Dear Reader,
Please be advised that your blog-writer has been inactive for a number of days, because his medical doctor Dr Ran diagnosed him with bronchitis, prescribed some antibiotic because of his chest history, and some Panadols. Please excuse him for not having handed in any assignments this week.
When you have an elevated temperature and you cough up strange small alien creatures to the point that you’re amazed that there can be any left, Dr Ran explains that the little critters are extremely active and prolific.
I am sure that I must have had Bronchitis before, but I guess I’ve always lumped the cold, lung infections, sore throats and influenza as “a cold” if it was reasonably bearable, and as “the flu” when it turned into something requiring a stay in bed. Perhaps it is time to find out what Professor Goggle comes up with….
Roxithromycin is an antibiotic that belongs to a group of medicines called macrolides.
These antibiotics work by killing or stopping the growth of the bacteria that are causing your infection. Roxithromycin, like other antibiotics, does not work against viral infections
such as the flu. Dr Ran summarised with the explanation that the mediation will stop the bugs from multiplying and doubling their numbers (as they do), and this gives the body’s immune system a chance to get rid of the evil critters.
So, dear Reader, please excuse the lack of posts to this blog. We hope not to have caused any inconvenience.
