Excuse me Doctor, I have a patient who is a known case of CVA for 10 years duration. she developed fever a couple of days ago and I started Ceftriaxone and Clindamycin iv. Now after 8 days her fever is flactuating but has not been stoped and her mental status is not so good. What should I do for her now and what is your advice.Thanks a lot
Hi, fever is a symptom of some infection of URI, LETI, UTI, enteric infection, so accordingly tests are to be done and treated, get the tests TC, DC, ESR, BBC, TIDAL, PLATELET COUNT, etc. done and treat accordingly. Usual cause may be urinary tract infection, i in such situation prescribe lifetime 200 mg, BD To improve the resistance give her green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proline rich foods. Thank you.
