What sickness could this be from my symptoms? (wheezing, coughing, diarrhea)?

Question:

I have been experiencing wheezing and coughing and diarrhea for a little less than a week. I am on antibiotics, prednisone, and albuterol. What do you think this is? I am not sure that it is plain old asthma. I have told people about the wheezing and the coughing but not the diarrhea. Do you think I should tell someone about that?

Answers:
what was the anti-biotic for? what were your symptoms before the doctor put you on anti-biotics?

diarrhea sounds like the side-effect in the anti-biotics -- very common side-effects among other medications. i bet it'll stop as soon as you finish taking your anti-biotics

let the doctor know in your follow-up check up

Other Answers:
Did your doctor rule out an allergy?

The weezing could be from an allergy and causing the coughing, while the diarrhea could be a result of the antibiotics. You might want to examine what you have eaten lately as well as anything new you have come in contact with. You should also get a chest xray and a cbc to rule out other possibilities. Meanwhile, drink lots of fluids to avoid dihydration.

As far as telling people about the diarrhea, if you are referring to doctors, then by all means yes. Be sure to tell a doctor of any and all symptoms you may be experiencing. It may be a side effect of the medications you are taking. Or you may have one or more problems taking place. The coughing and wheezing seem to be going hand in hand. You may be experiencing an upper respiratory infection. That may be why your doctor prescribed you antibiotics. The diarrhea may be a side affect of the medication. You may want to check with your doctor to let him / her know if you having any new symptoms since he / she prescribed the medication you are taking.

Give your course of treatment more time, you haven't been on it long enough.

Are you considered morbidly obese? Morbid obesity can lead to cases of refractory wheezing (wheezing that does not improve with bronchodilators). Also some steriods can cause the refractory wheezing. If your treating physician's care is not helping you, get a consult with a pulmonologist.

Good luck.

Diarrhea is a very common side effect of antibiotics it kills bad bacteria as well as the good kind that make you GI Tract work so this is very likely the cause of you problem as for the other symptoms wheezing and coughing the prednisone and albuterol are likely to address them

I would assume that you have a lung problem,such as asthma or other lung disease.You may need to change to a different inhalant, the antibiotics can cause the diarrhea. and yes, you should tell your doctor.
