Doctor Visit Update for those interested

Rainbows and Roses — Sat, 22 Mar 2014 02:16:41 GMT

I saw the ENT today and he said it was not staph.....and said it could be so and so and so and so and I thought I need my note book..........normally he knows I have to have things written down but it was getting late and I thought I might could remember.........so he took an instrument and blew something cool inside both nostrils and he said it would help with swelling............I am having trouble on both sides.......I did not realize that.......so he wrote these prescriptions for me................SMZ/TMP DS 800/160 tablet to take twice a day and then for the inside of both sides he wrote for me Mupirocin Ointment.

So..........I go back in two weeks. I am believing that it will be better.........thank you for your time and all that wished me well. Happy Weekend to all and be safe in your travels and ladies watch those steps and handbags.

From what you've said it sounds like a sinus infection? Bactoban( Mupirocin) is usually for a staph infection so I'm curious as to why he said it's not?

Hope you feel better.

Thank you sweet ladies and I don't know how he can look at the inside of my nose and think it is not Staph without taking a sample or something..........this is one of the doctors I went to when I was diagnosed with something that I am not ready to talk about now.......or when I first made a statement about it.......I am praying for healing and believing for healing and when I am healed I will let those interested know what I was told was not curable.........there is power in prayer......anyway I wish I knew what he sprayed in my nose???

I am going online and read about these medications. Did I saw I go back in two weeks for a checkup? Blessings to all of you.

"...anyway I wish I knew what he sprayed in my nose???"

From your description, it sounds like a nasal decongestant. It allows him to get a better look at things and opens up your nasal passages and sinuses.

The tablet is the generic name for Bactrim, an antibiotic for bacterial infection.

R and R, it was good to hear from you. I was hoping we would after you saw the dr.

I know what you mean about taking notes while with the dr. Keep a small note book/pad in your purse for such occasions.

Thank you I Love Celery and FunLoving..........you are all just precious. I am going to leave my nose alone and just put in the medicine and wait. I will keep you updated..........when I see the doctor again.........with the other disease I really should not have antibiotics but I have to take these..........Thank you BikerBabe for letting me know what type of medication the tablets are.

R & R - Bactroban (the ointment) is a miracle for skin problems like rashes, eczema, bites, etc.... I wouldn't be without it. I had eczema so bad on my eyelids that the skin was bleeding and Bactroban cured it overnight.

I hope you were told that Bactrim is a sulphur drug, just in case you have any allergies.......Some people can't tolerate it (or Septra)..... If not, I'm sure it will take care of your problem.

Hope all works in your favor.

Hello Sophiamarie........he did tell me it was a sulfur drug but the pharmacy did not tell me anything.....they did not even ask me questions......I am going to Sam's Club now for my prescriptions or at least some of them........so a sulphur drug could cause a yeast infection and if it does I have the medicine on hand............thank you for letting me know. Do you know how long it takes to get a yeast infection from medicine after you stop taking it? Thank you again.

I forgot to add that in December 2 I got very sick and had three different antibiotics and then finally a steroid shot and then an antibiotic shot and B12 shot and finally I got better....so I hope this antibiotic works since I was on so many others in December and January.

Hello bigsister......thank you so much. I wish I could remember but I will be going back in 2 weeks.......I guess I could call and the lady could tell me what he wrote down.....I can't believe I forgot to take notes.

R&R...Glad all went well with your doctor appointment. Just take the medication he prescribed and rest. Try not to even think about it, healing comes faster when you take your mind off the problem and just let the meds do their job. Happy weekend..
