How Can Asthma And Breathing Difficulty Be Treated?

My doctor just prescribed levaquin for me for the first time. I have a cold which is now in my lungs? I have asthma and copd. It s difficult to breathe but I still try to walk around to loosen the phlem. No fever, just short of breath. I heard levaquin wasn t a good antibiotic cz I have arthritis, carpul tunel, scoliosis, etc. Past 2 years I ve had 4 hip replacements and lower back surgery. Please let me know if a different antibiotic should be used.

Since you have had hip replacement sugeries as well as other orthopaedic problems its bette rto avoid LEVAQUIN. In place of LEVAQUIN you can take other antibiotis as in TAB GUDCEF CV or TAB AUGEMNTIN 625 mg two times a day. And along with the antibiotic you can take mast cell stablisier.
the medicines you can take are
1. TAB GUDCEF CV 1 tab two times aday after meal
2. TAB HISATFREE M one tab a day
3.INHALER as advised
4. SYP BRO ZEDEX three times a day.
