What Is The Treatment For Streptococcus Bacterial Infection?
Hi, my mother is not feeling well. She is suffering from lung problem we did sputum test and doctors are telling that it is a streptococcus bacteria. She also has vomiting problem. Doctors are giving perinorm injection and decdan injection. Can you please tell me why they are giving those injections

Hello,
Perinorm is an anti-emetic(it stops vommiting in a patient). Decdan is a steroid. Amongst the things that steroids do is promote healing and repair and also prevent any adhesions that the bacteria may have caused the lung to form leading to difficulty in breathing. The doctors would have also used a round of antibiotics initially to counter the bacteria.
I hope this helps otherwise feel free to get back to me.
Thank you for your query.
