Saw the specilaitist, lots of tests

Saw her this evening and she said yes sounds like Bronchitis but is concerned that it's been 6 weeks. So she got me to do sputum sample, throat and nose swab, urine sample and then I went to phlebotomy for bloods. I'm having a CT tomorrow then seeing her Friday for all the results, and see what's to report.

In the meantime she's given me 7 days of Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin to take together. And she said it would be best to try and handle the side effects of the Clary as it is the best one to use and once I've done the course any probs will sudside. So I guess I'll just grin and bare it!

Good luck. Your specialist sounds really efficient, hang in there, with all those tests you are in good hands. Best wishes

I was very impressed by the speed of your consultant and her thoroughness. Amazing the difference with health care! My consultant referred me back to GP so I'm feeling like a reject now. Lol . Glad your being looked after so well and hope your results are good. 💐
