Suggest Remedy For Streptococcus Pneumonia Without Help From Steroids And Antibiotics
If my daughter has streptococcus pneumonia and has been on antibiotics and steroids and it is not improved, what do you suggest? She has been sick for 8 weeks and is becoming very depressed since she has no energy and is so tired all the time. THANKS!
I dont know wht steroids are given. Steroids are immunosuppressive in nature so usually not given in infection like pneumonia. I think you should go for sputum culture and sensitivity again or best is go for bronchoscopy and BAL examination. Also consider fungal infection as your daughter is not responding to routine antibiotics.
