BronchoPneumonia
My father is suffering from severe fever, cough and phlegm since 10 days. Doctor has diagnosed BronchoPneumonia after test results.
CRP - 225
Chest x-ray results:
Both lung fields show mildly Increased bronchovascular markings.
Both hila appear prominent-?Vascular/Lymph nodes.
Doctor has prescribed Augmentin 625 antibiotic for 14 days.
After taking 5 days medicine, fever has come down to 99, CRP is 51 but chest x-ray shows same results.
I want to know is this treatment going in the right direction? Is there anything I should be concerned about? How many days will it take to reflect improvement in x-ray? Please let me know.
