Omg!! I must be your hubby's long lost birth twin!!!
I had 5 colds and chest infections this year till June...chest infections never cleared properly. Had general antibiotic..never worked. Had double strength x2 from dentist for gum abscess that shifted the chest infection for a week, but not the pain in tooth. Went back again few weeks ago, as still had chest infection. Got given 2 more of the strongest (malaria fighting) antibiotics and got told that it would be steroids next...
Never had anything like this before. Infection never went, so now had chest X-ray, and whole of abdomen scanned as well today. Results fully back on Monday. I was also given a spirometery test to see if I had COPD or asthma.. All clear.
I've never had infections and colds like this ever, and always was proud of it.
So, not much help, but if infection doesn't go...go back to GP.
I think because we have an autoimmune deficiency it can impact, but personally until this year I have never had to think about not healing...30 years T1 and can't say that I have been any worse than my hubby for getting over colds until now.
Hope somebody else can come a long and say.... Just a one off for both of you....as it is not nice. Sorry, but I am actually glad to hear that somebody else has had a chest infection that they can't clear.
