I can't help but go for DFK and DATY, and I've paid for it. In my last trip to Peru, my chica gave me something that knocked me down for two days. Went up to a 103 fever, and I'm sure it was from DFK. Just got back from CTG and something similar happened. First my throat got sore, then it moved down into the lungs, and had an occasional fever, and a diminshing cough with loogies that lasted 3 weeks now (sorry for the overhshare) . Finally I'm back to normal.
Been to the doc but he didn't find anything. But w/o doubt the mouth is a foul place, and I've gotten some viral infection from chicas. And one of them was a non-pro. But the risks and dangers are worth it. For the next 6 months, I will work on boosting my immune system b4 the next journey.
FYI: my doc says that ciproflaxin is only useful for the stomach down, not useful for bronchial issues, which I assume are more viral than bacterial. Naxopren can be helpful for symptom relief in this kind of dis-ease.

Any way you slice it, the mouth is a foul place. It's loaded with organisms, bacteria and viruses. You're worried about the asshole she reamed just before she slipped her wet tongue in your mouth? The girl next door's throat could kill you too, or at least cause you to have an emergency tracheotomy if she transmits epiglotitus, or some other viral infection.
Believe it or not, people die every year from kissing. They also die from falls in the tub and lightening. Want to hedge your bets? Don't bathe, go outdoors, or kiss.
Can I assume you went to the doc and were not symptomatic? I say that because if you did see a doc with the symptoms you described and he said he couldn't "find" anything I would change docs in a heartbeat. The minimum standard of care would to have written a script for a broad spectrum antibiotic considering your complaints.
You could have caught what you had from a chica... or you could have brought it with you. Then... there's always the plane. A long tube packed with 150 - 200 people and a poor air filtration system. Bingo!
Respiratory issues can be viral, but just as easily they can result from a bacterial infection and usually do. Cipro would not be the drug of choice like your doc said. The best antibiotic is the one that shows the greatest effectness against whatever bacterial strain one has contracted. That, though, is the result of sputum cultures which are generally not done unless whatever is prescribed in not effective... considering the illness is bacterial related to begin with.
Naproxen is effective at reducing fever (I prefer ibuprofen) and the general aches and pains associated with a respiratory infection like you said. I would have made my way into a local clinic instead of trying to tough things out though.
