Hello I've got a chest infection and have been given amoxicillin and prednisolone to take to try and sort it out. My lungs are really hurting at the moment. I've never taken them together before and wondered whether it is common to take both together, it feels like a lot of medication. Also, sorry

Hi everyone. I have had asthma for 2 years and it usually flares up in the summer due to hay fever.

3 times aday and prednisolone 5mg, 6 tablets a day. The infection did not clear and I went to the doc in France today.

Evening everyone Feeling really down just been to see my stand in consultant, was hoping for answers as to why I've felt so rubbish since June just didn't expect him to be quite so candid.

I posted the other day I had called the respiratory nurse and that the sputum said I didn't have an infection. Wrong I was woken by a stabbing pains bottom of my right rib by my lung couldn't get my breathe, called ambulance and they gave me a nebuliser which I don't normally have within minutes I could

I've been coughing almost constantly now for 2 weeks (and i've completely lost my voice today too) so i decided it was time to see the doctor.

Anyone been diagnosed with this bug? I had a sputum test months ago which resulted in me being given a course of Amoxicillin. After a follow up test the surgery never got back in touch with me so I assumed all was well until at my COPD check the nurse mentioned I'd had two lots of ABs. I corrected her
