upper respiratory tract infection
"Ive had a chesty cough for 7 weeks, following a total hysterectomy my Hilar lymph node is enlarged in my right lung and Im exhausted from coughing. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and am waiting to start chemotherapy, which is being delayed due to my infection. I have had amoxicillin 500mg and Doxycycline 500mg, neither did anything. I'm now on 2 x 500mg Clarithromycin, I have had 5 tablets so far and have 9 to take. Within a few hours of taking this medicine, the heat in my throat and ears was tremendous, it felt like the drugs were fighting the infection. The vile metallic taste started by 3rd tablet, its worse than the taste I had during my chemotherapy for breast cancer. It won't seem to go, immense thirst and headaches too!!"
