Uvula

I have no evidence of a causal link, but have a clear temporal link from the antibiotic to a degradation of the uvula continuing months following. Had also tendonitis generally and slow to recede. Any one else? ## Moxifloxacin is a Fluoroquinolone, and this class of medications is known to carry the risk of causing tendonitis, and tendon rupture as side effects, along with nausea, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Moxifloxacin Information The tendonitis and sore throat side effects might explain the issues you've experienced. However, I must admit to being unsure of exactly what you mean by 'degradation of the uvula', so could you please expound on that? Thank you!

I just had My Tonsils out and Uvula Trimmed. It is a very painful recovery so far. I was given 5mg of ocycodone to take 2 pills every 6 hours. one of my friends gave me 75 4 mg dialaudid. I have been taking 1 4mg every 6 hours sometimes every 4 hours. i found the oxycodone 5mg did not work well so i switched over after the 2nd day.

Can it b used for strep throat and enlarged uvula ## Ampicillin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I’m a teen and my mom gave me pentrexyl ampicillin for my throat since we think it’s infected. We haven’t confirmed with a doctor my throat just looks really red with specks of white that’s what my mom said. I just woke up in the middle of the night though feeling itchyness all over my hands and getting up feeling a bit light headed. Please tell me this is normal I have a big dance performance today and I can’t miss it.

I was born in Chicago in 1978, and my mother had taken Bendectin. Like many other pregnant women during that time, she was handed two prescriptions at her first Obstetrician appointment: Prenatal Vitamins and Bendectin. She had severe morning sickness, so she filled the Bendectin and took it throughout her pregnancy. I was born with a a cleft lip, cleft palate, and now I'm facing knee replacement surgery on both legs (Rightie is going first in two weeks!). Have any other "Bendectin Babies" been plagued with knee and/or joint issues? ## yes affected ## Yes, I also have two uvulas, cleft palate and almost un bearable knee pain and I was born to a mom given bendectin in canada in 78 ## I have been researching bendectin for some time now.
