1738039 tn?1310732266 She is on 1/4 tab of Prednisone (5mg) and on Clavamox for 8 days and will be starting Zeniquin 25 mg 1/4 tab daily. I wish i could show you a pic of her skin it looks horrible. It started at 4 months old and she is now 14 months old. The vet said she has pemphigus fol autoimmune disease. But could have hypothyroidism or something else. She gained 14 oz she is 3.13 chihuahua.
Avatar f tn s what you took? Antibiotics would be a typical choice. You mention a yeast infection in another post, and yeast infections are common with antibiotics. Prednisone is used for internal swelling, allergic reactions, arthritis, those types of things. It heads off inflammation.
Avatar f tn I am in the waiting process for blood work, having had my Armour changed from 135 mg to 120 to 90 and to 75 and still not feeling the best. Some heart palpitations, but not as often as with the higher dosage, but not feeling myself that much. Anyway, I think I may have a sinus infection - lots of sinus drainage and feeling really down. But with the thyroid problem, it is hard to tell what is from what these days.
Avatar f tn Ask about short term prednisone treatment. You obviously have some inflammation.
Avatar n tn I've been battling molluscum and have nasty eczema and a bit of a secondary infection from picking the bumps. Dr. prescribed me prednisone and ciproflox. I'm sooo itchy all over but i don't want to take prednisone if it's going to make the molluscum worse. Is the prednisone a bad idea?
Avatar f tn Prednisone is NOT an antibiotic, you can't just go giving any medication without even knowing what you are treating....prednisone use in cats often leads to diabetes. Please describe what's wrong and I will try and help with some suggestions, I know yr only trying to help them but inappropriate use of meds can be fatal...
20793681 tn?1556071128 Then I followed up with my regular doctor who put me on more antibiotics and prednisone of 40mg and then to taper down. I then came down with a second cold/virus while I still had the first one so my doctor gave me the shot of antibiotic that lasts for 24 hours two days in a row and then gave me another antibiot and more prednisone. I was on that prednisone for about 3-4 weeks.
Avatar f tn I took my daughter to the er for strepthroat and when the doctor was nearly done with her I told him my throat had been a little sore he looked and said its a little red but I had no other symptoms but was going to treat me as if I had it as well we both rec predisnol and 2 antibiotics and a presc for the z pac. We both left d hosp got mmeds and took the 2.
Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn ve been getting bacteria in my throat from my fan. And for some reason the antibiotics they give me only cures a portion of it. I'm afraid this will do the same thing. It makes sense not to take the prednisone if there's no swelling. I guess once the clindamycin finishes then I guess I'll see what they'll prescribe me with. Maybe more antibiotics?
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've had an infection for about 3 weeks now, fever for 2. I'm worried since I already took zpack, amoxicilyn and now am on flagyl and prednisone and it's not clearing up. maybe it could be viral or something else. My nose is really sore and bleeding sometimes and I'm getting clear mucus.
Avatar n tn I went thru 52 days of 4 different antibiotics, 2 rounds of prednisone one in Jan. One in Feb.still blocked. They do crinkle and crackle a lot so my allergist said that is good, cause it means air is trying to go through but not enough to fully pop them. I've tried the steam, pinching the nose and blowing I do a nasal spray also. You say warm salt water garbled will help open them, how many times a day should I do these?
Avatar f tn At the same time, I was also diagnoses with sarcoidosis (which was also causing inflammation in my joints), which the rheumatologist decided to treat with prednisone. I started on 30 mg of prednisone and the next day I saw the breast specialist, who felt that the prednisone i was already prescribed would clear up the GM as well. He admittedly had never seen this before but strongly felt this is all I would need.
Avatar f tn I just want to feel better and like myself again. I am studying abroad currently and I have been missing various activities and travel opportunities due to my constant fatigue, swollen glands, eyes, face, and ear ache- I have been dealing with this for so long, I hope this helps but I don't think the side effects are worth it if they occur.
Avatar f tn I have been on minocycline for two years, but have also been on prednisone, I recently read prednisone will keep antibiotic from working like it should.please, if anyone has gotten any pain relief and is as damaged as I am, please let me know.I am also on a pain patch and pain pills, as well as plaquenil, because I test positive for lupus.I am in Ned most of the time, and am still in horrifying pain! When I do get up and play with my grandkids, I suffer for days from the activity.
Avatar m tn Since she started taking the Prednisone, she as of the last week or so has finished her both her antibiotics and Prednisone medication. She has been feeling hot and she is hungry and not getting good sleep. And she is a person who LOVES to sleep! I find it interesting that she has increased her T4 medication, yet the blood labs which have been rock solid for well over a year suddenly went DOWN.
Avatar f tn It has the disadvantage of raising blood pressure, and very expensive, but it works very well and in some cases can eliminate the need for oral prednisone and all other medications. The manufacturer has a special till December and will give a months free supply to any physician making a request.
Avatar f tn I took one cipro 500 pill and then decided I needed to see my doctor. I took that at 5PM. My doctor prescribed prednisone and azithromycin. I have checked and seen that there are interactions in taking these drugs together. How long until the cipro 500 is out of my system so I can begin the other antibiotics and prednizone? Thank you.
Avatar f tn It might be good to know that I am cyclopsorine, zantac, xyzal, accoluate, and now prednisone for 1 month? Anyone have any ideas or thought?? please help?
Avatar f tn ve been off the prednisone for 11 weeks and my diarrhea and vomiting are back. I have seen 7 dr,s ( I don't capitilize dr's, because the 7 I've seen are'nt worthy of that respect!) Can anyone help me? I would sure appriciate any input. Thank you in advance and I hope good health for you!!
Avatar f tn Within two days i had hives and breathing problems so d/c the antibiotic, still continued having hives and breathing problems - allergist said it was a reaction to Prednisone. We did a VERY fast taper on Prednisone (40 mg -4 days) the fifth day I ballooned particularly the face and knee. A week later Went in for my maintenance dose allergy shot and had a systemic reaction to it immediately ( first time).
Avatar m tn My symptoms start with front and post nasal drip which is a reddish color, and sinus pressure. Later I have upper chest infection, wheezing, and when the buildup in my chest gets bad enough, major breathing problems (especially when trying to sleep), and spasmodic coughing to the point of unconsciousness at times. I lost my job and my medical coverage and have been taking Prednisone, 15mg per day, as a stop gap.
Avatar m tn Hello, So I went to the doctor cause I thought I was getting pneumonia and the Doc had me do a PFT (which was low at 70 percent) and a blood O2 test (94 percent) and said that I had bronchitis and put me on some prednisone and a z-pack. After I finshed my meds I still felt the same. So I set up another appointment and right before I went in I started to feel better but my tests only showed I improved ten percent.
Avatar n tn t know if it was a virus intially--it felt that way--scratchy throat, tender glands, ears plugged. That all persists, after two courses of antibiotics and prednisone. I am also nebulizing with albuterol every 4-6 hours. The bronchitis seems to have resolved, but when I venture outside my home even briefly, I get horrible attacks of coughing & nasal mucous. I feel trapped!
Avatar f tn They detected bacteria in stool and she had a low platelet count (104). They sent us home with a couple of antibiotics and prednisone. Next day she ate finally (prescription I/D). Next day she had almost a normal bowel movement. But then acted strange, wanted to hide in closets. Discovered she threw up her food from the day before (undigested) and then she threw up several different places in the house. The rest were liquid, one was red in color but then clear after that.
Avatar m tn Thus, irrespective of dosage and duration, your childhood treatment with prednisone and antibiotics will in no way hinder your ability to produce antibodies had you acquired HIV now as an adult. Your test results are accurate. Other than for persons who have recently taken anti-HIV therapy in efforts to prevent infection and PERHAPS profoundly immunosuppressed persons such as those taking cancer therapy, "late seroconversion" is about as close to an urban myth for you as it gets.
Avatar m tn ON JUNE 25,2012 I STARTED C/O OF JOINT PAIN, FEVER,HAIR LOSS AND FATIGUE. I AM FLARING AND BACK ON PREDNISONE. I AM 67Y/O AND HAVE RA AS WELL. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS 4 YEARS AGO.
