Hi everyone! I just completed my second round of antibiotics for bacteria in my lungs, and they didn't work. I first was on Bactrin, then Cipro. I had 2 days of feeling well, then my low grade, 99 degree temp came back with its aches and chills. It arrives at 5 pm and lasts about 2 hours. I will report this to my Infectious Diseases doctor and he will probably want to put me on another antibiotic. Does anyone know of a drug that doesn't cause diarrhea? I'm sure he will want to treat this. robynmar

Robynmar, I just read your post and wanted to say I've had close to similar situations with what you describe -- Bactrim and Cipro. What works for me a clindamycin and a probiotic (30 million size) -- any brand ---- and I get along with that and it works for me. Again, it really depends on which type bacteria they are trying to treat. Levaquin is another possibility -- but I would go for the clindamycin -- 150 mg 4 times daily ----- or you can do 300 mg twice -- I've done both. Hope this helps
