Amikacin
I’ve been nebulising Amikacin for about 4 weeks after having 4 weeks of iv Amikacin ( along with other drugs- I’ve got Abscessus). I lost my voice initially for a full week and now that it’s back I’ve developed a really sore throat all on one side. Has this happened to anyone else?
I’ve had a throat swab taken and there’s no infection.

That seems common. My spouse was on the IV version for 4 months and then moved to the inhaled version. He’s been on it for about 2 months. He takes it in the late afternoon and is hoarse with a moderate sore throat for about 16 hours each day. Sometimes it helps to use tea or cough drops.

1 ReactionThanks for your reply. Will give the cough drops a try. I’ve been swallowing a spoonful of honey after each session .
