exacerbation after dental visit
There are now more than eight months since my last LVRS, respectively. Lobectomy passed. The winter was hard and I left the house at that time before. In March, I had to go to the dentist. A few days later I started coughing and had purulent sputum. - I had infisziert bacterial, the dentist. Now for the second time, and the state in the dental clinic in the "clean" Switzerland. A few days later I had 38 degree fever and could hardly move forward. As my doctor recommended I immediately started steroids (prednisone) and antibiotics (Avelox). On the same evening, I felt so bad that I called the ambulance and the hospital let me deliver. - The investigations were very superficial and deviated greatly from the recommendations of the ERS (European Respiratory Society) from. It was also said I had no bacterial infection and the antibiotics should take no more. The next day they fired me home. I was half naked set at 8 degrees to the door. Thus, the emergency department of the University Hospital Basel. - To my written complaint has not even responded. Shock!
As a result, I had contact with my family physician and pulmonologist. Both me, recommended the further use of antibiotics and cortisone. - It took a total of about three weeks until improvement. It was the longest so far exacerbation. Any exacerbation in the past and in the Asian countries was from the doctors there within 3 - 5 days successfully treated. Too bad that in Switzerland - at these high costs - no better treatment is possible.
