Loestrin24 & Antibiotics.?
I am on Loestrin24 to regulate my period, ovarian cysts, and acne treatment. I am almost through my first pack (will be Saturday). I was put on Antibiotics last Friday because I have Strep Throat. Ever since I went on antibiotics, my face has been breaking out like crazy. Could this be because the antibiotics have counter-acted the birth control pills? How long after I am off the antibiotics will my birth control become effective again?
How can you tell difference between bacterial/viral sinus infection?
How can you tell the difference? Without going to your doctor, I have had a "sinus infection" or head cold for 7 days now. It is getting better though and I have not been on any antibiotics, but I am still extremely stuffed up (especially my ears) How can you tell the difference if it's bacterial or viral? Thanks.
How long to use back up birth control after antibiotic?
I've been on birth control for over 8 months and recently just had to get on antibiotics (penicillin vk). I continued taking my birth control while on the antibiotics and used a back up method as well. I have had one full week (7 pills) of the 'sugar' pill and finishing my first full regular week this week while being off of the antibiotics. How much longer should I use a back up method of birth control or does it not matter? Thanks!
i have acne problems, and it is depressing me please help me!?
hi, im 16 years old, going through a lot of stress because i have big exams coming up. i exercise regularly and i wash my face 3 times a day and moisturize. I STILL HAVE BAD ACNE! when i say bad, i mean bad. i do realise makeup doesnt help the situation, but i cant leave the house without putting any on.
i have tried everything, antibiotics, vitamin suppliments, a topical treatment called Zynorit or something like that and nothing has worked. my skin used to be perfect until last year and i dont know why i have such bad acne now.
can anyone please tell me the most effective way and FASTEST way to get rid of this acne? ive heard of a "salicylic peel" which is supposed to be very good, and accutane. are these effective? do they have side effects which last for more than a day like redness lasting for a week etc?
THANK YOU SO MUCH..sorry if this was long but I REALLY NEED HELP!! im fed up having bad skin...
thank you :)
How long will a yeast infection take to cure without any special treatment?
I recently had a urinary tract infection, due to unsanitary bathroom conditions at school, and took antibiotics. though the UTI was cured, a yeast infection developed and is now the main source of discomfort. I'm planning on picking up monistat from the store, but I'm also wondering if it is okay to just let it heal naturally... and how that would work and how long. thank you.
What is the best acne treatment? Over the counter, or natural?
I'm 38 years old and still battling acne - ugh. Right around my chin, really no where else on my face. I've been to the dermatologist who prescribed clindamyacin (spelling?) wipes, but after using them for a year, I think the antibiotic contained in them is not working as well. Now I'm breaking out again. Plus, I really don't like to use antibiotics if they really aren't necessary.
What products have you used and what has worked best for you? My main goal is to keep my skin clear and to prevent breakouts, but any advice on what to use after a break out is good too. Any recommendations either over the counter, herbal or home made are most welcome!
Thanks!
How long does it take for an ear infection to heal?
I went to the doctor a few days ago because I had this really annoying click in my ear whenever I swallowed. The doctor checked my ear out and he said I had a build up of wax and some redness in my ear. He gave me a prescription for some antibiotics to clear it up if it starts hurting. It hasnt started hurting yet (and ive had it for about 3-4 weeks) so how long will it take to heal by itself?
How do I strengthen my immune system after I have taken a course of antibiotics?
I just want to know how to get my immune system strong again after I finished a course of antibiotics. By the way, I am also taking probiotics with the antibiotics I am on. So, how do you strengthen the immune system after you are done with a short-term course of antibiotics?
How long should a slight infection take to clear up?
My doctor said its not too bad and I don't need antibiotics, just salt water. How long should it take to clear up and how many times should I clean it?
people who took antibiotics for acne open plz?
im a teenager and ive been suffering with acne for 2 years. at first it was really bad severe acne, and now its i guess what you can call mild acne. its totally ruining my life :( the whole summer i stayed inside because i was so embaressed. most of it is blackheads on my nose, chin, cheeks and forehead. then i think those turn into the whiteheads\pimples. ive tried everything natures cure helped a little, but then stopped. i tried murad and it just made it worse. SO DONT EVEN BOTHER SAYIN PROACTIV! i drink water all the time and take a multi vitamin. im using panoxyl-isnt working, tea tree oil soap-isnt working, clean and clear advantage-isnt working and clean and clear blackhead scrub-isnt working. IM DONE WITH OTC PRODUCTS NONE HELP! so now i want antibiotics because when i get strep and get medicine my acne clears up, but comes back in about a week or so.my point is i want an antibiotic, but NOT ACCUTANE-too harsh
is there any others YOU have used? tell me ALL about them plz :(
i dont want herbal stuff like cucumbers and crap
and NOT the whole "TOOTHPASTE ON A PIMPLE" thing
school starts in a week and i dont want to go :(
