hi i am suffering from what i believe is a chest infection, i have had the regularly every year nice i was born i am now 18. it started about 2 months ago with a normal chest infection, put on antibiotics, didnt help, then it progressed onto bronchitis, antibiotics still didnt help, i went to the dr the otherday got put on stronger antibiotics (clarithromycin) which still dont seem to be helping and i feel like i am getting worse. my chest is now rattling within i cough i am wheezing, short of breath, have no appetite, and i cant hear properly out of my left ear. i am concerned that i may have pneumonia which i have read, antibiotics have no affect on which would explain why i keep getting worse. can you help?
Hey Charles there is some resistant infection. Get done CT scan of your lungs to rule out other cause. If required go for bronchoscopy also. You will get definite diagnosis after this. Get treatment accordingly.
