hi irenea8 , my name is pam am I username is p1000 , While I was in the hospital in June for six days, I was on IV antibiotic called Vancomycin & Zosyn after six days, I was released with a midline to continue at home for 10 more days. with the Zosyn .. I had a terrible cough and it definitely seem to help the cough. But when I went back to the doctor after two weeks and took another sputum test, I found out five days later the results came back pseudomonas .. I now continue to do airway clearance two times a day And then use the aerobika .. I think with pseudomonas you have to keep it under control and with the airway clearance it does help.. stay well and have a happy Thanksgiving happy holidays, Pam from Staten Island 🙋♀️😎👋🏻

Thanks Pam. I know the Zosyn is commonly used IV for Pseudo but not usually Vancomycin. I wonder why they included that. So you did the 16 days but still tested positive for Pseudo afterwards. That is not uncommon. I think people only get rid of Pseudo if it is caught early enough and the treatment is aggressive enough. I guess what I wondered is if the IV treatment made any real difference for you in terms of your pseudo symptoms. Do you feel it knocked it back and if so how long did that improvement last? Were you doing airway clearance prior to the IV treatments?
