With a relentless cough that was into it’s third week, I suspected that I may have had Bronchitis, but when the doctor said I had Pneumonia, it was hard to believe!… (Me, Clarissa Rizal has pneumonia!?\u00a0 How is that possible!?)\u00a0 He prescribed antibiotics of course and when I asked him what the side effects were, he hesitated for a moment and replied:\u00a0 “…nausea, vomiting, headaches, intestinal disorder…” to which I said to myself, “okay, no problem, I can take supplements that would counterbalance those disorders.” —-\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 After reading the clinic’s handout on the side effects of the antibiotic for Pneumonia; NOT!<\/p>\n

The Levofloxacin antibotic prescribed to me would not help rid me of the virus because (according to the clinic\u2019s handout they gave me): \u00a0\u00a0\u201c…an antibiotic is for a bacterial infection, not a viral infection. \u00a0Pneumonia caused by the flu virus may be treated with an antiviral medicine and most other viral infections must run their course \u2013 viral infections will not respond to antibiotics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, we got that straight:\u00a0 the antibiotics the doc prescribed me will not work because I have the viral pneumonia as opposed to the bacteria pneumonia.\u00a0 So back to the side effects the doc mentioned.\u00a0 Well…according to the three-page hand-out the clinic provided for me about the antibiotic, here is the comprehensive list of the ADDITIONAL, real side effects, and mind you I quote this info right off their hand-out sheet:<\/p>\n
