Suggest Medication For Symptoms Of Pneumonia
Hi, Thanks for answering for me. I suspect I have pneumonia because I had it a few years ago and the symptoms I am experiencing now are similar. Like the last time I believe I caught it from another person. In this case I slept with a guy who was sweating and coughing badly. I asked him if he had it and he denied it and sai he had sinus. I don t believe him. What antibiotics are best for Pneumonia pse? I called my Doc s practice and couldn t go in so they phoned through a presc. to my pharmacy but it doesn t seem to be working. I told them at that time it was sinus but now I think otherwise.

first thing i have to tell, it is not good you are going to diagnose your self . you may have similar symptoms in some other illnesses too. it is very dangerous , trying to take medications without examined and prescribed by a doctor. both clinical history, examinations and investigations such as chest x ray , Fbc and esr is very important in diagnosing pneumonia. so please consult a family physician or specialized general physician. they will examine ,investigate and treat you. Remember you need antibiotics in injection forms in some pneumonias and may need hospital admissions too.
