Tobramycin inhaled side effects.

Posted by sarahlynn1960 @sarahlynn1960, Jul 24 7:44pm

I’ve been on it abt 8 days.
1. When does the lung mucus (new with Tobramycin) slow back down?
2. How about the mouth sensitivity to any “zesty” food. Even mustard. Plus just general mouth irritation. (I do rinse and gargle several times afterwards)
3. Also feeling of upper chest tightening, (but O2 sat is fine).
4. Do u get used to it, or is it an entirely new acclimation each time you start it back up after skipping a month?
Thanks!!

Were you an active on your feet? Also did this happen while taking the Cypro or after affect?

I was diagnosed with the pseudomonas on June 19 but who knows how long I actually had it before. I came off the 16 month big 3 in March then bronchioscope showed this up. My pulmonologist dr. Wanted to put me in Cypro and tobramcyn right away but infectious disease dr. Was against it, but my doctor over ruled and now almost finished my first 28 days. 56 more to go. Will continue as long as can tolerate the coughing and extra mucas as am playing the optimum card to get this thing eradicated.
