Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 I can see how betadine rinse can be used in nose but what about when infection goes deep into the throat and then into the lungs situation. Not so easy. I see betadine rinses being mentioned for teeth and gum issues and in the skin but I don’t understand deep down stuff either. Can someone let me know if I am missing something. I see my PCP tomorrow and bringing list and will request to do a trial back on levaquin i.e. want to see if don’t get hives this time…and antifungal. I am currently just doing nebulizer every 4 hours and my peak flows are dropping way way way too low an hour or 90 min after treatment… Way way below red zone….

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 the lungs are scary. That's why I personally would consider the hospitalization. I mean you can surgically debride bone & sinuses, livers will regrow, you can live without a gall bladder or spleen or thyroid or appendix or teeth, but your lungs and your kidneys do not easily recover from damage once it's done. penny julie levitt <knightshotter@...> wrote: I can see how betadine rinse can be used in nose but what about when infection goes deep into the throat and then into the lungs situation.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Maybe a combo might be better, how about cipro and Biaxin? bleu On 12 May 2006, at 03:12, julie levitt wrote: > > Regarding: and will request to do a trial back on levaquin  below >  > Just found the lab report that said infection is resistant to > levofloxacin (levaquin/cipro).
