My husband 72 yrs was on antibiotics for 18 mths with Mac. He has bronchiectasis with pockets in lung so harder to completely clear it up.
He was taking Rifadin, Myambutol, Erthromycin 18 MTH course.
Good for a while the cough came Back. He is now on Doxycycline. Good for 6 weeks then got cough back. He went to ok hosp with possible siesures. Hot flushes and terrible feeling in head. No pain no headache no fever blood pressure good.
Brain scan showed a lrg cyst on front temporal lobe. He had an infection as white cells and CRP levels up..He was put on Augmentin. He improved within a day and white cells and CRP levels back to normal. He is having a MRI in a week's time so that may help explain what's going on.
