Yes, thank you. I have been sick with first the flu,then bronchitis,and asthma related upper respiratory symptoms,,,and the last week I have had a sore throat with blotches on my tongue and throat.I have had a terrible hacking cough, sweats, and diarrhea off and on. My appetite is almost nothing, and the last 2 days I have had spontaneous diarrhea that I have no control over.I am on my 2nd course of zithromax 250mg x 10 days,using inhalers, a 5 day dose of prednisone 20mg, and using otc day/night medicine for the specific symptoms.I do have an Interstim inplant (for bladder control), and I don t feel that I am getting rid of as much fluid as I normally would.I drink 6-8 bottles of water and/or green tea with ginseng daily. I am past the point of just feeling terrrible,but I feel there might be something more serious going on.
I think you should stop the medication with azithromycin since you haven't effect from the medication. You have at least make a chest x-ray and switch to a cephalosporin (better 2nd or 3rd generation) medication continue your inhalers and increase the dose of prednisone to 30 mg and take plenty of fluid
