to take 1 every night until I deliver. Started @32 weeks am now 35+5. No problems from it yet. I haven't had any syptoms of uti so I would never known if it weren't for the urine soles at Dr. Office.

Purple, black blood blisters were all over her throat. She couldn't eat for 4 or 5 days without having to endure a lot of pain. She had to miss a few extra days of work just because of her throat. Her throat is just now almost healed completely. Still a lil purple.
Avatar f tn Alternative, if you have symptoms of frequency, urgency, and pain with urination, you can be treated with a standard antibiotic like bactrim or macrobid for 3-5 days, and see if the symptoms clear up. Dr.
Avatar f tn If you had strep throat or another type of strep you wouldn't have sneezing and runny nose. Some viruses start with a sore throat then change into the other symptoms. Hopefully they will go away soon. If not or if they get worse see your doctor.
Avatar n tn As far as the concerns go regarding strep throat....Consider your drinking water a source. We were on well water and were informed that the constant strep throat infection my kids had could be coming from the water they were drinking. Strep can be passed through water. Ever since we have been on bottled water we have been in the clear. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/283902'>recurring strep throat in our family</a>.
1310633 tn?1430224091 I have strep, they kiss me, the virus is now on their lips, they kiss my wife and pass it along to her) Sorry is this is a fundamentally stupid question... it's just never come up before, as neither my wife nor I have ever had strep-throat.
Avatar f tn Did the doctor do a throat culture for strep? A quick swab to the back of the throat for a rapid strep test could give you the answer to your discomfort. Whatever is causing your discomfort, it does not sound like it is going to go away on its own. You are going to need the treatment of a doctor. Sorry not the answer you wanted.
Avatar m tn It's highly likely you're going to get strep throat. The incubation period for streptococci is 2-5 days so you should be feeling something around now.
Avatar m tn I was worried about catching something in my mouth so i received a throat culture to test for gonorrhea and herpes and both came back negative (6 days post exposure). I am worried bc i felt like the doc barely scraped my throat when getting a sample. Is that common? About two weeks after exposure I got a full panel of early detection std tests done thru urine and blood and all came back negative.
