Best Antibiotic to Take??

I can't seem to get over an upper respiratory infection.  I had it for the last two weeks and there are no signs it is getting better.  It's probably developed into bronchitis at this point.  I was hoping to avoid antibiotics but might have no choice.  I don't want Z-pack as it always messes with my guts and has yet to work on the first attempt.  Normally have to do two courses. 

Anyone have suggestions for a relatively gut friendly antibiotic?? 

I took Tavanic (levofloxacin) for similar reason but at the time i had much worse respiratory infection symptoms and over a longer period, and it didn't effect my UC at all.

i would give it 1~2 more weeks before resorting to antibiotics unless you're on strong immunomodulator.

I've used Septra (Bactrim) without problems, as well as Zithromycin, amoxicillin and Clavulin.

always make sure you take probiotics.

You don't have an issue with sulfa do you?

it's a twice a day pill....excreted through the kidneys, so make sure you drink enough water (it should list that on the bottle as well). If you don't, you might get a headache...and you'll know you forgot to take in enough water.

Are you on a 7day or 10day course?

Feel better soon,

Thanks Q-it's a 10 day course of meds.
