Just started Tobramycin Sulf 40mg/ml Inj, 30ml for a serious lung infection. What should I expect?

I've just begun treatment with Tobramycin Sulf 40mg/ml Inj, 30ml for a severe lung infection. The doctor explained that it's a powerful antibiotic given by injection, but I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. I've read about the urgent and other possible side effects, and I'm trying to stay calm, but I could use some advice from others who have been through this. How should I prepare for the treatment, and what can I do to manage any side effects that might come up? Also, how long does it typically take to see improvements in the infection? Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Stay hydrated and monitor your urine output. I had some kidney issues with it, but catching it early helped a lot.

It's tough, but stick with it. I had horrible nausea, but my doctor prescribed something to help with that. Hope you feel better soon!

Did your doctor mention any specific diet changes? I had to avoid certain foods to minimize stomach issues.

I had some weird skin reactions, but my doctor said it was rare. Just something to look out for.
