    Read this! Aggressive antibiotic treatments may not always be the best answer

    The subject of this topic does not surprise me. I support what Sarajerome states, listen to your body and recognise the signs of an exacerbation that may only need an increased course of oral A/Bs, not IV drugs. For many years I have started a combo/course of oral A/Bs that I know have the...
