Hi Ling,
I was on information overload...so he mentioned azithromycin (as an anti-inflammatory), but then clarified that it is our best drug for MAC relapse et al. Then mentioned Bactrim. Not sure where he is going to land. We have a followup in September before my trip. Wish I had pinned him down on that one. I'll try to send a note to his office and get back to you.

If I understand it right , you want to know how it is done. Sorry I am French lol
The doctor freeze my throat then put the beginning of the tube and I need to swallow Immediately put me to sleep lightly mediated but I feel nothing . It doesn’t take more than 10 min. For the whole process.
No medication for me neither. Never had any for it. I tried and used natural remedy. I do a lot of reading to find the best options with no secondary effects.
May I know why you needed to use bactrim. What bug do you grow? I don't think I have allergy to sulfa but bactrim was hard on me. May I know your bactrim dose. How is augmetin? better than bactrim?
I have been on Augmentin a couple of times. One thing to note is that it does not work for Pseudomonas so if that is your main issue you might not notice much change.

@sweethighland It was used as a broad spectrum antibiotic when I had bronch. flares. Often my sputum was not tested but when it was I often cultured Haemophilus influenzae.

I think that’s what I had done into a bronchoscopy and clean up debri in there.
Thank you very much. I have Burkholderia cepecia, which is very hard to treat 🙁
Do you feel better after Augmetin? I sometimes wonder if I might need broad spectrum antibiotic rather than specific. Thank you.
