i called the ambulance twice on mino because i thought i will suffocate and/or have a heart attack. in my case it had nothing to do with the breathing but with the heart, bacteria dies in the heart and creates a storm of immune response and it makes your heart beat erratic and inefficient. so in my case it was a herx.
2 and half weeks is too little in my opinion to kill the bug. i would ask your LLMD for advice. i can tell you what helped me but im not a doctor and it's risky to treat yourself online.
so i would do this
- visit an ENT to see what is with that fluid u describe
- do an EKG to check u don't have some serious problems with the heart
- do an O2 test to see blood O2 levels
- for heart rhythm problems u can take CoQ10 100mg, but DO NOT TAKE it if u also take mepron or malarone
- also magnesium helps but not with the antibiotics, magnesium and calcium can interfere with absorption
besides this you can read our new to lyme and search the page after the word "detoxing"
