Question 1

dr prescribed 1000mg of amoxcillian q12 hrs for strep & uri, it has given me a yeast infection what's the best otc antifungal to treat secondary infec?

Accepted Answer

Good choices: There are plenty of available otc choices when it comes to yeast infection treatments for women.  Many patients have had success with the Monistat 1 (tioconazole) due to its short duration of therapy which increases compliance.

Question 2

what are strep infections?

Accepted Answer

Strep infections.: Strep infections are caused by streptococcus which is a gram-positive bacteria. The type of  strep infection that is often encountered can effect the throat. Sxs of strep throat can include: pain of throat; large, red tonsils with white exudates; small red dots on roof of the mouth; swollen lymph nodes on neck; fever, headache, rash, difficulty swallowing, fatigue or rash.  Take care.

Question 3

are there stages to a strep infection?

Accepted Answer

Not really: There are not specific stages to a strep infection.  Common symptoms of strep throat include throat pain, fever, body aches, headache, pain with swallowing, and swollen glands.  If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should go to your pcp for a rapid strep test.  There are also many viral infections that can cause similar symptoms, but strep throat should be ruled out by a provider.

Question 4

can step carrier give you strep infection ?

Accepted Answer

It is possible.: Somebody with Streptococcus with no symptoms may be able to pass it to you and it may cause symptoms for the next person. That is because our immune abilities vary.

Question 5

what can trigger an infection in a strep a carrier?

Accepted Answer

Low immune status: Any thing that stresses your immune status: lack of sleep, another infection or disease state, alcohol or drugs, stress, etc.

Question 6

are strep b infections and bladder infections connected?

Accepted Answer

Not commonly.: Your overall resistance to other binfections e.g. Bladder infections can be reduced if you have a strp infection elsewhere. Strp bladder infections are very uncommon unless you self catheterize intermittently or have an indwelling catheter.

Question 7

help! could strep infection cause sciatica?

Accepted Answer

Generally no: Usually sciatica occurs from a structural pinch. In the unlikely event that pus has passed from throat to blood to epidural space, sciatica could occur.

Question 8

can strep infection settle in your lower back?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: Strep infection can lead to kidney disease and may be associated with lower back pain.

Question 9

is it possible to get some kind of strep infection from my boyfriend performing oral sex on me when he had it? i am a woman

Accepted Answer

Low risk: The kind of streptococcus bacteria that infect the throat (like group A strep) rarely take hold in the female genital tract, but could cause pubic area skin infection. You should be on the lookout for soreness or irritation, most likely in the pubic area more than the vulva, labia, etc. If you get such symptoms within a few days, see a doctor. If no symptoms, I wouldn&#x27;t worry about it.

Question 10

what is a strep yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm?: I have not heard that term before.  If i had to guess it would be due to someone taking antibiotics for a strep infection. This could then be followed by overgrowth of yeast as certain bacteria are killed off or reduced in #.
