Hi Gaz, I've used it too but find amoxicillin helps my asthma and has been even better since been on augmentin 625mg for last month.Weird as it's not why i was given it!Was on nebuliser every 4 hours before this and now cut meds down to minimum!

Some antibiotics have an anti imflammatory (reduce swelling) properties on top of the antibiotic role . As such t ur asthma may improve as the inflammation in the lung reduces. Can't remember wot ones have this .

Hey, azithromycin is the antibiotic that has recently been discovered to help asthmatics whith chest infections, and i think there's been some research on it's use in viral infections, however don't quote me on the latter. You could always ask your GP for this next time you have an infection, to see if this would help.
