Suggest Treatments For Early Stage Of Pneumonia
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My son was prescribed Predcort for and Klaracid. It was also recommended that he takes the Ventolin Inhaler for a week. We were told that he has an ear infection that was never cleared up which subsequently lead to the throat infection. He also had a very heavy cough and the doctors advised that he has an early stage of Pnemounia. How can I help to ensure that the Pnemounia is properly treated and the infection is cleared up? Can I bathe him daily and is the fan and aircondition o.k. or should i discontinue until he is fan? What should I do? Also are there any steroids in prednisolone?

Hello
I understand your concern.
You explain that pneumonia is in the beginning, if yes Klaritromic is the proper treatment. Prednisolone in se is a cortisonic medication. It helps in chronic ear infection and in pneumonia too lowering the swelling of the airways. As a result the cough will be better and the ear infection too.
Air condition is not so well recommended in pneumonia caused.from a specific bacterial agent but in Comunity aquared pneumonia there is no against facts.
So i wish good health for your son
Thank you
