Suggest Alternate Treatment For Klebsiella Aerogenes
A 3,5 months old baby was diagnosed with klebsiella aerogenesa. The doctor prescribed a sirup, which cannot be found in pharmacies, and doesn't recommend injections, as they "might hurt other organs". How can parents help their child, what should they do?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
For klbsiella infection you may try ciprofloxacin in consultation with your doctor.
But it has some side effects like it affects the growing cartilage.
You have to carefully weigh the risks and the advantages.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
