Sorry to be a pain,had 2 weeks tazocin as allergic to ciproflaxin,3 weeks later full of joint pain and horrible tasting phlegm ,have just been diagnosed with pseudomonas aureginosa and am seeing consultant on Wednesday re next cause of treatment.Feels like moraxella bug is back however this did not show in my hospital sputum sample as had 2 weeks of amoxiclav prior to Ivs .Could this bug come back so soon or is it just the pseudomonas need additional treatment!Thanks for all help !
