Fluid on left lung

[Westie2012]

I tested positive for covid Thursday , my gp checked me over Friday as I have been getting an achy dull pain down my left side , he said one of my lungs sounded quieter and asked if there had ever been any mention of fluid on my lung , it was mentioned a while ago but that’s all . He prescribed Clarithromycin for 10 days , I have a pacemaker and I’m recovering from pericarditis and an effusion , I’m still on colchicine and have read about not taking the antibiotic and colchicine .

Your gp should have known whether you are safe to take combined medications that you are on.If you have concerns the best person to discuss this with is your chemist who will know about contraindications of medicines.

Hope you feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear that you have tested positive. I think, as Bevvy said, that the best way to check whether your combination of medications is safe to to is to speak to your chemist in the morning. Hope you will soon be feeling better.
