I just started azithromycin 500 mg for inflammation on Monday . I am having a lot of mucus some of which is clear saliva looking. it gets really bad at night. How long does this normally take to start working . Is it immediate or takes time. I have been using ibuprofen in between the MWF dose. I just got off a week of ceftaz and vanc and levaquin. The inflammation started while on those . I think the ceftaz has some sulfa ingredients . I react the same way as far as inflammation to bactrim . I didnt have inflammation on the 2 weeks of meropenem and vanc in January . Should I suggest getting put on a low dose of steroid to slow down the mucus. I just got put on insulin so my dr may not be for this . But if she isn't I dont know how to slow down the inflammation if the azithromycin doesnt work. I cant take the ibuprofen long because of my GI issues. I just started Paxil last night so i don't want to start it right away to get double side effects . I already feel like im out of my body and dizzy.

azithromycin for inflammation

I started azythromycin a couple of months ago. It took 3 or 4 weeks before I noticed a difference. For me the mucus quantity didn't decrease, but it seems to flow from my sinus easier to get out with a sinus rinse. I was waking up in the mornings with really stuffy sinuses and now the mucus seems to be able to get out.
My smallest airways also improved on PFTs.
If you don't take probiotics you might want to start. About the time my GI system got used to the Azythromycin is when I think it started to help.

I take 20billion probiotics they are 40 dollars a bottle . Hopefully it will be enough. I don't normally have this much inflammation or mucus . Some sort of reaction that my crazy body has to ceftazadime made my lungs inflamed .I could tell the inflammation was there every time I got infused. I stopped it 1 day early because I got to where I couldn't breathe I was using hypersal 3 times a day . Now only using it 2 times and diluting it with regular saline. It's almost like a asthma attack especially at night it's pretty bad . Ive been taking ibuprofen , but I cant keep that up because of my GI issues (reflux). Thank you for responding to my post . I have been freaking out a lot lately . Just started Paxil 2 days ago for anxiety attacks cant sleep at all without taking 100 mg of trazadone and then I still wake up at 6 am every freaking morning.
