Not quite well yet...

[elissande]

It's nearly a week since I started the antibiotics. I've improved - my voice doesn't always sound like gravel and my throat isn't sandpaper and coughing doesn't feel like razorblades inside my trachea - BUT I've still got a nasty rasping cough and wheezy sounds in the chest at the end of each breath. So I went to the doctor again - especially as I was near the end of the course of antibiotics and didn't think they'd quite done the job. This didn't seem good either for me or for the avoidance of resistant buglies.

Doctor listened to my chest for one cough and one 'ordinary' breath and immediately gave me a prescription for a stronger antibiotic. Here's hoping this works.

I am at work today. Felt like I should as I went to Canberra over the weekend, but now I'm fading a bit and struggling to stay awake.

Ah, I got amoxycillin - which I know I'm ok with (not that he asked). The new one is Augmentin Duo Forte which is also amoxycillin - at a higher dose - plus potassium clavalunate. I've had Augmentin before as well, so also ok. And I am noticeably better today!
