Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
The culture shows I have proteus mirabilis. I am allergic to all antibiotics except Doxycycline Hyclate Oral. The culture susceptibility results did not list that as one of the treatments . Is there any combination of natural remedies that could fight this? My primary care doctor states I cannot take any of the antibiotics on the susceptibility list that printed with the lab culture. Are there any non-antibiotic remedies? ie. cranberry juice? probiotics? Doxcycline almost helped, but then I got worse. I have been running a low grade fever for the last 3 weeks. Bronchitis type illness will not go away hence the cultures. (Had minor cancer surgery June 15th, this developed about 4 wks later while undergoing radiation. Any out of the box ideas/suggestions could save my life! Please help. If you would extend your support I will provide you any other personal medical details.
