ear ringing and fatigue. i started amoxicillin the next day and the sinus pressure went away but the rest of my symptoms remained and i was absolutely miserable. i stayed on the antibiotic for four more days with no improvement - in fact i lost my voice around this time. i went back to the doctor and started levaquin. i was on that for four more days with no improvement and actually started coughing up/blowing my nose and producing this unnatural bright solid yellow mucous. i've seen much mucous in my day i'm a nurse. i've never seen mucous this color. it wasn't a seethrough yellow it was a solid bright yellow and when i blew my nose i could feel it pulling out of my sinuses by my nose. it was miserable and i could hardly breathe. at this point i went to the hospital where they gave me hour long breathing treatments solumedrol iv and put me on omnicef (another antibiotic). after a full week of this antibiotic i finished it. now (two/three weeks later) my mucous is clear/red (from all the irritation) i still have laryngitis (no voice) coughing from the tickle deep in my chest apparently have asthma now new symptoms last 4 days i've had joint pain and am seriously dizzy. i shouldn't be getting worse should i? i mean for crying out loud i quit smoking 4 weeks ago i'm using daily breathing treatments of albuterol ventolin inhaler as needed. i'm so exhausted that i just want to go to sleep and not wake up. what is going on? why am i not better? i've been to the doc 3 times and the er twice. they say there's nothing they can do for me but i'm concerned that something more serious is wrong. i'm scheduling an appointment for the ent doctor but around here physicians are really. lets just say i want an opinion from this online community before i go. please please please give me opinions?
i've been sick for 6 weeks with what the doctors say is a viral infection but i'm getting worse not better. normal? . it started with normal cold like symptoms which was ok. i made it through about two weeks of that just fine and was getting better. i was late picking up my narcolepsy medications (aderrall) and went through about 3 days of withdrawal which i'm sure made my immune system crash. i got my medication back but became seriously ill with what the doctors told me was a sinus infection. i concur. severe sinus pressure hacking wet cough dyspnea . . . to be continued
