The 30mg Steroids were for only 6 days I will finish, however I am on7mg / day anyway for ‘another problem, and have been for 18 mths - so getting a good share of steroids - was really missing the Carboistiene/ Azithromycin which help during day + Co- Amoxicillin as must have a ‘flare up’ to be so bad

Bronchiectasis sufferers do you get this ?
I have been up and down again the last couple of days, possibly an infection coming on, the thing is I have been getting a horrible taste in my mouth which I can only describe as a metal/iron type of taste if that makes sense, I've also had a lot of bloating in my stomach the last couple of weeks, which

Medication Dilemma
Last year I was on a cocktail of asthma drugs. Around this time I was regularly hitting my PB. I began to feel uncomfortable taking so many drugs and decided that I wanted to try controlling my asthma with combo inhaler and salbutamol. For the last 6 months or so I’ve not been anywhere near the PB set

Pseudomonas advice
Hi all, This is my first post so please do bear with me. My son (2) has been on nebulised colomycin, azithromycin, inhalers and montelukast for a year to combat pseudomonas. This followed two weeks of IVs in hospital. Problem is - we cannot seem to find an underlying cause (negative for cystic fibrosis

Today is SWEET'S SYNDROME UK DAY, and I thought it would be relevant to post about Sweet's syndrome (SS) developing secondary to COVID-19.

Cimetidine and Erythromycin
Has anybody had to take Cimetidine and Erythromycin at the same time. I’ve picked up an infection and have been prescribed these antibiotics but am concerned about any interaction with Cimetidine. Thankyou.
