[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing is monitoring for signs that the antibiotic isn't working. A fever coming back, difficulty breathing, increased lethargy, nausea and vomiting, or any signs that he's getting worse should be a trip to the doctor. Also, he should 100% not be waiting until December for a follow up. Does he not have a PCP at all? Or was it his PCP who said December? [/quote] +100000 OP I don't want to scare you but it can get into other organs, cause sepsis. It's important to have the right antibiotics and monitor their efficacy. You should get a referral to an infectious disease specialist or pulmonologist. You cannot wait until December. Don't let the hospital slide on this. Not mentioning follow up is borderline negligence. If your primary care doctor is indifferent follow up with the surgeon. But please be an advocate for DH. [/quote]
