I was sick for 3 whole weeks, it started with a whole week of nothing but sneezing and blowing my nose, the second week was the body aches, headache and eventually the fever, and then the cougChatDoctore at the last week, where I coughed continuously through a whole week at night time...anyway I have a horrible pain on the right side of my chest, I went to the emergency room, they told me I have bronchitis and pleurisy they prescribed me to take augmentin and decodron which I did finish the decodron, but I developed a reaction to the augmentin, but now, I am not taking anything and the doctor gave me a shot of a steroid? Shouldn t I be taking some kind of antibiotic too tho?
Hi, Since from your history it seems that you had got chest infection (pneumonia), As you did not get treatment on time so increased in intensity. My opinion would be, avoid medicines which cause allergic reaction. You may get other group of antibiotics, which can be sensitive to infection. Get blood culture, sputum culture and X-ray done first, so that type of pneumonia can be evaluated and Chat Doctor. Hopefully my answer will be helpful for you.
