Hello
It is very difficult to answer your question , which antibiotics is stronger ?
Flucloxacillin is effective against staphylococcal infections resistant to benzylepenicillin .
While clarithromycin is a macrolide type antibiotics and effective against susceptible infection, respiratory infections , skin & soft tissue infections , mycobacterium aviumcomples infections etc .
But you mentioned that there are patches in the lungs on X RAY .
So , what type of patches , either upload the X ray or write down about the kind of patches .
But in my opinion for respiratory infection clarithromycin is better than flucloxacillin.
However , still I advise consult a physician and thereafter take treatment.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
