UTI
My mother was catheterized with an in dwelling catheter several years ago as she was not able to empty her bladder and she was constantly requesting to go to the bathroom. She is currently having chronic UTI's. Although we have used several antibiotics for UTI's, none have resolved the infection.

Since then I've had 4 courses of amoxicillin and although it clears up for a few days, it always comes back. I've just had my midwife on the phone and she says I have it again but we should

Does anybody else find amoxicillin ineffective? I have Bronchiectasis

Will I still be able to have chemo?
I developed a cold on Sunday and chemo unit advised me to contact out of hours GP for antibiotics. They said that they wanted to prevent me getting chest infection. I was given 7 days amoxicillin 500 mg. I know that antibiotics don't work on viruses but I am taking them if its going to stop chest infection

Trust Your Pharmacist?
Today the BBC has posted the story below. Funny how we are always being told to consult with our pharmacists because they know so much. I guess that precludes them claiming ignorance in these cases? [i] 17 December 2012 Last updated at 10:28

Has anyone taken Clarithromycin antibiotic?
I have been given these and have a really dry mouth and throat. I have never taken them before as I usually have Amoxicillin. Just wondered if this was due to the antibiotics or the short course of Pred that I given or anything else.

Don't seem to be improving
I have been having some trouble with my chest for just over a week now. Last Thursday I went to my GP as I could feel that I had a chest infection starting. He said he couldn't hear anything and sent me away with a course of prednisolone. By Monday I was worse and went back, this time they could hear
