Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Jenna, I can only tell you what we do in those cases. We put Eilish onto whatever for 10 days then if no better book in to the Cf Clinic. Then her Dr. there usually changes the med's. to another one or 14days. Then if still no better he treats aggressively with IV antibiotics. I know each country does it differently. We follow the Danish method of treating aggressively before lung damage is done. (Australia) junky cough If anyone out there can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Hannah, who is 20 months, had been on amoxicillin for three days, she had a nasty sinus infection, got diarrhea extremely bad, she was changed to Ceftin for an additional 14 days. She got off of the Ceftin on May 31. Over the past week and a half she had developed a wet, junky cough, no fever. Her tonsils are huge. Strep test came back negative. She is swalling all of the mucous, causing extremely thick, mucousy stool. She is doing albuterol every 4 hours and pulmicort with albuterol in AM and PM and chest pt 3 times a day. Symptoms are not being relieved after 4 days of all of this. Any suggestions? Should I take her to the CF clinic? Thanks, Jenna mother to Hannah 20 months w/cf, Shamus 6 1/2 nocf, a 4 nocf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
