Came down with aspiration pneumonia in late February, 2010

In late February and early March of 2010, I was diagnosed by chest x-ray that I have aspiration pneumonia and was put on Cyprofloxin antibiotic for ten days and then was given two different antibiotics for another ten days, Mylan-Clarithromycin and Ratio-Axlavulanate. The latter two gave me diarreha and so I was tested for C-difficile. Will have another chest x-ray in six weeks.
CAUSE : I aspirated my saliva into my lungs as I have not eaten orally since Dec 2008.
