Nitrofurantoin lung disease
Common Questions and Answers about Nitrofurantoin lung disease
macrobid
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin (macrobid) for a UTI. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Can these be broken up?
It also says that the colony count of the bacteris is 1,00,000 cfu/ml. Hence, doctor prescribed some medicines like Uribid with nitrofurantoin in it, Prothiaden M, Montemac FX for allergy and Hifenac-P for fever and also Cital syrup for UTI. My mother continued the course for one week, now fever and tiredness have decreased, but the burning sensation continues. Is this mixture of tablets fine, or any other suggestion or recommendations for treating this urinary tract infection of K.Oxytoca.
The cyst on your back is not related to the pneumonia unless it formed a track containing puss to the lung from the back. If you still have symptoms of pneumonia, please see a lung specialist - a Pulmonologist. They will order a CT of the lungs to look closer within the soft tissues and ask them to order Lung Function Testing to see if you are breathing adequately and have good lung capacity.
9 days ago Nitrofurantoin (200g a day for 5 days) was taken and daily birth control (Qlaira). Both are known to decrease levels of haptoglobin but nothing about complete depletion.
Could this be an extended effect from Nitrofurantoin? When should the test be repeated ?
A couple of weeks later I developed a urinary tract infection. Urologist prescribed nitrofurantoin for the infection. Immediatedly after starting the antibiotic my ears gradually starting feeling clogged. Now, two weeks later, they are both very clogged (no wax buildup) and I can barely hear. Logic tells me the ear clogging is somehow connected to the nitrofurantoin. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this happening? Will this clogging go away by itself?

He did a spirometry test which turns out was abnormal or showed that I have restricted lung disease. I went for a chest xray which turned out to be normal. I do however notice that if I burp it releaves that feeling of not enough air. I have a appointment with a pulmonologist in a couple weeks. I was just wondering if anyone has had this experience or what the chances are that I have a fibrosis disease?

A heart echocardiogram revealed “minor” right heart thickening (doctor said it was normal with hypertension) and a lung function with revealed minor restrictive lung disease. His blood pressure is controlled with medication. My husband is literally not able to walk more than 15-20 feet without giving out of breath, needing to sit down. Up until 3 weeks ago, he was extremely active walking/running daily. He is not able to eat without taking several breaks to just catch his breath.
Our son is 17. Severe Cerebral Palsy, sudden onset scolisos at puberty. Spinal surgery at 13. Increased scoliosis and crankshafting at 15 years. At 16 diagnosed with severe restrictive lung disease. Right lung "caged" between spine and severe ribcage deformity. Removal of hardware, "fixing" of severe ribcage rotation not possible. CT scan shows right lung smaller than should be and breath sounds show very little movement.

Restrictive lung disease is either intrinsic or extrinsic within the lungs. Intrinsic means that the lungs themselves are causing the restrictive defect, usually from scarring that is preventing the lung from expanding properly with each breath. Some disorders that cause intrinsic restrictive disease are pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis,etc....
