I have had Bronchiectasis for the last 4 years. On August 4 I started coughing up dark colored phlegm and blood. I did two rounds of 500mg Levaquin (allergy to Penicillin) along with Prednisone. My primary doc prescribed this. I can not get into see my pulmonologist until Sept. 18th. He has no openings. I am on a cancellation list. I am told to go to urgent care if I need to be seen sooner. I am on a steroid inhaler but no other treatment. I am still coughing up dark sputum and blood. Obviously there is infection, but could it be viral. Levaquin is a pretty powerful antibiotic. Not sure what to do at this point. Had a CT Scan and X-ray. CT showed worsening Bronchiectasis since the last scan 3 years ago with pockets of debris/infection.
Any advice.
