moxifloxacin for aspiration pneumonia

I was diagnosed with pneumonia 6 weeks ago. I was on oral antibiotics for 2 days, then admitted with an IV drip for 3 days (levifloxacin, as I'm allergic to penicillin-based drugs) then given a 5 day course of oral clarithromyacin. I rested for 2 more weeks after finishing the antibiotics but was still coughing yellow mucus and feeling tired with moderate/mild activity.

ve encountered a case in which a 5-day old puppy was brought in the clinic with hemoptysis, I concluded that it was aspiration pneumonia because the puppy was only been nursed by the owner... We immediately administered antibiotics and wasn't able to put on IV fluids due to the small size of the puppy, we tried administering oral fluids, but it doesn't work well.... after an hour, the puppy died and coughed a lot of blood....

I have swallowing disorders that put me at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Are there any tests that can be done to differentiate the type of pneumonia? I have had several xrays done on my chest and was put on antibiotics.

Aspiration pneumonia is a result of constant acid reflux into the stomach. You've probably haven't developed it yet, and you'll be probably fine, when you control your stomach infection, since this should stop your burping. Aspiration pneumonia can be only prevented, not really treated. Steroids maybe, but I guess, you don't have pneumonia already.

Hi Doctor, at lunch today I was taste testing my yellow rice to see if it was soft enough to finish a recipe and choked on a couple of pieces. I coughed and then made myself cough a number of times 'just in case', but am concerned it went into my lungs and might cause aspiration pneumonia. I have no lung problems.

A few years ago I had Pneumonia for nine weeks, although I was never as sick as your sister, I was very sick. At the end of nine weeks with nothing helping, my doctor gave me a cortizone shot! this did it for me I was well (totally well) within 24 hours. The cortizone shot they gave me was a clear liquid given in the upper hip with a needle so small there is NO PAIN! I have had Bronchitis many times since, and it works well for that too. Good Luck!

30 days ago I swallowed a piece of granola bar the wrong way. I coughed something bad; I couldn't stop for 5 minutes. After coughing my voice was deeper and raspier and my throat hurt some for a couple of days. About 5 times since my voice has gotten deep again and weird sounding just for a couple of minutes here and there like the day this happened.

Is it possible that aspiration pneumonia (oatmeal lodged in the trachea) can exacerbate COPD and/or asthma, thus causing the mild hyperinflation on an x-ray? The 70-yr-old patient is a former smoker (most of her life) and was found w/ an O2 sat of 40% that was a result of the bolus of food that the paramedics had to "force" a breathing tube through. Keep in mind, neither the amount of time that the oatmeal was lodged, nor the amount of time the O2 was low, cannot be verified.

In MS, Aspiration Pneumonia can be related to issues with swallowing or gastric reflux. Stomach contents and saliva can cause problems in the lungs. Sometime occupational and speech therapists can help with swallowing issues. I have no idea whether sleeping upright on pillows or a recliner works. It seems to help reflux patients keep the stomach contents down. I suspect that it may help with the drainage of saliva. Let us know what you find out.

He has a cough and they can not tell whether it is pneumonia or cancer from the xrays. If it is pneumonia- they want to see the bacteria. We have paid for 5 xrays so far and the procedure is going to be $700. Does this sound right? I would ask my vet- but he is not interested in our situation- I guess if it is not money in his pocket he does not care.

I got a barrium swallow and it was normal so i assumed it was an anxiety issue, Then after I got the pneumonia i saw something on the internet about aspiration pneumonia and it scared me because I still feel lump in throat and nausea at times. Could I have aspirated something into my lungs? I am being treated for pneumonia but I dont know what type. cant get a hold of dr because of holiday.

Aspiration is a common event. The aspiration can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia, often with cough and the cough may persist for a long time. Food is one type of foreign body that is aspirated. Only 20% of all objects aspirated are show up directly on chest x-ray, also called radio-opaque, and 40% will have a normal chest x-ray.

Hi, I am a 62 year old female, who quit smoking in 1979, hospitalized for over a month with aspiration pneumonia. Had acute bronchitis for many years, another episode pneumonia three years after this one. I recently started a new job and for three months was constantly sick with fever, productive cough and general illness.

The symptoms of cough with wheezing and breathlessness more pronounced on left side could be due to more affection on left lung due to asthma, allergic bronchitis of left lung, left lung pneumonia (though this will also cause fever) and aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is seen in cases of severe GERD or gastric reflux where a part of the refluxed contents are aspirated by the lung. Left lung is more affected than right.

Our dear sweet aspiration pneumonia Meg -- we are so glad you are back but apologize for the frustrating resigning up at the forums! I am so sorry it is taking you a long time to improve. How is your mobility lately? Are you laying down a lot? Are you deep breathing and coughing every hour while you're awake? Perhaps a nice incentive spirometer would help if you're not moving around much? Are you a smoker?

t know if aspiration pneumonia is like the regular pneumonia, but a big sign for me was pain in my lungs or in my back on top of my lungs. On top of the hacking cough and mucus production of course. Talk about one thing after another! I know this is the last thing you need! I hope you'll be feeling better soon so you can get back to choir and show 'em how it's done!

This leads to obstruction of food going into the stomach with regurgitation, regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia. There is no cure for this disease, but pneumatic dilation of the sphincter, commonly called a valve, or surgical myotomy, which is partial cutting of the valve, offer long-lasting benefit and are considered optimal treatment. If this abnormality is uncorrected, your father will continue to get aspiration pneumonia and eventually die of it.

Dear Pizmo9, Treatment for cancer can put you at increased risk for conditions such as pneumonia. The decision as to when to resume radiation therapy should be be made in consultation with your radiation oncologist who will advise based on your overall clinical condition.

m wrong, this drug is only approved for the treatment of Pneumonia. It has been studied for treating MG in vitro only (looks like it could be a breakthrough) but as yet has not had any patient trials. I don't mean to rain on your parade dude and like I said, perhaps I'm wrong (not from the states so I don't know a great deal about how the FDA works), but as far as I can see this is not an approved drug for use against STIs so I can't see any doctor prescribing it.

I HAVE HAD A BAD COUGH FOR MORE THEN 2 MONTHS NOW AND IT MAKES ME HAVE BAD CHEST PAINS AND I ALSO COUGH UP BLOOD AT TIMES WHAT COULD IT BE?

My four and a half month old english bulldog pup has just come down with his second case of aspiration pneumonia within the last 6 weeks. Both times it occurred after he threw up. These are the only times since I had the pup that he has thrown up (got him at 8 weeks old). Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this from occurring again? It is a big financial burden(about 2grand every incident) and other than these incidents he is a very healthy pup.

Okay, so I have 2 3 week old kittens. One is quite a bit smaller. They have to be bottlefed, but for the first week and a half or so of their life they had Mom. Anyway, on Thursday one was drinking but I accidentally pushed on the bottle and some came out of it's nose. I cleaned it up and 'cleared' the lungs as much as possible. Now her breathing sounds fine, but I'm just wondering if it's possible she might have aspiration pneumonia?
