Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Clarithromycin And Prednisolone The Right Medications For Chest Infection?
My partner has been prescribed Clarithromycin and Prednisolone for a chest infection that he has had for nearly 2 weeks. My concern is that he has taken it for 2 days and there has been no improvement. He s already had a weeks worth of Amoxicilline which did nothing! He is also a paraplegic who is on a huge dose of warfare daily. If anything he seems to be getting worse and has no energy what so ever. I m becoming increasingly concerned. Should he be in hospital or give the antibiotics more time?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the disease condition and the dose given for the drug could be matter of concern, it should be right drugs with correct dosage need to be given for right diagnosis else no result would be seen hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
