Do Antibiotics Taken For UTI Cause Lung Disease?
I have an early interstistal lung disease and have read that some antibiotics can cause fatal lung disease. A recent CT scan shows some tiny nodules in my lungs and some fibrosis in both. I see my doctor on Tuesday to go over the CT scan and results, but wonder if some of the antibiotics I have taken for UTI infections could have caused this.
