DH's continual/continuous chest infections seem to be misbehaving

[KatyMac]

At Papworth today the treatment DH has been getting does not seem to be working

So if in 6 weeks he hasn't had less infections he will either go on low dose constant A/Bs or intravenous A/Bs in hospital

So Dh isn't too worried - he tends to hear the bits he likes & ignore the rest - but I am slightly panic stricken about him being in hospital for some unspecified amount of time couple of hours away from home

So I am feeling a bit down

The only good thing is that apparently this infection thingie is not life threatening

Feeling a bit crap about this tbh

Just wanted to say I hope that he has no infections.

DS1 had a check up today and it was great, he has only had one infection since last time, so no more tests until he has rehad all his immunisations again

Thanks

I hope your DS is OK - how long is it since last time

DH has had 4 since Feb which mean 8 weeks of A/B

His last one was in April, but it tends to be viral and ABs have no effect, so we need to give him oral steriods.

That is a hugh improvement, 7 in the previous 6 months

Hence giving him all his immunisations again, as he seems to be imunosupprised. They took blood and tested his specific antibodies

Where is he being seen? is it Papworth too?

I relate to the 7 in 6 months - DH is on co amoxiclav - but I think they have no effect

Thanks - glad you are feeling better

Dh beat that 13 in 12 months....

No Katy we are oop north, so he is seen by a respoitory sepcialist here. I do feel for him though he is only just 3 and he lists his top and all that automatically now. The doc had to do everything again on DS2 today though - it took twice as long

Poor sausage - at least DH understands what is going on

Dh is not so hot today - which is a bummer as he is 10 days into 14 days worth of A-B's - we thought he would be getting better
