There are different antibiotics prescribed for treating different types of sexually transmitted diseases (stds). Antibiotics prescribed by health experts include cefixime (suprax), ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin. Cefixime, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin are given orally, while ceftriaxone is administered intramuscularly. It is advised not to take any medicine without your doctor's consultation.

Hello dr, I had a sex with a paid call girl and the condom was used for both vaginal and oral sex but I kiss her on lips and tongue. After 10 days I develop a dry throat with some marks at the back side of throat and I took doxycycline, azithral, cefixime for one week but nothing works and my throat remain dry even after drinking water. Now it's 3.5 weeks. I know I used condoms and the risk is low but I'm worried about that I caught some std. Should I be worried about hiv? What are my risk please assess Dr. It's was a mistake. I'm a student. Full of anxiety and fear about my future. Before developing dry throat I had very little runny nose and sneezing. I had consulted ent Dr. online he said seems like gerd but I did not reveal about my sexual exposure. Dr. please share your expert views and further guidelines.

Hello Lybrate user. The continuous, consistent use of condom, from the beginning and up to the end of the sexual act effectively prevents sti, including hiv if it doesn't tear or slips off. As for risk from oral sex please consult in private avoiding details in open platform, to get proper advice. I would strongly advice you to please avoid any self medication and consult in private in confidence to allay your fears and anxiety. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. I have gone through the details mentioned. The skin infection (boils) can recur if complete eradication doesn't occur. The antibiotics that you have been on may not as effective on staphylococcal infection. Plus there is a need to have a stricter blood glucose control. So please look at these aspects. So there is a need to look at overall diabetes treatment including diet, exercise and drugs being used. At your age hba1c% should be < 6%, fasting glucose should be < 100 mg & pp 150 to 160 mg. Thanks.

My mother aged 85 who is bed bound had 2-3 episodes of hematuria. She was hospitalized and urine sample was collected with the help of a catheter. Her urine routine showed 75-80 pus cells but urine culture and sensitivity test showed no microbial growth. Her usg kub shows that she's having more than 500 cc urine retention. One kidney shows hydronephrosis with dilated ureter. Her abdominal scan shows that her bladder wall is trabeculated with diverticula. She was treated with antibiotics and her urologist prescribed niftas 100 mg 1 tab for 3 months, macpee 25 mg 3 tabs/day for 2 months and veltam 0.4 mg 1 tab for two months. Within 10 days she again had episodes of hematuria which lasted for 2-3 days. Her doc prescribed zifi 200 2 tabs per day for 7 days. After two days of zifi bleeding in urine stopped. Currently she's complaining of lower abdominal pain sometimes and strange discomfort. On checking her spo2 it shows fluctuation and there is increase in pulse rate. Today her pulse jumped to 128 and spo2 dropped to 76 and then normalised to 98. Her pulse rate has never come out to be high and spo2 has never fluctuated this much. Does macpee, veltam cause side effects? If so, whatever my mother is experiencing are the side effects of the meds she's on? She's completed approx 25 days of macpee and veltam and 30 days of niftas 100. Does she require a catheter for urinary retention? We are quite apprehensive in going for the catheter as she may try to pull it out leading to injury. My mother has history of hiatus hernia, oesophageal stricture, oesophageal ulcers, uti, osteoporosis and age-related dementia. She was having hypertension since past sev years but from past one month she is off the antihypertensive as her bp comes out to be normal. please advise. Thanks a lot.

Sorry to hear about how your mother has suffered so much I am here to help however I can. (1) puss cells in urine but no growth on culture could indicate "sterile pyuria" which is common in elderly women. Possible reason for this may also be recent or incomplete antibiotic course. There are also several organisms that could cause uti, they may be present in bladder/urine but do not grow on culture media and they are capable of causing hematuria. (2) there can be several obstructive (obstruction of urine passage) and non-obstructive causes for urinary retention. An obstruction at the vesicoureteral junction (vuj) on one side can cause backpressure leading to dilatation of ureter and hydronephrosis of that side. Neurogenic bladder (not obstructive) can cause the same problems. Both of these conditions can lead to formation of bladder diverticula. Doctors usually do a test called ivp to rule out any blockage to urinary pathway. (3) niftas (nitrofurantoin), macpee (bethanechol) can have side effects like pain abdomen, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, etc. (4) macpee - severe side effects of macpee include tachycardia (fast heart beat), severe abdominal pain & fainting. (5) veltam (tamsulosin) can also cause tachycardia (increased heart rate), arrythmia (irregular heart rate), hypotension (decreased blood pressure), etc. *as far as her abdominal pain/discomfort is concerned - any of the above three medications could be the cause for that. *for decreased spo2 and increased pulse - since she has had niftas, macpee and veltam for over 25 days a sudden reaction to them is unlikely. Now the only remaining medication that could cause this is zifi. (6) zifi (cefixime) - serious reaction to zifi has been reported where it caused dyspnoea / hypoxemia (decreased spo2), taachycardia (increased pulse / heart rate) and hypotension (decreased blood pressure). Usually this starts within hours of the first dose but you need to contact your doctor at the earliest if your mother is facing these problems. (7) yes, she might need a urinary catheter specially if she is confined to her bed mostly - an intermittent catheterization for draining urine could work. (8) along with treatment your mother would need all the emotional/mental support she can get from you and your family. I hope I have answered most of your questions. If you need any more help from me, you can contact me on private chat here at Lybrate. I wish your mother good health and you the strength to get through this.

I am feeling vaginal itching post taking medicine for vaginal allergy that happened due to applications of vaginal gel. It’s itches and pains at times while urinating. I took antibiotics metrogyl and cefixime to treat vaginal inflammation due to candid v gel and fucidin ointment. Please suggest a cure.

Don't apply any gel. Use clingen forte tablet for vaginal use for 3 days. Use v-wash instead of soap and keep the area dry. Don’t wash with water or soap every time you pass urine, instead wipe off with tissue or a towel. Maintain the area dry. Use loose cotton underwear.

Do you have dandruff problem also. Regularly wash your hair with mild shampoo. 1. Vitamin for hair loss.(a, b and c) 2. Enrich diet with protein. 3. Do warm coconut oil massage. Take coconut oil and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage your scalp with this hot oil for a few minutes. 4. Avoid brushing wet hair. 5. Keep yourself hydrated. 6. Put on a shower cap for an hour then shampoo your hair. It helps to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. 7. Avoid hairstyles that pull on the hairline. 8. Ditch hair tools that use high heat. 9. Be wary of chemical processing. 10. Drink water to hydrate your body. U can mix arnica q and jaborandi q equal quantity. Apply on scalp with the help of cotton. Wash hair next day. Do it twice a week homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. You can contact me for a detailed consultation.

1. Take home cooked, fresh light food. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 2. Increasing the fibre in your diet is known to be as effective as injections for preventing further problems 3. Increasing your fluid intake which can help prevent further problems with haemorrhoids 4. Avoiding straining and constipation which is the most useful thing patients can do to prevent the problem coming back. If the fibre content of your diet is not sufficient to keep your stools soft, then a fibre supplement can help. 5. Maintain active life style 6. Curd is good for u. 7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods Homeopathy has very encouraging results. Consult online with details

Can taking antibiotics (oflaxcin200 6 days, metrogyl400 5 days, cefixime- 10 days, pilon tablets for 10 days and still taking pilex tablets by himalaya cause vaginal yeast infection? It's like swollen labia with itching and white discharge? Can it be possible for it to heal on its own. Or should I need treatment. Can I treat it at home? Please s guide me.

All the medicines can be taken together but the question is why do you need them? What is your ailment? Yeast infections will not be caused by the medicines but you will need to take measures to improve your present condition. Maintain good hygiene but that is not enough. If you like please contact me for details.
