[|Human|] my daughter has and is being treated for salmonella. she has tightness in her chest difficulty breathing, a low grade fever of 96, and green phlegm, turning tan in color as the day progresses. she developed the salmonella 2 weeks ago, only a little diarrhea left, but shes very weak all over. the hospital prescribed her sulphamethoxazole. Prednisone, which she has only one more dose of to take. Potassium and promethazine. she refuses to go to the emergency room bc she doesnt want to wait and get cold, also because of the fact that she only has Medicaid and she feels that she doesn t get treated very well as a result. I am not able to be there with her and I am very scared for her. do you have any thoughts on this matter?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your daughters situation and problem. Possibility of bronchitis is more in her case. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways, and it is common after bacterial infection like salmonella. Her symptoms like breathing difficulty, low grade fever, greenish phlegm etc. are also suggestive of bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. She may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose herself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
