Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax for sinusitis

zithromax

Avatar f tn Sinusitis is the swelling and inflammation of the sinuses that may be caused by virus, bacteria, or fungus. Antibiotics are usually not needed for acute sinusitis. It is usually caused by a virus and will resolve in 7 to 14 days. In certain situations your physician may decide that antibiotic therapy is appropriate. When an antibiotic is deemed necessary, Zithromax (azithromycin) is commonly used. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is effective against M pneumonia.
Avatar m tn I took the meds for my sinusitis for 3-4 days and then stopped (exremely silly I know). I felt fine however, a few days later the sinusitis came back with a vengeance. So I started the Levaquin again to finish. This is when all the symptoms started. It seems the sinusitis gave me headaches (harsh), made me feel hot - temperature no more than 99.1 F, and chills. I read the symptoms online and now I'm freaking out. I never had these symptoms before and cannot function. Point blank.
Avatar m tn pulmonary doctor then tells me i have chronic sinusitis on the right side and prescribed antibiotics zithromax for 14 days. withing this time i decided to see a ENT and he was able to view the cat scan of my sinuses and claimed there was no sinusitis, just a deviated septic.

Avatar n tn I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
Avatar m tn based on fact it recurred twice having taken 1g Zithromax but on 3rd attempt of 1g Zithromax it went away for 4years? I.e If it was MG in first instance it appeared to be resistant to first two doses of 1g Zithromax so it would't have gone away on the third dose. 4) Could it be herpes? I have no symptoms. Should I get a type specific HSV test? Would it give a definitive answer for herpes? 5) My regular partner was checked before for Chlym & Gono. Nothing found.
Avatar m tn my wide took amoxcillin 1000 g 2 x times a day for a throat infection. She did this for 8 days. And i took 1g zithromax the same time and we didn't had sex for a week. Oktober: my wife was treated with azithromycine sandoz 1g and 500 mg the next day because she had her wisdom teeth removed. i took doxycycline 100 mg a day for 5 days and also 1,5 g zithromax on day 6. My wufe and i had sex after 7 days that i took the doxy and she the azithromycine. Questions.
Avatar n tn t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.
Avatar f tn This could be a result of the chlamydia, but it may be worth a call to your doctor. How are you taking the zithromax? You should have taken 1000 mgs at one time for it to be effective. It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing? https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/chlamydia.htm - if you need to, show this to your doctor.
Avatar f tn You really should be using a steroid nasal spray for you excessive mucous production for your sinuses. Antibiotics help acute sinusitis infections. I often do saline irrigations of my sinuses, that helps remove the excess mucous that is in the sinuses. Also gets rid of infected material. These irrigations should be done twice a day. I've also noticed that when you have excess lung mucous you will feel it rattling around deep in your lungs before it makes it's way up.
Avatar n tn With no other symptom, it is either an irritant cough due to allergy to something or it is due to postnasal drip if you have sinusitis like problem. Other than that it could be due to a severe gastric reflux. Take a late night snack. Raise head end of bed. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. See if these tips help you. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
Avatar m tn Because I just tried it, and it burns so bad! I have chronic sinusitis for two years with a lot of polyps. No medication helps, except corticosteroids but infection gets back immediately after stopping using them.
Avatar f tn I got tested and was given 1 gram of zithromax and 7 days of levaquin. That was on monday night i was treated and then that saturday morning I had unprotected sex with an uninfected partner. Is it possible I could have infected the partner? They told me the zithromax would wipe it out right away but it seems from reading these forums that that could not be the case. I have been active since iwth the same person and now I feel I might have been infected agian.
Avatar n tn ve been fighting what appears to be a mild cold - sinus congestion and coughing up yellowish mucus, glands slightly swollen and tender under the arms and in the groin, but no fever or diarrhea - for about a week For my own peace of mind should I test for HIV? Would taking the Zithromax for bronchitis as I did address any other potential STDs? Thanks again for your time and service.
Avatar m tn My wife has bi-polar disease and I was going out of my mind. I started looking outside for comfort which was extremely stupid. I was with three escorts in three separate circumstances in a two month's time. Unprotected oral (cuniculus) and protected sex (latex condom). They all did oral on me but with condom. The first one asked me to take a shower first and then afterwards. The other two specified that they did not like fingering from any guy. That was October 26.
