This could be the infection spread to your guns. Go get some more antibiotics. You also should get a mouth wash that is for canker sores and swollen guns. Good luck.
I was taking cephalexin for a really bad throat and ear infection I had two weeks ago.
Part of the illness included an infection in the throat. The infection was cleared up with antibiotics but i was still very tired for a few weeks.
Could this have been acute infection? Do people ever get sore throat that clear up with antibiotics during the window period? I know that antibiotics don't help viral infections but I wonder if it could have been an opportunistic infection. Is it common to have opportunistic throat infections during the acute phase?
call the dentist and let him/her know you have a sore throat. the antibiotics will not make it worse, may even make it better. I just had my abscessed wisdom tooth pulled 2 weeks ago and was in the middle of taking the antibiotics, hadnt finished them yet. he may give you another rx for them or you may have to see your general practitioner. But definitely call them and give them a heads up!
My 8 year old daughter has a reoccuring throat infection that requires antibiotics. She took 7 or 8 rounds of it last year and again this year seems to be getting it again. I do not want her to build up antibodies or become allergic to it. I know antibiotics are good here and there, but too much isn't good for you and if I can find a way to help her avoid her throat infections, I'd like to eliminate the need for antibiotics.
It could most probably be tonsillitis and a throat infection. Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, scratchiness in the throat, post nasal drip, malaise and loss of appetite are symptoms of tonsillitis. It can be caused by bacteria like streptococcus or it could be a viral infection. Bacterial infections need antibiotics. Consult your primary care physician who will do blood tests and take a throat swab to determine the cause and prescribe appropriate medications.
Ive been living with genital herpes for about two years now, and i recently have an infection in my throat that i think might tie to oral herpes. My symptoms started off as fever, chills, and body aches then my upper throat on the right side became very swollen and soar. im having diffulculties swallowing and its just super soar and painful. My doctor diagnosed me for pharyngitis eventhough i tested negative and the antibiotics arnt working. Could it be a herpes infection?
I went to the emergency dentist yesterday morning BC I was up allll night before with a horrible toothache. Well I guess I have a slight infection in my wisdom tooth and it needs to be extracted asap but he wanted me to take the med first for a few days. Its on my sheet of same meds from my doctor and both dentist and pharmacist said it was fine but I'm so Leary! I guess infection is more harmful. I've never taken it before and intact, having taking any medication since I was about 15..
t complete a prescribed course of antibiotics, the infection if you have one will come back and also be harder to control with antibiotics. I'm guessing your doctor didn't actually think it was an infection, or he wouldn't have put you on such a short course of antibiotics and certainly wouldn't have stopped it mid-course. It's also impossible to choose an appropriate antibiotic if you don't know what infection you have.
Hi, the symptoms described could be due to an infection, most probably streptococcal or a viral infection. Strep sore throat needs to be treated with an antibiotic as strep is a bacteria. Viral sore throat is best treated with rest, warm oral fluids and (OTC) tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for pain.
You may have infected your eye from the throat infection and it might be cleared by the Azithromycin if it is the same organism that is causing the problem. But usually they give you eye drops for an eye infection that have antibiotics in them, so I'm not sure if the oral med will care of the problem. You could also have an allergy, virus in the eye or have accidently got something else in your eye. Try eye drops and if it doesn't clear up in a day or two then see an eye doctor.
hey i really worried and in pain. my wisdom tooth has been bothering me for two days, this pain has lead to my throat and into my ear as well as caused a headache. i went to the dentist and he's told me that i have a infection although the problem is that I'm deathly allergic to penicillin and all five of them that fall under the category of penicillin. So in the end I'm screwed for antibiotics and so far have no way to kill the infection.
That is the same drug as a Z-pak, which is always given as six pills (two the first day).
Just because his bacteria is resistant to methacillin doesn't mean it can't be cured by a Z-Pak. I think his doctor is handling it fine, but be aware this drug continues to treat for a long while after it is started, so I don't know when he will stop being contagious is my only question. They say it is a long half-life.
The second time was in February and I had a sinus infection that clogged my throat, turned my eyes red and gave me an ear ache in my left ear. The third time was in April and I got bit by another bug while I was sleeping and once again it turned into lymphangitis. For the latest round of antibiotics I was outside last week in the middle of the afternoon and I looked down at my legs and there was a big rash going up my shin.
Had protected sex with a sex worker 18 months ago. After sex while removing the condom my finger touched on it. Two weeks later i had a throat infection. The doctor said an inflamation on throat and gave antibiotics. Next week i had stomach upsets and diarhea for two days. The throat infection was not the same like i had before. Something which is itching on the right tonsils and white color and red color spot on the tonsils also appears.
I make them give it to me when I get prescribed antibiotics bc I get yeast infections easy while taking antibiotics
I get it every 2-3 months, and am usually perscribed an antibiotic by a doctor, and begin feeling better within 24-48 hours after treatment. I got it again today [this time it had been exactly 4 months since the last infection] but this time it was directly after getting over a cold that had my throat sore, nose running, and had me coughing. I'm wondering, as I read more and more online, if I would have gotten over all those bouts of tonsilitus without the antibiotcs.
You need a throat swab for culture and sensitivity also endoscopic swab of sinus to rule out sinusitis. You need an appropriate antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs if infection is present. You may also have to get 24hrs gastric PH evaluation, and upper GI endoscopy to rule out acid reflux. Usual treatment consists of a course of proton pump inhibitors against prescription.
