Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Hi, you may not be able to get over the bronchitius with your current anitbiotic. You probably need to change it. I battled bronchitiius and sinus infections for years. Still get sinus infections but not the bronchitius. I would go back on antibiotics but a different strain.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Ann, I would let your doctor know you still have the infection. It often takes two rounds of antibiotics to clear up infections when I get them. Hugs, Sandy I have had bronchitis for a month now. I got it from my grandsons. But Ican't seem to be able to get rid of it. They had me on antibiotics for aweek. And I'm still on theophyllin. But they had to reduce the mg. I washaving a reaction to it. Do you think I should go back and get onantibiotics again. I know it takes longer for your body to get over things.But I do think a month is quite much.Would appreciate any input.Thanks,AnnDISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Ann, When your Dr. put you on Antibiotics the first time, did he just give you one or did he do a sputum culture to determine what the organism was and then give you an antibiotic? If not, that sounds like what you need to have done.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I would call, it more then likely is the estrogen you have for her. I say it is bad to sit back and do nothing at all. Worrying will make you sick. You are not crying wolf when you just want to know if something is right or not. We all have questions and not all of us are doctors. If we had a medical degree we still would have questions. So I say ask away and a good doctor is always open for questions. Briggs wrote: Hi everyone I have been trying to keep my eye on and for almost a week now I can't tell whether or not I seen an breast budding. She just started an estrogen cream and of course the doctor said that breast budding can happen. I thought I noticed something very little before starting the cream but also thinking that it may be in my head. Last night when we were about to give a bath my husband said to me is starting to bud? Should I call the endo for an examination? It appears that its the aerola and a little behind it that looks slightly " puffy. " and one side a little more than the other. Also I'm wondering if the scar down the front of her chest from her open heart surgery makes the breast bone look a little sunken in so that maybe the breast area looks a little puffed out. Anyone with advice or should I just play it safe and call the endo. I hate to look like a mother who " cries wolf " or who has false alarms but I don't want to be the stupid mother who does nothing when I should have.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 CALL!!!! I remember over and over again from the Dr. H presentations the last couple of years, her saying " for RSS and SGA kids, just remember that estrogen is the " EVIL " for these kids. " Researchers believe that somehow genetically these kids are " super- sensitive " to estrogen, and so react stronger. Hence early adrenarche. And teenagers, especially the boys, then carry extra weight in their bottom -- an estrogen-result thanks to us women. > > Hi everyone > > I have been trying to keep my eye on and for almost a week now > I can't tell whether or not I seen an breast budding.
