Suggest Treatment For Chest Infection
My 91 year old mother is having pain in the bones in her chest. She has had a CT scan and the only thing they see is infection. She is taking a pain pill and steroid pills for the infection. She does not seem to be getting better. I took her to the emergency room on Tuesday. This is when they gave her the diagnosis and the medication. What else can I do.

Hi,
ER doctor might have prescribed antibiotic medicine so continue the same as advised.
Do not keep him lying down for long time, ask him to walk for short time or Change his posture frequently.
Do regular body sponge.
Give him enough water and liquids.
give him light diet.
Ok and take care.
