Avatar f tn Have anyone started feeling dizzy, weak and hard to breath sitting or standing but OK laying down while taking medicine for pneumonia and how long do it last or should I go back to the ER.
Avatar n tn Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
Avatar n tn and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia. I was prescribed Robitussin with codeine to help me sleep, although all it really did was tire me slightly. After another week of feeling completely miserable I started to breath better, my nose dried out, and my cough produced less and less green mucus. Sleeping then was hard, but I was able to take my meds, settle down, sleep for about two hours, wake up again from coughing and repeat.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with pneumonia today and I've been getting radiation for my left breast for cancer for the last three weeks. First, did the radiation weaken my lungs to make me getting pneumonia easier? Secondly should I continue with the radiation while taking antibiotics or wait until I'm over the medicine or just the 48 hours that the doctor said I would be contagious?
Avatar f tn I had the same situation before but just a pneumonia bilateral not covid pneumonia. Are you feeling fine now? Based on my research on pneumonia, the person having it usually recovers for about 6 months. That is totally normal coz you're still on process of healing your lungs and our body is recovering from the illness due to pneumonia. Until now I am having the urge of taking deep breaths and still working on it until my breathing is normal.
Avatar f tn I had pneumonia for 3 months then it seemed 2 clear for 2 weeks after 4 courses of anti-biotics that didnt help now it seems its coming back and my doctors given me more anti-biotics which i am reluctant to take coz they never seem 2 work.my dr said my white bloodcells are very low.i had a punctured lung about 3 years ago and wandered if it cud be connected? have u any suggestions what i shud do or anything that my dr shud be doing different?
Avatar n tn If you have a virus that resulted in pneumonia, while allopathic medicine has little in the way of anti-virals, there are plants that have anti-viral properties. Olive leaf and elderberry are two examples. Herb Pharm makes a tincture that helps with virus control. That being said, though, and assuming this is viral in nature, once you have pneumonia you have progressed significantly through the viral process already and the more important thing is clearing the lungs.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am 31 years old, & I smoked for 17 years, and i quit cold turkey yesterday. I was told Friday I have chronic pneumonia & chronic bronchitis. Today I had a hard time, and so I put a patch on. I am sick to my stomach, I am having a very hard time taking a deep breath still, and I am shaky, and feel horrible. I am on strong anti-biotics for the pneumonia and steroids for the inflamation.
Avatar n tn She has to take the .medicine. Does she still have a fever? What kind of pneumonia is it? What bacteria?
Avatar f tn ve been fighting pneumonia for weeks now and not one doctor will give me medicine because I am pregnant; they told me, that me being 19 rest and lots of fluids should get me better; but the fact that I had pneumonia last year and almost died because of a weak immune system scares me with no medication. I hope you feel better though!
Avatar n tn My brother has had pneumonia 3 times in the past 6 months (October, November, & February). In October, his symptoms began with what doctors thought was pericarditis, which I'm assuming lead to pneumonia, respitory failure, septic shock, and kidney damage. He was hospitalized at the time for a total of 8 days most of which were spent in the ICU.
Avatar f tn One ounce of Magnesium Chloride flakes (Pharmaceutical grade) per one liter of spring water, sipped very slowly throughout the entire day. Repeat for 3-4 days. Your symptoms indicate a viral or bacterial infection and are consistent with bronchiestasis. If it is viral, no medicine can help, once the virus has replicated. If bacterial, amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for bronchiectasis. You may want to consider Breathing Exercises for Bronchiectasis.
Avatar m tn After hearing my symptoms, he decided that I had the virus that causes Walking Pneumonia and gave me some medicine. A week later, I was getting worse. I was having very labored breathing (with tightness in my chest). A 2nd trip was made to ambulatory care to see the same doctor. I got a chest x-ray, which showed some cloudiness across both lobes. He said that I had Walking Pneumonia and gave me different medicine. 6 days later, I woke up at 4AM gasping for air.
Avatar f tn I had chest X-ray last week which confirmed pneumonia. I had told dr I had been coughing up blood for several days and they asked if it was streaked and I said yes. I saw a description on a web page using the description of looking like a partially scrambled egg and that is what it really looked like, not really streaked but kind of mixed. Now I have been on 500 mg Cipro for 4 of 7 days prescribed but still am coughing up same type of blood mixture.

550796 tn?1214942591 t hurt, steroids are sometimes warranted, and cough medicine with an expectorant would help. Please ask your vet for a prescription for an expectorant, or if your vet believes that an over the counter pediatric expectorant and/or cough medicine will help. The rest of the help is supportive therapy. And good luck with your little guy!
Avatar f tn So now im on keflex, zithromax, albuterol, zofran, tums, cough drops, robitussin dm, and got a shot of rocefin in the arse. How does an ear infection turn into pneumonia? ??? I didn't even know that was possible! And my doc says taking all these meds is safe but that seems like an awful lot to me.
Avatar n tn About 10 years ago,I got pneumonia from a hospital.After treatment, I still didn't feel well.One specialist said my lung was very big after seeing my X-ray film.After that,I didn't take any medicine. Recently,I breathe heavily and feel uncomfortable inside the chest after little excertion.After the pneumonia,I have whitish phlem all along.I think I have COPD.Would the doctor please advise?
Avatar f tn m not getting any better and the worse thing was it become pneumonia and the doctor put me on zithromax for 7 days but unfortunately the fever is still there and I was confined in the hospital twice and I undergo bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy and the diagnosis was nonspecific interstitial pneumonia but still I have a fever and night sweat at night.
645390 tn?1338555377 I hope they can get you on some medicine for your pneumonia. If it isn't one thing it's another, isn't it. At least tomorrow is your last day for you IV meds.
Avatar n tn I am a veterinary medicine student and I'm having my on-job training in a small animal clinic, which was not that advanced or we just say, the facilities are obsolete. I'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...
Avatar f tn I just checked out of the hospital yesterday, where I was admitted for pneumonia and a high WBC count. When I checked out, I was told my WBC is still too high, and that I'll need to get it checked soon. I'm becoming concerned because even though I left the hospital, I am still incredibly weak and don't have the energy to do anything or go anywhere. I will have to return to work on Monday, and at this point, I don't know if I will have the physical energy.
1444593 tn?1284397979 I actually took him to the ER last night and he has pneumonia! We are currently waiting for the doctor! You were right, he needed a different antibiotic!
541431 tn?1225894360 Pneumonia nead to be well treated, people feel very weak, very sick. Then when pneumonia is cured you must go back to the doctor (internal medicine) and make all the analyses (ask free T3, free T4 and TSH too). About thyroid, need to check with a ENDO or your internAL MEDICINE doctor, but in my opinion with an infection the values may be different but perhaps it is urgent too.
Avatar m tn right now i have a lot of phlem, i have body ( on the back also) and head aches, nasal congestion and I snezze a lot, ocassionaly my chest hurts on the sides or in the middle, but before the cold it was there and getting better ) before the cold I felt a way better, only head aches, phlem, and occasionally a little bit of chest pain, I`ve never coughed nor had fever since I initially had pneumonia. the only medicine that Im taking is mucinex (guaifenesin) to thin out the phlem.
