Hi everybody that dreaded infection hubby on antibiotics yet again,no bcg this time hes waiting new appointments missed them again ..He was really poorly over weekend high temp and shivers,i wanted to call 111 but stubborn as ever waited to phone surgery monday,thankfully pills kicked in and he is getting better ..when you have a break in treatment you dare to think normal ..then wham bam its all back again ..Think its harder as we all run down with no hols and covid ..we must stay positive and hope that finish line is in sight x
Hi .Sorry to hear your husband has had another infection. Things just don't run smoothly sometimes. Good to know he is feeling better and the treatment may resume soon. Best wishes.
Hi and sorry to hear this. Always good to use lemon barley water to help flush out nasties. And My OH has not had another infection [after several previously] since taking cranberry tablets for a while. I will give him them again before and after the next checkup, I think however sterile the instruments, the disturbance leaves the tissues open to bugs settling that are coming through the system...
Hope he feels better and gets back on schedule soon.
Denby
Hi thank you your kind words, yes im going to get cranberry tablets,give them a go ...To be honest our surgery and hospital knew he had infection and between them took too long to perscribe pills ..everything seems different after covid .Can.t get through to surgery,and hospital could of been quicker !!!But our lives are in there hands thx again janet x
Good morning 1551 and sorry to hear about your husbands infection. I had exactly the same after my first BCG although the infection was not because of BCG. After antibiotics I was back on track the following week. When I think back to the event last February I recall the shivering and high temperature which lasted for about 3 days. I’ve had no further experience and completed the 6 BCG in May and found to be clear at that time, best wishes J
