   Amoxicillin, not right for me? (Allergies board)

20th April 2005
Midget,
Amoxicillian doesn't do alot for me either. Ive had my symptoms since November, took amoxicillian at first and it didn't help much, then a month or so later, I was put on prednisone for just a few days, it helped some but again it all came back. So I went to the Dr. yesterday, and had a long talk with her about my symptoms and how long its been going on. SHe prescribed me zithromax 2 x a day for 3 days, and then she wants me to repeat it. Also put me on allegra and flonase. Silly me hasn't started it yet, cause ive had alot to do and i don't know how its going to affect me, so i'm waiting for the weekend. Hopefully this will help, cause the next option is a CT scan to get a look at my sinuses. Hope this helps cause that could mean surgery. Hope the augmentin helps you.

yeah, those resisistent sinus infections can be frustrating. I have had a sinus infection for a couple of months now. Was on biaxin which helped with most of it, but not all. Then doc put me on levaquin which started working but I developed an allergic reaction to it and I can't take it. I also can't take penecilin or amoxycilin or doxycyclin or tetracyclin or c chlor or tetracyclin. I'm not allergic to erthymiacin meaning that it lets me breath, but it does make me projectile vomit so I like to avoid it. Bactrim never works on sinus infections for me. I took zithromax once and it worked well. I think I am supposed to avoid things like cephalosporin too. I don't remember if I am allergic to those or not. Doctor didn't want to put me on anything else right now because it is a mild sinus infection but now that allergy season is here I miss breathing properly. I'll probably either need a CT scan or go see my old allergist. Aren't there any natural ways to kill these things? I'm already doing saline rinses too which sometimes help.
