When you go for your appts. and your CT scan. You might want to ask the doctor about leviquin, I am not sure of the spelling. This is a hard hitting antibiotic that is used for infections that are really bad or don't want to go away. It is the top of the line kind of antibiotic, and I would question your doctor about it as a possible course of action. I am so sorry you have this infection, and I know how bad you feel. I was given this drug after an ear infection refused to go away in 6 weeks of pain. It worked for me, when other antibiotics failed. Just a thought to bring up to your doctor. I hope you are able to get rid of that infection. ginnie
