[|Human|] hi,my father has episodic asthma. Two days back he had high grade fever, severe cough,wheezing and productive cough. He went to hospital where he was nebulized twice, received iv steroids.After stabilising him doc prescribed him inhaler Salmicort and Salbo,half  theophyline tab twice a day and leflox 500mg od. Now he is feeling better but still has fever and episodes of productive cough.When he takes antipyretic fever goes down. He has also has BPH for which he is taking 5mg hytrin. what shld we do. should we wait and   continue the same antibiotcs or consult doctor plz  guide us about this. thanks
[|AI|]  If he is feeling better at this time this shows infection is resolving. But if he's still running Fever and have cough with sputum at least chest x-ray and sputum examination is must. He may have developed pneumonitis or pneumonia that we can only find out by x-ray. And if he does not respond to Aeroflot then its sputum examination and culture that will guide us in further treatment plan. So in my opinion you keep close watch on her symptoms for 2 to 3 days. If you notice any deterioration or no improvement please consult to your physician for further management. Hope this will help.
