[|Human|] Hi Doctor, Im being treated for Veridians Streptococcus. Have been for over a month now. At first I was given 5 days of Amikacin in injection form 1gr/per day. I had no signs of improvement and was then prescribed Cefalotin for 5 days, injectable 1gr per day. I completed three days of this and went back to the doctor because this also had no beneficial effects whatsoever and I was prescribed 10 days of 750mg tabs of levofloxacin. Im five days into treatment and yet again no signs at all of improvement. I went to another doctor today to get a second opinion and he told me to discontinue use of levofloxacin and start with a 5 day treatment of ceftriaxone injections at 1gr (which I havent done yet) At this point Idont know what to do or who to believe.... My symptoms are not severe or very discomforting in terms of pain, difficulty swallowing etc.... In fact if I hadnt looked in my throat about a month ago and seen the white lump on the side of my throat I would of never suspected I had Strep, as it only tingles a bit here and there. During this time it has niether spread, or become bigger/smaller. The only new symptom recently is a sporadic wheezing cough. I would l really appreciate any input that could lead to finally getting rid of this.
