Accepted Answer

Dysurea: get urine analysis and checked for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Question 2

my 7yrs old has  scarlet fever and the doctor gave her zithromax..she has finished all her medication, but still has a rash, headache, and fever?

Accepted Answer

Strep test?: Was a strep test done?  Sometimes rashes and fevers are caused by viruses, and antibiotics don't work. Sometimes something that looks like scarlet fever can be caused by a  similar germ called staph.  If that's the case, a different antibiotic might be necessary.  Whether the test was done or not, the persistence of symptoms despite antibiotics suggests the need for further investigation.

Question 3

is it safe to take zoloft (sertraline) with four other medications: doxycycline, rifampin, zithromax, and malarone?

Accepted Answer

Avoid unless your: doctor checked an EKG.  Some of these medications in particular can cause prolongation of the QT interval (basically slowing heart conduction) and should be taken with caution under the guidance of your primary care physician.

Question 4

baby 7 months gp diagnosed viral throat infection medication zithromax, rinex+mucospect, adco mefenamic acid. 2 days now baby not feeding milk, only purity , but very minimum , i can't tell if it's throat or teething gums , please advise ?

Accepted Answer

Time to rethink meds: Any infant with a "viral" sore throat does not need an antibiotic and Zithromax can cause gastrointestinal irritation and poor feeding in anyone at any age. I see no reason for any of the other listed meds either with this diagnosis. The problem that will get baby in trouble is dehydration, which will happen if fluid needs aren't met. This may be from the meds.

Question 5

Question 7

is it okay if i take zithromax while on wellbutrin (bupropion)?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine: No drug- drug interactions.

Question 8

what's zithromax used for?

Accepted Answer

Zithromax: The list is very long for this antibiotic. It is, for this simple app, enough to say it covers respiratory illnesses, strep, chlamydia, and whooping cough.  It is a very well used and tolerated antibiotic.

Question 9

could zithromax be crushed?

Accepted Answer

Yes: it can!  Be cautious though, to make sure you actually take ALL of the pieces.

Question 10

Zithromax in kids: Zithromax is a widely used antibiotic in children.  It is generally well tolerated and easy for parents to administer (only once daily for five days).  That being said, it is not appropriate for all infections.
