I guess he distinguishes pneumonia from non-pneumonia: Not serious?
What you have sounds serious enough based on his reaction to it, the meds, and the length of time you have been trying to get over this.
The antibiotic is good.
The Albuterol is good.
I'm a little concerned about the glucocorticoid steroid and its ability to effect mood even in small doses and even with Depakote on board.

i am slightly concerned about a drug/drug interaction between valproate and clarithromycin but ... if i start feeling drugged i'll check with pdoc on monday.
|
umm. . . . There is no "if." Call the pdoc on Monday to let him know about all the meds. 'Sorry to remind you, but you are not well. Keep the pdoc informed. You would give that advice to anyone here.
Most importantly, the pdoc knows more about your physical status than the family doc.
