Zithromax strep throat
Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax strep throat
zithromax
Z-packs (azithromycin = Zithromax) have worked quite well for my daughter's strep infections.
Z-pac is usually a five day course of antibiotic that lasts for ten days. I would recommend that if you are not feeling better by day five that you go ahead and call the dr's office and see what they recommend. You definitely want the infection to be gone by the time your antibiotic stops working. Some people take a steroid to help with the inflamation in the throat.
Burning chest and at times burning throat or dry throat. Feels like I been screaming. I feel pressure around my jaws. I went back to my original doctor and he gave me Augmentin (antibiotics). He said one of my tonsils are a little swollen. And that the lymph nodes under my jaw are slightly enlarged, but not much. I told the doctor its been 2 months but he does not seem worried.
Week 8: I became obsessed with my lymph nodes and started pressing them under my chin. Now one feels inflamed.
Hi
I would like to understand from other users, what is a normal response time for a strep sore throat to heal. Had a progressively worsening sore throat for 3 days, rapid test positive for strep. Started Zithromax 500mg per day for 5 days due to penicillin allergy. Now starting my 3rd day of treatment with no change in pain status. Have gargled every few hours with salt or apple cider vinegar; no relief. Should I become worried?
I've had strep before... believe me, if you had it, you wouldn't question if it were strep =) Strep usually gives you the white spots, so while it MAY be that, it's probably not. I suspect a lingering illness based on you being a smoker and recently having a sinus infection. Mucus can drip from your sinuses to your throat and cause all sorts of fun inflammation, and smoking would just irritate your throat further.
I had a bad sore throat about 9 days ago and the doctor prescribed zithromax to treat it (not strep-throat). So I began taking the antibiotics. On day 3 I saw my doctor about the urethra discomfort. I tested negative for chlamydia and he diagnosed me with NGU. So on day four, I took 2 doses of 500mg of Zithromax within ~8 hours apart. However, he prescribed taking 1g in 1 dose. It is about 30 hours after taking the first 500mg and I still have slight discomfort.
Hi, I'm really worried about an STD like herpies. Though I do have some very small unnoticeable bumps on my upper and lower lips and a bit on the upper part of my chin. I noticed them because they itched a little. I asked my boyfriend if there was something he wasn't telling me, and he answered that he doesn't have anything. Also My throat hurts a little bit, and my lower back occasionally.
He doesnt get Strep or Tonsilitis. Because he is allergic to Penicillan and Zithromax isnt very effective for any infection he gets (including ear or respiratory which he very rarely gets) the doc usually gives him Omnicef which works but wreaks havoc on his tummy. (unfortunately he cant tolerate Ceftbutin or Cefzil at all, which causes him to vomit) I dont understand why he keeps getting these infections.
She took me off amox ond put me on zithromax for 3 days 1x per day 500mg. After 3 days my throat was still sore so I continued the rest of the amoxicillin for 5 days. 11 days after the encounter I had a hiv rlna test which was negative. 19 days after the encounter I saw my primary care dr. because my throat was still sore. I explained everything to him and he gave me a shot of rosifrin and doxycycline 2x a day for 7 days. Im on day 3 now.
Almost exactly a month ago, I had unprotected oral with a girl I met (one night stand). We both performed on each other, followed by protected vaginal sex. She had good hygiene, but I do not know whether she was truly clean or not. Within a couple of days, I had a very sore throat, along with fever and headache, and swollen lymph nodes on my neck. After a pretty solid week of feeling crappy, I finally went to the doctor... He didn't think it was strep, but gave me Zithromax to knock it out.
d like to start saying I had Strep Throat pretty bad about 2 weeks ago, and then ALL of these issues came up RIGHT after the strep throat was treated. I used Zithromax 250mg for 5 days to treat the strep throat and it went away. Then all h*ll broke loose!!! I have been constipated for days upon days. My stomach is hard, I feel full/bloated with no apetite, and I CANNOT for the LIFE of me get anything to start moving.
Welcome to the STD forum. You undoubtedly mean HSV (herpes simplex virus), not HPV (human papillomavirus).
Oral infections with HSV-2 are quite rare. Most likely your commercial partner doesn't have genital herpes (most CSWs don't have it); and if she did, the odds are small that she was shedding the virus; even then, the mouth and throat are not highly susceptible to HSV-2; and finally your symptoms don't sound like a new HSV oral infection.
He subscribed me 2 x 500mg tablets of Zithromax, which I took straight away. The sore throat disappeared by the end of the day surprisingly. however about 10 days later I started to get this feeling of swelling/pain around my neck area, which lasted nearly a couple of weeks. I can't confirm whether they were swollen lymph nodes; I didn't notice them swelling, they just felt painful/numb. I don't recall any major fevers, though I did sometimes have that feeling of being just sick.
About two days after the first incident I came up with a severe sore throat which kind of felt like strep. I gave it about 3 days and then saw a doctor when it didn't get any better. He did not do a strep test but prescribed zithromax and prednisone for 5 days and that seemed to do the trick and my throat felt much better and everything seemed to be fine.
She did not bother to take a culture for strep or herpes. She just prescribed the zithromax antibiotics and famvir and told me if the famvir doesn't help then she will recommend a throat specialist for them to take a look at. When I had done the Std testing I was tested for hiv, herpes 1&2, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphillis.
I performed oral sex on a male (a stranger) on Thursday (today is Tuesday). Shortly after the or sex I developed a sore throat with swollen tonsils and my tonsils also got white spots on them. I thought it must be from the oral sex.
They received flu shots earlier this year, and no signs of strep throat seem visually present. I personally suspect a cold. If it is in fact viral, the doctor wants to use azithromycin now to prevent possible respiratory infection or bronchitis.
I have found a substantial amount of literature online that discusses how using azithromycin with QT prolonging drugs or other rhythm regulators can increase the QT interval and cause dysrhythmia.
I know strep and allergies are definitely two different things, but it could be that if he has an allergy issue, his nasal passages and throat get irritated from that and then an infection occurs - the strep throat. This past winter I, myself, got strep throat twice and pneumonia once - the first bout of strep actually landed me in the hospital for 4 days.
As far as the concerns go regarding strep throat....Consider your drinking water a source. We were on well water and were informed that the constant strep throat infection my kids had could be coming from the water they were drinking. Strep can be passed through water. Ever since we have been on bottled water we have been in the clear.

It's highly likely you're going to get strep throat. The incubation period for streptococci is 2-5 days so you should be feeling something around now.
