Question 8

can clydamycin be used to treat bronchitis? i've seen the drug has coverage for pneumonia, but no description specifically mentions bronchitis.

NO......: Unless you have special situation like oral sex relate......It is a antibiotic of frequent bad side effect, so use is selective.

Question 9

my 2 year old son was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday, the 21st. i wanted to know when should i take him back to the emergency room? he is taking all his medicines.

Accepted Answer

ER: The er is not the place for a follow-up visit. Make an appointment to see a pediatrician and establish a lasting relationship with a doctor that you relate to and trust and let them care for your son.  Actually, if your son is better right now and completes his medications it may not be necessary for an immediate revisit.  Make the effort to find a pediatrician. Good luck and hope he stays well.

Question 10

how can i cure pneumonia at home? cannot afford doctor's appointment or buying expensive medicines?

Accepted Answer

: You cannot know if you have pneumonia without seeing a health professional. But if simply not possible and symptoms are typical (fever, cough usually producing sputum, often chest pain, sometimes breathing difficulties), azithromycin usually would be effective. A standard regimen is 500 mg intially, then 250 mg daily for 4 more days. But do try to get care, especially if fever or short of breath.
