Joan, I used to have serious issues with chest infections not clearing with antibiotics, If you haven't done so try to get your doctor to run specific lab tests to better target the Antibiotic to your infection type.
My consultant did this for me - Transfered me to Doxycycline, and my infections are now normally gone in a single course

Nothing more annoying than to be sick when it's beautiful summer. No interest for anything else than lying in the bed.
The doctor phoned me back today, I took the last steroid today but still had Saturday and Sundays Antibiotics to take but he told me to stop them and he's given me another Antibiotic to take instead and will see how I am over the weekend. He said it's the underlying infection that is the problem.
I was on Amoxicillin 500mg 1 x 3 times a day. He's changed me to Clarie XL 500mg Prolonged Release Tablets Clarithromycin 1 a day.
Today is the fourth of July. For the majority of people, its a day for baseball, BBQ and being with their families. I like these things as well, but its also a time to reflect on all the trials and blood that was shed in order to form our nation! So I wish everybody a happy 4th of July, be safe and be grateful that you live where you do!!
