645390 tn?1338555377 I would give it a try. If you can tell them how your doctor in Cleveland would handle it that might help. Ask them to call your doctor, since it's after hours have them call your doctor's answering service, to get the details on how to treat you. You need tx now and not wait until you make the 700 mile drive home. Please seek help.

Avatar f tn If you have studied MG at all and all the research that is out there you’ll know that Lefamulin holds the hope of many for the treatment of not only pneumonia but also the atypical type of bacteria that cause infections. Believe me, the last thing I’m going to do is try to give false hope. That’s not my motivation. If you are outside the US, and suffering from MG, if you haven’t tried long term minocycline, that may be worth a shot.

Avatar n tn Most pneumonia is infectious, and is most times caused by strep bacteria, so they throw antibiotics at it, and see how the patient responds, there are more aggressive atypical bacterial pneumonia that may require more aggressive treatment, also a persons age, and strength of their immune system is a major factor as well. But there are also viral, fungal, or less commonly parasitic causes of pneumonia. None of which is affected at all by antibiotics, each has it's own unique treatment.
Avatar f tn Patricia, if you are talking about Hep C treatment meds, it mainly depends on the genotype as to how long one must take the treatment meds. Once a person tests undetectable for Hep C while taking the treatment meds, they must still continue to take the treatment meds until the end of the pre-determined treatment schedule; typically 24 weeks for Geno 2 and 3 and 48 weeks for geno 1. Of course, if one does not get an undetectable test soon enough, treatment will be terminated early.

Avatar m tn Aspiration pneumonia is a result of constant acid reflux into the stomach. You've probably haven't developed it yet, and you'll be probably fine, when you control your stomach infection, since this should stop your burping. Aspiration pneumonia can be only prevented, not really treated. Steroids maybe, but I guess, you don't have pneumonia already.
1784564 tn?1314871563 You will need a transplant to continue living. Each person is different so it can not be predicted how long this process will take and what other complications of liver disease you will experience. It is vitally important that you have a good hepatologist to manage your care. There are many things you need to do when you are in this state of health. Too many things that I can mention here. Here is a link to a very good overview of cirrhosis and its treatment. http://transplant.surgery.ucsf.
Avatar m tn re manufactured by cholesterol and the liver regulates how well the body handles fats. As for how long herbal medicine takes, a general rule that used to be tossed around is one month for every year it took to get the problem, but of course it's very individual. Chinese medicine is usually healing by stages, so it doesn't attempt to work quickly; instead it aims to cure, which takes longer and might not work, as there is not guarantee in any form of medicine.
Avatar n tn Make sure you take vitamin D3. Use an expectorant and observe the color of the sputem. As long as it is yellowish you have an infection. Make a daily log of the color. Many physicians never ask to see the sputem. I have an issue with that. Be carefull with use of blood pressure medications. High blood pressure in such a case is compensatory, and many make the decision to endure the high blood pressure while you have the infection.
Avatar n tn Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
