What criteria for IV antibiotics

[Guest guest]

I was curious what criteria everyone's doctors used for deciding

when to start IV antibiotics. has been having problems with

her saturations again and we are seeing pulminary tomorrow. She has

started with a cough but it isn't too bad yet. We did IVs in late

May and that cleared her up for a while and I'm disappointed to even

be thinking about them again. She has also been having a horrible

time with her weight again. For a while she was gaining and even

got over 20 lbs but has just had one thing after another since May,

including several stomach bugs and is now under 18 lbs again. I

don't know what we are going to do about it. A

Anyway, I was really just curious to find out what other docs used

to decide when to do it.
