Could I be having a reaction to Advair?
In Sept I started Advair. Within 5 days my voice was high pitched and my head was stuffy. I took it for 1 week (now 24 puffs) and I had a sinus infection with ear infections and bronchitis. I stopped the Advair and started cefuroxime & methylprednisolone along with mucinex. After this regimen I was any better. The Dr. then prescribed augmentin and hycodan syrup. I've had a chest x-ray that was negative. Now it is December, I still have the bronchitis/sinusitis along with laryngitis. I cannot speak at all, still coughing/gagging from drainage/scratchy throat/congested head. So now the Dr has prescribed the z-Pac and has scheduled me with an allergist. I have mentioned the Advair several times and wonder if this didn't cause my problems since it all started within five days of first puff.
