Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Eilish's Dr. rang today and said her sputum showed Hemophilus Influenza and Pneumonia. They did mention what type but I cant remember. He said that it was resistant to all but IV antibiotics. But after being on Rulide her cough has gone. He said to keep her on it for another 2 weeks then stop it and see if her cough returns. If it does then IV's again. What a year it's been. How dangerous is Pneumonia in Cf Kids?
