Azithromycin For Bacterial Infections

My husband's vdrl test came up positive with rpr titre 1: 1 and tpha test came as weakly positive. And he has no symptoms. Doctor advised him that it is as good as negative and gave him azithromycin 1000 mg and than followed by doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 15 days. Is it okay or he need to take more treatment.

It's important for your husband to follow the advice of his healthcare provider, as they have access to his complete medical history and can provide personalized recommendations. Positive results for tests like vdrl (venereal disease research laboratory) and tpha (treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) may indicate exposure to syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection. However, it's crucial to interpret these results in the context of the individual's overall health, medical history, and other factors. The treatment your husband is prescribed, a combination of azithromycin and doxycycline, is a common regimen for treating syphilis. The antibiotics work to eliminate the bacteria responsible for the infection. The duration and specific medications may vary based on the stage of the infection and individual factors. If you have concerns about the prescribed treatment or if your husband experiences any side effects, it's essential to communicate with his healthcare provider promptly. Additionally, follow-up testing may be recommended to ensure that the treatment has been effective. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

Hello- its not the soap, but your over masturbation that is causing bend and irritation. Peyronie's disease is characterized by an extreme curving of the erect penis caused by a hard, fibrous layer of scar tissue (plaque) that has developed under the skin. When the penis grows and hardens, the scar tissue pulls the affected area to an angle, causing an unnatural bend. The plaque that is formed by the thickened layers of penile soft tissue is non-cancerous, but this condition can be painful and make sexual intercourse quite difficult. There are a number of factors that can cause peyronie's disease. An injury to the penis caused by vigorous masturbation from a long time or aggressive sexual intercourse or from an accident may cause small tears in the tissue and ruptured blood vessels that bleed internally. Peyronie's disease can be completely cured and reversed by the help of ayurveda treatment, and it does not have any kind of recurrence too. Many potent herbs in ayurveda contain natural growth factors and phyto-molecules that are known to stimulate penile tissue repair and the rejuvenation process.

Mera 7 years old son keeps on clearing his throat. Sometimes coughs also (dry) chest is clear. It seems that there is irritation in throat. There is no pain in throat. Cough syrup didn't benefit. Then azithromycin 250 mg was given for 5 days days. Himalaya septilin syrup is also given but problem didn't go away. A local doctor suggested to give banocide. Can I give banocide?

1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term consult online with details.

I'm 24 years old male, from a few days ome side of my neck is swollen and i'm having pain/ discomfort in swallowing and speaking. today I checked with torch in the mirror I saw white ulcer type scratches on my throat and back side of tongue. I was a daily smoker and have left ciggerete 10 days ago. I've started taking antibiotic azithromycin daily since 2 days back, thinking it might be swollen lymph nodes because of some bacterial infection. But now i'm a little worried about it.

Hi Lybrate user, without wasting further time go to nearest head and neck surgeon/ent surgeon. Get biopsy and imaging done. Do not predict and take medication on your own. The more you delay the more you loose.

I have taken azithromycin recently to treat chlamydia tested by a urine sample. Will that dose also treat anal chlamydia or must I take a second dose of antibiotics to treat that as well? I just got back results for the anal chlamydia test.

Greetings. I've been experiencing penile, rectum and lower abdominal pain for almost two months now. During the period I was first given biotech ciprofloxacin 500 the pain became better during the tablets but gone back to its normal state after the medication is finished. Then I was given ciprogen 500 mg and the same thing happened. Then the last time I was given a single dose of azithromycin together with ciploxx 500 and today is day number 6 from the start of this treatment. The pain is mild but it sometimes becomes severe on the lower abdomen. Can you help me identify the cause and prescribe me some medication which will help.

What r other symptoms that you r experiencing? By doing what like walking, exertion, eating or empty stomach- it increases or decreases in intensity. For how much time the pain remains? Is there stiffness also? How is your appetite? R you constipated? Any problem in urine? I need to know more to be able to make diagnosis. In the meanwhile Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't Overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style 7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water. 10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time Exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, Swimming, gym etc. For more details, you can consult me
