Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax eye infection

zithromax

Avatar m tn Yesterday I picked my daughter up from nursery and noticed that she had an eye infection - red eye with watery discharge. Took her to the doctor where they diagnosed conjunctivitus and prescribed her an antibiotic eye ointment. My concern is that although I'm normally very good with hand hygiene I may still have managed to spread the chlamydia bacteria to her eye causing this infection. My doctor says it's unlikely.

Avatar m tn , I have had unprotected sex with a girlfriend and after three weeks i experienced a cloudy discharge from my penis and also a tingling sensation which I suspect as a chlamydial infection or NGU. I took 1g of zithromax and also took 5days of doxycycline 100mg. bid. After the medication my symptoms disappeared. After a few days however my testicles ached after i drank a large amount of liqour. I took another zithromax dosage and this time 1g on the first day and 500mg for another two days.

Avatar f tn 4 days later My wife and I took 1g of zithro each and now it is 7 days after the zithro and I have pink eye but my burning pee is gone and no urethra pain. I also got tested 4 days after the zithro for chlamydia/gonorrhea and both came back negative. The pinkeye started 3 days ago which was 4 days into the Zithromax. I never hat a cut like embrasion on my penis so I'm not worried about herpes but I would like to know if I can have sex without giving anything to anyone?
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 m tn I was treated with cipro, with no results and then went to the ER and was given a shot of rocephin, a 1000 mg of Zithromax and prescribed doxycycline. The discharge went away, and the lymph swelling in my left armpit, left elbow and behind my left knee went down by about 1/3, but stayed swollen and irritated for over a year. I had unprotected sex after that with only one woman for a few months, but I always pulled out and never ejaculated in her.
Avatar m tn I have been given 2 x 500 mg capsules for my chlamydia infection but as i don't like taking tablets I'v opened the capsules and poured the contents into a cup of tea with 1 Teaspoon full of sugar. To make sure i have consumed the full dose i made another cup of tea in the same cup and consumed it again. Two weeks later my older brother has told me the heat would of rendered the anti-biotic useless and that i still would have chlamydia.
Avatar m tn Do a search for chronic urethral discharge, redness of eyes and you will likely get Reiter's Syndrome, which can be caused by chlamydia. I have similar issues to what you are describing. Zithromax and Rocepin have gotten rid of the 'pink eye' as you are calling it, for the most part. My urethral discharge goes away for a couple or three days and then returns. I have a lot of shooting pains in my joints, which also is a symptom. Doxy does not help me with this at all.
Avatar f tn I was given zithromax pills to cure an infection, the pills were to big for me to swallow so I let them dissolve in a little water, then drunk them. Will they have the same effect even though I did not swallow them whole????
Avatar f tn zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar f tn After the test I was told that I had an infection in my urethra and the zithromax would cure it, but these symptoms are back again, I read that sometimes a singlr dose of zithromax sometimes isn't enough to cure a uretha infection and a longer course of anti-biotics may be required, it his true?
Avatar n tn I have two failed implants due to infection which did not respond to Clindamycin. I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I received zithromax (azithromycin) for 5 days. (500 mg the first day and 250 mg day 2-5). The symptoms have improved, for example I no longer have the morning discharge that I had before and the stains in my underwear have almost disappeared. It is now 5 days since I took the last dose of zithromax. I still have some mucus strings and mucus debris in my urine. I did not have this before the STD so I know it is not normal for me.
1580703 tn?1651904887 You should not be taking zithromax for six weeks. Antibiotics are toxic, and should not be used unless there is an actual infection. Prescribing zithromax for six weeks, withiout evidence of an actualo bacterial infection, on the remote chance it might cure asthma represents questionable reasoning. There was a recent death from excessive use of zithromax. There is a reason they are prescribed in a packet with only so many capsules.
Avatar n tn I visited a STD clinic was treated with 1gm of Zithromax,was tested for CHlamidia, Gonorrea, syph, HIV- all negative. The irritation cleared up in 3 days. 3 weeks later the irritation started again. I visited my family doctor, he put me on Cipro which did nothing. I visited the STD clinic again, got tested for everything again, and came out negative. They gave me 1gm of zithromax which cleared everything up after a few days- but the irritation came back after 2.5 weeks.
Avatar f tn ever since I took zithromax a month ago, I haven't felt well. Upset stomach, loose stool,etc.. I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and I am prone to chest pains, etc. Have had many tests and they say there is nothing wrong with my heart. However, ever since I took the meds, I have been having back, shoulder, arm, stomach and chest discomfort. The pain travels and is short lived, and sometimes it gets worse when sitting.
Avatar f tn Last weekend he was coughing violently and was put on zithromax thinking it was a sinus infection. However, how his cough, while subsided, sounds horrible. I heard a commercial for pertussis and that's how his cough sounds! Would whooping cough make him not want to eat? He takes two bites of something and that's it. No fever, very active, some diarrhea, and this 'cough'. Also, would the zithromax take care of it if it was whooping cough?
Avatar f tn Hi I am currently three days on Zithromax (treating chlamydia) and I have a light sometimes darker Orange discharge with strings of blood in them when I wipe. The consistency is stretchy and I’m pretty worried. Me and my partner (also taken Zithromax one day oral medicine) haven’t had sex since our treatment (same day), as told to wait seven days. Could it be the antibiotics fighting the infection?
Avatar n tn I was tested positive with clhamydia so I got prescribed a single dose of Zithromax (you take 4 pills all in once), i took them last tuesday and now it's wednesday, been 8 days and I still have discharge... How long can it take to Zithromax to cure chlamydia?
Avatar m tn I was taking zithromax 500mg per day for 14 days to treat mycoplasma infection. On 11th day, I have noticed that my urine output has decreased considerably and the flow is also slow. No matter how much I drink, the output is always low. Till the 10th day my urine flow was quite strong and high output. I'm also feeling abit lightheaded. I'm on my 13th day today and took zithromax today morning. PLEASE HELP!
3180166 tn?1344481813 I think its a throat infection, and thats what my mediocre doctor told me. (known to misdiagnose) I spit out a bit of gunk ALOT , and its just irritating, it doesn't really hurt when i swallow much, and i dont have fevers, but i do feel dizzy ALL the time and i feel nauseous and my stomach tends to tense up. I thought i was pregnant! i was so excited and i had a negative result. In my country they dont do cultures, they dont make sure they have the right diagnosis, they just want your money.
Avatar m tn 1) Would 5 days of doxycycline and on day 6 the 1.5 g zithromax cure chlamydia if present? 2) I used zithromax back in july for an ear infections. Would this build up resistance against chlamydia due to overuse of zithromax?
Avatar f tn I tested positive for chlamydia 3 weeks ago and negative for everything else including HIV (test at 7 weeks). I was given Zithromax 1g, which i have previously had before for a single other STD infection a few years ago (also chlamydia). The symptoms of the chlamydia seemed to disappear completely after one week. However at the end of the 2nd week after treatment i began to get symptoms again.
Avatar m tn Within a week the irritation urinating got seriously worse and I developed a terrible eye infection. My tests for chlamydia/gonorrhea came back negative and the nurse said it could be a urinary tract infection. A week after treatment the discharge is clear but heavy now and urinating is very painful. I have lots of swelling and redness at the opening of my urethra. I went to urgent care last week to get treatment for a UTI and was prescribed cipro (500mg x 2/day x 10days).
