Title: First cold after transplant
Post by: willieandwinnie on September 06, 2008, 08:33:32 AM
Well, Len will celebrate 1 year tomorrow. :yahoo; I had to take him to our GP yesterday. Terrible coughing and sore thoart. Dr. Gill said it was good that I bought him because by Sunday it could of settled in his lungs. He put him on azithromycin, he took 2 yesterday and takes 1 a day for the next 4 days. The doctor said that if he wasn't better by Monday, he wanted to see him again. We are suppose to go Monday to DC to see the transplant folks for his 1 year checkup and meet with the trauma surgeon for some questions and concerns we have about this pain in his lower side and groin area. Len was running a 99.3 fever this morning but said his throat wasn't hurting as bad.

Have any of the transplant patient here had bad colds, if so what were you given or what did you do to to help the symptoms?
