So how long does recovery normally take?
I have a 15 y.o. who is 3 days into same 10 day Augmentin regimen -- also no instruction on expectations for recovery.
I, too, am suffering currently almost exactly the same symptoms you describe happening to your partner.I can truly sympathise. I am a 29 yr old woman, and am on my third lot of 10 day antibiotics, am soo tired, am still having trouble breathing, have a terrible cough that only stops when I am physically sick, and still do not feel at all well. I, too, am seeking info on recovery time and advice to help me on my way to health again. I hope your partner is on his way to feeling much better now, as I have only read your comments now in December. Good luck.
Your partner should inform his doctor that he is still taking rapid shallow breaths, is very easily tired, and still has chest tightness. A follow-up chest X-ray would be helpful in comparing the condition of his lungs now with his earlier chest X-ray. Being seen by a lung specialist (pulmonologist) and possibly an infectious disease specialist could help with his continuing symptoms.
Why no answer? all the other queries seem to have been answered but nothing to this one, please help
