65 year old male former smoker
best begin with my language barriers with staff at local Thailand hospital.
treated for “bacterial lung infection” determined from blood presumably was pneumonia January 1
5 days intravenous antibiotic 1 x per day for 5 days + regimen Sudafed, Ambroxol.
Breathing difficulty never really seemed to clear.
Recently sustained “minor cold” about 2 weeks ago that with coughed mucous turning greener returned to hospital.
This time prior to reviewing chest x-ray taken doctor had me on nebulizer for 3 vials and perhaps miscommunicated intention of another antibiotic intravenous regime, because the only thing close was one injection of something in my hand.
I see the doctor again after presumably reviewing the x-ray
Prescribed Advair 2x per day, Berodual inhaler for any serious breathing difficulty.
Ambroxol 30 mg tablet 3x daily
Zertec 10 mg 1/ day
PREDNISOLONE 10 mg. 3x daily, but NO ANTIBIOTIC.
This morning coughing not as frequent, but mucous turning greener.

Medications: Prednisolone, Ambroxol, Zytrec, Advair
