Minnietoty,
I am sorry you are going thru this. My friend who caught Covid 8 weeks ago is going thru the same thing. They just keep switching her meds and she is taking zofran and Pepto or Mylanta like they are candy. Her doctors don't know if her IBD disease or Covid is what is causing her to struggle with the antibiotics. She still has a hard time breathing and sounds raspy. She says her lungs hurt with every breath.
In 2015 I suddenly developed "allergies" to penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, flagyl, bactrim, and Ciprofloxin... Sometimes it was severe diarrhea, sometimes vomiting and with IV flagyl... I stopped breathing. (Thank God I was in the hospital for that one..) I used zofran, antidiarrheal meds, and a bunch of calmoseptine. (My bottom was raw). It took me 3 months to make headway with my infection and 6 months before it was gone.
Fast forward to 2022.. I can now take Cipro, Bactrim, Penicillin, Erythromycin, and Flagyl in pill form for 7 to 10 days only then I have to stop for 2 weeks. So when I have an infection we have to switch meds. My GI, CRS and PCP fear a resistant bacteria will develop because of my issues. (That's why I had surgery in 2021.) They also believe that my active disease triggered the allergic reactions and that since my body has healed some it is more accepting now. They hope it continues to improve. At the end of the 10 days I sometimes still resort to using zofran, Pepto, and calmoseptine.(and eating rice which usually really slows me down)
Please let us know what your doctor says. I worry about this and I wonder if my doctor's are correct or if there is something we are missing.
Saying prayers for you.

Did your doctor give you any steroids for your lungs? Or a nebulizer? My friend got both this week.
