Yep. I hate biaxin. It gives me terrible thrush - a yeast infection of the tongue. Eat a lot of yogurt with acidophilus and live cultures or take some acidophilus to help. Avoid sugars. FYI, I always refuse biaxin when a doc tries to prescribe it to me for that very reason.

There's another type of antibiotic that I like a lot for sinus infections - the fluoroquinolones like Avelox - they are mostly for those of us who've had to take a LOT of antibiotics and for whom Z-packs and others don't work anymore. I love them; they can have a lot of side effects but the only one I've had is that I get a metallic taste in my m outh.

Avelox is extremely dangerous. I took it and ended up with nerve damage, vasculitis, tendinopathy, GI issues, and other problems. I lost 30 pounds in one month and had to go to physical therapy for 4 months to recover. I racked up 30k in medical bills thanks to this medication (insurance covered it).

Floroquinolones are chemo-therapy, not antibiotics, and their side-effects can be fatal.
