I have a question I have had a cough since January went to my primary care Dr said I may have a nasal drip. Cough still continued Primary care said I have bronchitis put me on erethromicin 10 day. Still coughing went for xray nothing showed up still coughing went to ear nose throat didn't see anything still coughing had an apt with gastro he told me to see a lung dr. went to lung dr had cat scan I have to go back in 3 months found scar tissue and some other things that said suspicious Took sputum test part of test came back. The dr said it takes about 28 days to get all results. I have bacteria in lungs. lung dr. put me on cefuroxime axetil 500mg 2x a day. during all that time My bms had an odor which I didn't have before, since taking the cefuroxime I have no bm odor. My question is could it be that I had bacteria from my pouch that went to my lung? I haven't gotten all test result yet. Do you think I should call my gastro to let him know? Oh another thing I stopped taking my cipro while taking cefuroxime, one in morning one at night and vsl in afternoon. I have been on cefuroxime for about a week now I have 6 more pills to go. I haven't received and more results I am going to call the lung dr. today. Thanks Grace
