Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My father is in ICU (intubated ventilator) since one week for severe pneumonia/bronchitis with fungal and bacterial infection in the lungs and is on below mentioned medication. B -cagin (Micafugin) injection, Elores 1.5 gm injection started recently, Tigefic plus injection, and Moxidac 100 ml. Please guide whether the above medication is fine or some other treatment can be tried?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, your father has been suffering from pneumonia with bacterial and fungal infections Along with hypoxia. now your father is in ICU with an incubated ventilator. His past history was cough with phlegm. Firstly, he has been treated for jaundice, then developed pneumonia and subsequently hypoxia. According to the investigation reports provided (attachment removed to protect patient identity), reveals right-sided consolidation due to pneumonia caused by either bacteria or viral with hypokalaemia (low potassium levels) but his oxygen saturation rate is 97% which indicates no hypoxia is present at this moment. Your father's current medications which are using now such as injection B-Cagin (Micafungin) is antifungal in therapeutic class using for severe fungal infections, Elores 1.5 gm injection is a combination medicine using for treating various types of bacterial infections, Tigefic plus injection (Tigecycline) is an antibiotic medication using for skin, abdominal, and lungs infections, injection Moxidac is a quinolone antibiotic using for bacterial infections, Lornit injection is a nutritional supplement using for protecting the liver from harmful chemicals or free radicals and managing liver disorder like acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of liver, hepatic encephalopathy, etc. So I think his current medications are sufficient for covering his present conditions. Only potassium supplements or potassium enriched foods can be added as its level is low. I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
