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.
1580703 tn?1651904887 s 600-625 for a few weeks. when I took prednisone and solumedrol I came down with sore throat and a bad infection that didn't respond to antibiotics and lasted 1 month. I am still wheezing several months later. what could have caused this and what can I do to treat it? the doctor seems to say it is due to vocal chord problems. I noticed on 40-50mg of prednisone a day my FVC increased from 70 to 80. thanks so much!
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor 12 days ago was told I had bronchitis and asthma Got z pack and prednisone and prednisone shot. Not any better - now slight cough, headache, congestion, dizzy and flushed and at night wake up all sweaty.
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?
144586 tn?1284666164 The acid destroys the barrier to bacterial infection, and together with the prednisone the patient becomes prone to a sore throat, and infection which may rapidly progress to the lung. Thus, the drill is, when on high-dose oral predisone, avoid esophageal acid erosion. I don't know why this information is not widely known. This is accomplished by: (a) not eating within two hours of sleeping. (b) avoiding foods that contain methylxanthines (chocolate), which relax the sphincter.
Avatar n tn My diagnosis was then bronchitis that turned into pneumonia, double ear infection, sinus infection. So I began another regimen of Amox-Clav 875mg, prednisone, cough syrup with hydrocodone in it, After finishing all of that round of medicines, I felt better but still not back to myself at all. Now after a week+ of being off antibiotics I am as sick as ever!!
Avatar f tn I have a call in there today, she is also shaking her head a lot , and rubbing her ears , they think she may have ear infection, so will find out today, but thankyou for the help.... she does have severe seizures why all the meds, but this seems to be additional, they seem to think it sounds like ears problem...
Avatar f tn I had my first (undiagnosed) episode of POTS that caused me to pass out about six years ago after a course of Prednisone for poison ivy. At the time, it was misdiagnosed as some type of odd reaction to prednisone and my adrenals. I just recently had a second episode And was admitted overnight to the hospital. I passed out at work and then they discovered the heart rate in the 150's. It was officially diagnosed with a suspected onset after a sinus infection.
Avatar n tn As a preventative for an allergic reaction to iodine for a ct scan. After the last pill my breathing is tight, more coughing than usual and wheezing. Could this be caused from the prednisone? How long before it's out of my system?
Avatar f tn are the result of persistant low-grade bacterial infections. These often develop after a viral infection. If you are taking oral prednisone the inhaled version is unnecessary, but won't kill you. Remember that oral prednisone shuts down the immune system and all infections, viral or bacterial, tend to go out of control. Many people develop "twitchy" lungs after a bout with the flu or a bacterial infection.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Antibiotics are for treating bacterial infections. Asthma is not a bacterial infection. Your headaches may be caused by the prednisone.
Avatar m tn My Best Friend was sick with a hacking cough, and within 2 days of her spreading her germs I caught upper respiratory infection. I took antibiotic, and tried taking prednisone and symbicort. I simply cannot deal with side effects. Took some natural stuff too, need to get rid of this awful wheezing. What can I do?
Avatar f tn While looking for a prescription one day I found a bottle of prednisone that was prescribed to my partner for her chest infection. In desperation I started taking the 20mg tablets daily. I was about to give up by the 5th day when all of a sudden my pain started reducing! By the 7th day I was almost pain free! I was getting stuck into the housework and playing on the floor with my son! I was ecstatic! I've now been taking them for about 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn s a godsend of a medication lol. I had a double ear infection, double sinus infection, and stage 1 phumonia(sp), and Zithromax had me cleared up and feeling better withen the same night of taking it. I was also worried to take it at first, so I called almost every pharmacy in town and asked about it, and I got the same answer, which is it's safe, and I even called my doc and double checked with him lmao. Zithromax does cross into the placenta, but not as much as other antibiotics.
Avatar n tn General Practitioner prescribed a course of antibiotics for 10 days and 60mg of prednisone for 5 days(20mg pill every 8 hours), ending last week. Since the rash and/or infection is still not cleared, I saw a dermatologist and I have been prescribed a new course of antibiotics and the Desoximetasone cream, which I am supposed to apply twice a day for two weeks.
403156 tn?1290150018 I am so sorry about your poor dog. Lomustine and prednisone are both a bit immunosuppressive. She may just have a urinary tract infection. UTI's can be brought on by stress, such as being boarded. It may take her a bit longer to get over the infection due to the Lomustine, prednisone and the lymphoma.
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 m tn Im 14, when I went to the doctor, she thinks I might have a ear infection or maybe i heard it wrong. Anyways i feel light headed and my eyes feel weird and i feel unbalanced. I was just curious. The doctor also gave me predisone 50mg to take but it was no use. Any idea of whats going on?
608104 tn?1352587153 Thanking physicians who accept my need for less oral prednisone for asthma exacerbations with respiratory infections. I appreciate the steroid oral inhalers and nasal inhalers as a better way to reduce mental agitation affects on my old brain.
Avatar f tn He did check her throat and chest, said they were clear. She has not been tested for asthma. As for the prednisone, the first time, and this time it's for 4 days each. I think when she finishes the prednisone this time, I will go back to the pseudophedrine. I have vicks rub. Thanks for replying.
2048234 tn?1330814100 hi scaredmom, to put your mind at ease i was prescribed 7 x 25mg a day prednislone for a chest infection for a month. They are not addictive and you do not get any withdrawals from them, short term use. But i think as somebody else said long term use over 6 months you do have to be careful coming off them without telling your doctor like any steroid.
Avatar f tn I've taken Prednisone for 5 days for a sore throat. I finished yesterday, but would like to know is it safe to take my multivitamin pill and vitamin d pill now? I didn't take it along with the prednisone because I wasn't sure if it will interfere. But now that I finished the prednisone, is it safe to take it now?
Avatar m tn s either a bee sting or a wasp sting he gave me .20 mg of prednisone 3 pills for 10 days....why is that? I thought I should get an antibiotic.
Avatar m tn I did a search recently that eluded to Prednisone being capable of regrowing hair IF the cause is from an infection. I know Prednisone can regrow hair if the cause is bacterial or fungal... I don't know if it's capable if it's viral? Q: Can prednisone regrow hair if the cause is an adrenal or thyroid issue?
Avatar f tn My son is 15 and has suffered with asthma since age 5. He has asthmatic bronchitis and allergies. He's been on prednisone for attacks since age 5. He takes allergy shots. He blows 124% on PFTs when he is well, lower when he is sick but still 100+. Dr. said his lung capacity is approx. 120+ percent of normal. This last episode, Dr. found reduced but good lung function as measured by PFT, no sinus infection and says he is moving air.
