It's a simple nose swab. She was in respitory failure by the time I realized what it was. Always listen to your instincts. She now has asthma as a result and a cold lasts forever. Hope this helpsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296529244997713039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414620.post-39303364342220927982009-02-11T07:37:00.000-05:002009-02-11T07:37:00.000-05:00My name is Wesley Brown and i would like to show ...My name is Wesley Brown and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zithromax.<BR/><BR/>I am 45 years old. Have been on Zithromax for 2 days now. I took this drug (generic azithro 500 mg bid) to get rid of an 2+ week old sinus infection that did not clear with decongestants and antihistamines. The drug made a substantial difference within 2 days. I'm a physician and needed to return to work, and the tiredness was just excessive, so I stopped the drug after 48-72 hours. The infection did not return. I would take this drug again if I needed to kill off an infection. I don't expect to feel good all the time. If a drug is making me healthy in a particular way, it's up to me to weigh that benefit against the cost of side effects.<BR/><BR/>I have experienced some of these side effects -<BR/>Fatigue. I just didn't want to move or get out of bed while on the drug; it was a bit hard to figure out that this was an effect of the medication rather than the sinusitis. Otherwise I was fine.<BR/><BR/>I hope this information will be useful to others,<BR/>Wesley BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414620.post-70121788027164101292008-03-05T18:15:00.000-05:002008-03-05T18:15:00.000-05:00dear angry asthma mama:my 4-year old son has dry, ...dear angry asthma mama:<BR/><BR/>my 4-year old son has dry, barking coughs every once in a while. They either result in red throat, reddened ears or an ear infection. for the past five days he's had a hacking cough - worse at night - complete with vomit. i went to the doc this am to find out what i could do to prevent and she diagnosed him with RAD and prescribed the breathing treatments - 4X day. I work and he goes to daycare and that won't work. so she said three. but when i went to the pharmacy they said each treatment needed to be 4-6 hours apart. and they told me 2 treatments a day would work. i'm so confused! which is it? but now i'm ready internet info on RAD and i'm really wondering if my son's condition is serious enough to warrent a breathing treatment. <BR/><BR/>how did you know that your son had RAD?<BR/><BR/>after reading your posts - i certainly feel for you. thank goodness boys love their mamas. <BR/><BR/>thanks,<BR/><BR/>dwritingsolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00496943161127513136noreply@blogger.com
