Running a fever symptoms and conditions

My son has epilepsy. Last year I remember him being put on antibiotic and nasonex for his sinus infection, (Sept. 2008) he had 13 tonic clonic seizures in one day!
This year, he has been put on antibiotic and nasonex again (2 sprays in each nostril twice a day) and he had 4 tonic clonic seizures in one day!
I believe it is from the nasonex that his seizures has increased so much. He has been constipated, swallowing like his throat hurts, very swollen sinuses, acts like he is depressed, squints his eyes like he has a headache. The worse thing is he cannot tell me something hurts, he cannot communicate much at all because he is special needs. I can only go by his body language or if he is running a fever. This morning I did not give him the nasonex, I used only saline spray to rinse his sinuses. After reading everyone's side effects I went and threw all the nasonex in the trash!! My son will go to ENT on Monday and the ENT better not tell me to put my son back on nasonex because I will not do it!! I will only be using saline spray from now on on my son's sinuses.

First pill 6/09 - next day started running fever ( I ran fever for 3 days & had chills)& had bad cramps - thought it was appendix - went to dr & he put me on antibiotics - I told him I was on Boniva - he said what I was experiencing were not side effects associated with Boniva. I took 2nd pill 7/09 - bad headache all the next day - started running fever and had terrible cramps. Call my OBGYN who prescribed - She also says these are not side effect of Boniova - why don't the Drs. know about all these problems. NO MORE FOR ME!

About two weeks about I was running a fever and had a horrible cough. After my temperature hit 103f I decided to go to the ER. The doctor told me I have a sinus infection. There they didn't really have much interest in what was wrong with me and decided that a Z-Pak would magically solve all my problems. So the first couple days my fever stopped, I felt a little better. Soon after that I had the WORST stomach pains I've ever had before. They brought me to tears, not to mention the diarrhea was pure water with little fecal matter.. I felt better with a high temperature than going through the side effects of Z-Pak. I also had dime sized amounts of brown colored phlegm that appeared when I coughed. I couldn't taste anything. For 6 straight days I was stuck to the couch or bed. Every time I stood up I got the drunken spins and felt like I was going to black out. It's been about 8 days since I started the Z-Pak and the cough has virtually went away. I still spit up a tiny amount of phelgm. I can eat, which I am ecstatic about since the only liquid things I drank while taking the anti biotic gave me severe diarrhea. The only symptom I have now is diarrhea. Only at least now I don't have to 'go' every 5 minutes or whenever I put anything in my stomach. I think the worst part of being sick was taking the dreaded ZPAK. Everyday I was thinking I could feel well enough to go out and do something only to have to race home to lay down.
CONCLUSION-ZPAK TWO THUMBS DOWN!

ok, i started femcon this past Sunday and i was so excited because it seemed like a really good pill. the first day i felt fine.. second day i was fine but then i had really bad nausea that night (i have acid reflux so this is normal) so i tried to go to sleep but it kept me up. i ran to the bathroom and spit up.. then the next night i did the same thing. i woke up nauseated that next day and had a little sickness but went to school and did not eat anything.. as i sat there i had chills. i started running a fever. and i just wasn't in my right mind, i started getting snappy with my friends. then Thursday and Friday morning (about 15 min ago) i woke up and had diarrhea and vomiting bad. it scared me and my boyfriend so bad he took me to walmart at 12 Thursday night to get a pregnancy test! i don't know when this is going to end but im over it.. i want to stop taking it but i recently found out i have endometriosis and that is why my gyn put me on this pill.. his office is closed until Monday. ugh. should this be happening after just 5 days?

This site has helped me understand that Im not alone on the side effects of the Niaspan ER . My doctor told me to take 500mg to start and I did the first night I was fine for about 2 hours then the flushing hit me ! I have never in my life been so scared ... I was swelling from my head to my feet .My lips tongue mouth and throat I was having trouble breathing then on top of that I was getting redder by the minute and burning along with the itching and chills. I started running a fever .... I took a cold shower while my husband called the ER . When I was able to get out of the shower I took a benadryl as to what the ER told me to do .But it did take some time for the side effects to calm down ... I called my doctor and said I refused to take this medication again .... So understand all medications my have side effects and can effect you differently then me but please be warned . Talk to your doctor about these side effects ......

My son had the Menactra Vaccine one week ago, ever since he has been running a fever and has a headache every day

I was taking mobic 15mg for 2 weeks for arthritis and shoulder impingement. After 5 days I began to have hot flashes and developed a heat rash on the back of my legs from the heat built up from sitting in a chair. I called the doctor and I was advised the mobic was not causing the problems and to continue taking it. Near the end of the second week of taking mobic, my skin was noticeably hot all the time (I was not running a fever). I could not sit or lay down for more than 10 minutes without the heat buildup getting to hot to bear. The last night I spent standing up under a ceiling fan to keep from getting uncomfortably hot. I stopped taking the mobic and symptoms began going away within 24 hours. The mobic worked much better than the naproxen for pain management, but the side-affects were not tolerable.

I have been on NuvaRing for a little less than a year. My OBGYN prescribed it. It was my first time using birth control. I noticed 2 things right away - I was a lot more calm/non-chalant and I had lessened sex drive. I thought the latter was due to my nervousness about my boyfriend pushing it up too far for me to fish it out again and maybe at first that was part of it. But it's gone from overactive to almost non-existent (little physical desire, mostly emotional & love desire). I think normally there such be a balance. Also it is difficult to have an orgasm now - I have to really concentrate. My calmness was great in that it balanced out my highs and lows, but now it's to the point that I mostly don't really care about anything one way or the other. Too non-chalant. I also am experiencing depression for no or irrelevant reasons - so bad that it's kept me out of work and even - yes - even the shopping mall! I have no desire to go outside and do anything - grocery shopping, shopping, shopping, walking around or anything - which I thought at first was a good thing for the shopping, shopping. Like most of the posters I could just lay around and sleep and eat all day. With the sleep - I can sleep, but I am NEVER tired. I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning without a yawn like it's the afternoon and I still wake up very early. With the food - I can eat multiple times in a row - full meals. I'm always hungry and never full/satisfied. I am constipated with hard stools. This was an issue until I got off of partially hydrogenated oils (about 2-3 years ago), however even with my altered diet I've still been having issues. My thighs have been falling asleep - weird. Also I can't remember anything from one moment to the next - which I blamed on stress and age. I discontinued NuvaRing as of today (the day I found these posts). Thank you for being so honest & for sharing your experiences. Hopefully these posts will help others in search of answers.

My 9 month old son was subscribed Omnicef for a double ear infection. He has stopped eating and drinking fluids, he is waking up in the middle of night screaming at the top of his lungs as if in pain. Now mind you this child can sleep 12 hours solid with lots of noise in the background. He is also experiencing horrible diarrhea and is very hot even when the temperature is 72. He is not running a fever. The doctor said to keep with the medicine, I say NO WAY!! This is not drug to give to an adult let alone an infant.

My 13 month old son has been taking Omnicef for 6 days now in 2 2.5 mL doses per day. He has been very whiney and clingy to me and has had the worst diarhea I have ever seen. He has also been running a fever every day upwards of 103. I just changed 4 diapers in less than an hour. I refuse to give him any more of this medication. He does not seem well at all. I'm at a loss. Amoxiclin didn't clear up his ear infection and the doctor gave him this. I will call tomorrow and ask what to do.

I started using the ring about a week ago. Everything was fine til I started getting sick. Shortly after I contracted a bladder infection. I thought it was just another bladder infection cuz I've gotten them before. About 3 days in using the ring I woke up with a mouth full of blood. The blood was seeping out of my gums from my teeth, and the bladder infection was only getting worse. I began running a fever, had a sore throat and felt extremely weak. I couldn't take it anymore, I felt these symptoms were occuring from the ring. I finally pulled it out seeing a large amount of gunk attached to the ring. The next day my mouth had ceased bleeding and I as a whole felt much better. I still am battling the bladder infection, but once the doctor's office is open I can get some antibiotics to fix that. BOO to the NUVARING

I have been taking this medicine for about 3 days, I started running a fever with chills, then ached all over now i have lost the feelings in my hands and the ability to make a fist or even hold a pencil. My head hurts so bad I feel like its going to explode. and I am always tired I sleep for 27 hours the first day i took it but i also thought I was coming down with something.
Unfortunately I just took one before logging on so I already feel it my body is shutting down and dont have enough energy to stand up.

I was prescribed sulfameth for a sinus infection. I took 15 pills. 2 each day. My symptoms got progressively worse. It started with constipation, weight gain, fatigue (I attributed this to the sinus infection), nausea, irritability. I was having trouble getting to sleep. I constantly had to get up to go to the bathroom. Once I would get to sleep I would wake up every few hours. Around day 5 or 6 I started getting a horrendous headache and my neck ached. The pain was intense! My legs ached as well. I started running a fever around 100 degrees. I would be sweating one moment and cold the next. I thought I was getting a bug that was going around minus the sore throat everyone else had. I was glad that I was already on an antibiotic. Today I woke up and have a rash from my shoulders to my feet! I still have the same fever. I called my nurse practitioner and she said to discontinue the medication, take Benadryl for the symptoms and increase my water to flush it out of my system. It's clearly an allergic reaction to the meds. I am throwing the last few doses out.

I was prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim one week ago to treat a urinary tract infection. For the first four days I seemed to be ok although I was very tired and had a loss of appetite which I thought was due to the infection. On the fifth day, after my second dose I began running a fever. Throught the entire evening I experienced hot and cold flashes. I though that I was coming down with something since I have been working alot lately. The sixth day the fever started early. I felt dizzy, skittish and delirious. Again I was up all night with hot and cold flashes. I was suffering from joint pain and neck pain, red spots appeared all over my body. My eyes also became sore. The glands on the back of my neck and behind my jawbone became extremely swollenOne of my co workers looked at my prescription and told me that I may be allergic to sulfer. Since I was already at the end of the medicine and the infection almost gone I decided to try taking benedryl and tylenol. The fever has stopped as well as the dizziness and delirium. The red spots seem to be going away and I have an appetite again. I still feel a bit tired and my neck is still swollen but I dont' want to start all over again on something else. In the future I will tell my doctor that I am allergic to sulfer and cannot take this medication..

Hello everyone. I am here to add my "two cents" about Yasmin. I have been off of it for about 2 months now, and I am feeling much better. I originally was put on birth control pills to control horrible cramps during both ovulation and my period. I am a 47-year old female who has been getting worse and worse pms and periods. I tried a couple other birth control pills, but my blood pressure was on the high side, so my OB/GYN explained that it might be worth trying Yasmin, since it has a diruetic in it. Like most of the other posts I have read, I don't know if I am "crazy" or not, but all I can attribute my symptoms to is Yasmin. I started taking Yasmin in the end of February, and by day two, I was nauseous and was constantly in the bathroom. Within a week, my entire lower abdomin was tender to the touch. By this past Easter (the end of March), I began running a fever and went to the Dr. I was put on Cipro, as they thought I had either a lower abdominal infection or diverticulitis. I was sent for a lower GI and they did see some small kidney stones and a 4 mm cyst on my right ovary. The cyst eventually went away and I continued to experience nausea and tenderness in my lower abdomin. After my period in the end of March/beginning of April, I went off Yasmin. ALL IS NOW FINE. Am I crazy? I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if these symptoms were caused by the Yasmin. I have never been so sick in my life. I am now hormone free - I will put up with the heavy painful periods for awhile longer!
Good luck to all!

Out of desparation I went on the internet today to see if anyone else besides myself was having adverse reactions. I went to the Dr. yesterday and neither one of us could figure out why I was hoarse,throat full of phlem, felt like I had a lump in my throat and it felt tight. Kept feeling like I had to swallow. The roof of my mouth is sore and my toungue is sore. Funny taste in my mouth. Acid reflux. Prilosec no longer working. Running a fever last week of 102 degrees. Yesterday when I took my morning dose of advair it fellt like my mouth was on fire. Constant non stop post nasal drip, which made me feel like I constantly had to swallow. Felt paniky. Desided to take myself off Advair today. I'm already feeling better. My voice is coming back to normal. The thick phlem is subsiding and the swelling and tightness in my neck is almost gone. Weight gain of 20 lbs in the last year. The advair was actually triggering bronchitis and was also causing acid reflux. The medication prilosec, nexium,protonix etc. can increase your chance of getting pneumonia and upper respritory problems. I was not diagnosed with asthma, yet the Nurse Practioner was treating me with aggressive asthma medication, which over time was worse than the original symptoms. By the way Flovent and advair are the same thing so I also took myself off flovent. I went to the health food store and bought allergy 10 and echinacea. Echinacea boosts the immune system and acts like an antibiotic, but should not be taken for more than 6 to 8 weeks at a time. Allergy 10 can be take indefinately.

I am a 28 year old male. I was just pre-scribed Singulair yesterday to help with my acute spring alergies. I took the pill at 9pm. I am now up at 4am on a work night writing this. I am freaking out and almost went to the hospital until I read this site and already feelling better knowing that this medication is horrible for some and some of these side effects are expected. My throat and chest are really tight/sore (the worst possible feeling). I have a cough that is awful and hurts. I also have the chills and feel like I am running a fever. I cant sleep. I hate this medication....never again.

My one year old son was prescribed omnicef for broncital cough that he had developed. Prior to 8 days agao he had been on this medication before but never indure any side effects. Anyway, today is his eighth day of being on the medication and as of three days ago he started having loose stools, black coloring with what looked like black pieces of miniature corn. For three days he has had diareaha, and it seems like every 5 minuets he has another loose stool. I called the doctor and asked what should I do and they said to me because he was not running a fever that it was most llikely something that he ate. But you know what his diet had not changed at all. So I stopped giving him his medication today because after the second day he also developed a severe diaper rash, I usually wipe him with baby wipes but I can not anymore do to the rash on his bottom. Poor baby, his balls were swallon and his butt red! Well if anyone has any advice for me please email me so I can make my baby feel better.

I started taking Levaquin about 3 days ago for a sinus infection and haven't felt quite right since. My legs feel tingly; sometimes numbing. Extremely cold and yet sometimes feel as though I am running a fever!! Wonder if I should continue the remaining 7 pills? I think I will call doctor tomorrow to see what they have to say.
