As a pensioner I was given clarithromycin in place of biaxin because the dosage prescribed was 500mg and the pharmacy said the government does not cover pensioner for 500mg so they gave me the other drug at 250mg and double the prescription is this the correct thing to do to a senior will the other drug give the same effect on the pneumonia

my 14 year old son had a CRP of 329, Sed Rate of 89, WBC 10.3 hgb 11 g/dl low PCV blood 33%. he was diagnosed with a pneumonia - bottom of his top left lung. He was given rocephin for the pneumonia on the 2nd day through the 7th day with a fever of 103 through all of it, and he was in the hospital from day 4 through the 7th and then after. His hgb was slowly going from 10.7 to 9 gm/dl by the 7th day. His CRP prior to receiving any antiboitics was 12.5 mg/l and he has never every been over 20 mg/l with pneumonia. Can you tell from the above information what was happening from him?

I have just been released from the hospital rehab center after having spent 2 months in hospital with pneumonia (also had a couple of heart "attacks" for want of a better explanation). I went to the emergency room with coughing I could not stop to even breath normally. I do not have asthma or anything like that. I hadn't been feeling well for several weeks and had difficulty holding my food. I am 80 years old and I have been getting my flu shots and other vaccines as needed and was considered by the health department to be in good shape however they said I should get one more pneumonia shot which should last me the rest of my life (my family is long-lived so I may fool them yet) since I had had pneumonia as I was a greater risk than average. NOw my husband will not kiss or hug me as he feels I am contaminated by this disease. I really know very little about pneumonia except for the fact that it is rough on seniors.
