Question: My mom had a cough in November month 2019, we took her to a ENT doctor who diagnosed her with brocantics, she came home did the treatment and was not imporving he then started to treat her for alergies also, still no improvement.
in January we took her to a regular doctor he ask for her history and we told him she smoked in her younger days, he took a look at her x-ray and said its probably cancer and there is nothing that can be done. He give her some steroids and sent her home. Around February she started to bring up a lot of sputum we took her to theoretical surgeon where he diagnosed her with pneumonia, he put her on antibiotics awaiting a culture test, when the culture test came back he started to treat her with Ciprofloxacin, 5 days after she started she was still getting worst so he administer her to the hospital where they give her some more powerfull antibiotics, she was feeling better and they released her 5 days after and she contunied the Ciprofloxacin. At the beginning of Match she was back to her old self coughing alot and being up alot of sputum and her shortness of breath keep getting worst, The doctor decided to do a CT Scan for Canger,
The CT Scan came back "Activity represents extensive pulmonary interstitial pneumonitis" " no mesiastinal mass is detected "tne mediastinal vessels and heart are grossly within normal limits, Visualized brests are morophologically normal". He kept her on the same course of antibiotics since he said that show the most from the culture test. She still cuntine the same way.. he did a bronchoscopy last Saturday, the patalogy lab said no signs of cancer and I am awating the medical results today.
I have over 10 Chest X-Ray scans, 1 CT Scan, 1 Bronchoscopy test. Still she doesn't seem to be getting better, and all he has her on is the antibiotics .
Current Medications she is taking
Ciprofloxacin 500mg (3 months + on this antibiotic)

Brief Answer:
Inhalers and oral bronchodilator drug are advisable in her case.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the detailed history you have given.
By your history and description possibility of chronic non resolving pneumonia is more likely.
Along with Ciprofloxacin, she needs inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral bronchodilator, Acebrophyllin is also useful in her case.
Oral N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also recommended in chronic non resolving pneumonia.
It will be of great help if you can send me picture of bronchoscopy and last chest x ray.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Yes add clindamycin 300mg twice daily.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, replace ciprofloxacin with clindamycin 300mg twice daily.
Also stop doxycyclin tablet as it is already 3 weeks.
I don't understand your inhaler related question.
For possible COPD, she needs to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is showing obstructive defect then COPD is likely.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks

Hi Doc
You have recommended her using inhalers?
This is what you said in your first reply
"Along with Ciprofloxacin, she needs inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral bronchodilator, Acebrophyllin is also useful in her case.
Oral N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also recommended in chronic non resolving pneumonia."
Do I need to get the above and how do I use it if I get it?
Please advise

Good Morning Doctor
I have attached a picture of the inhaler I bought
Question 1: How often should she use this inhaler?
Update on her,
Coughing: Increased in the past 6 days
Shortness of Breath: Same
Sputum: With the change in medication 48 hrs after there is a 15-20% reduction in the amount of sputum but she has reported it seems a bit thicker than regular and she is coughing more to bring it up
Question 2: (Is this a good sign or a bad sign?)
Her taste for food had returned a little since you took her off the Ciprofloxacin.
Question 3: What are early signs to look for to know if the new course of medication is working?

And encourage more food and water intake.

Give twice daily.
Do gargles after taking inhaler.
This are good signs.
