hi! looks like your child has a nephrotic syndrome. if you have given treatment for 3 months and still protein is +++ it could be a steroid resistant type. you have to start her on alternative medicine along with low dose prednisone. you also have to get a kidney biopsy done to know the actual disease. please take care to avoid urinary and chest infection as these are very common in these children. regularly visit your doctor. don't skip medicine.
