Patient's question:
My child has nephrotic syndrome and was treated at the hospital. After going home, the hospital prescribed hormone medication for him. After taking it, my child constantly complains of headaches and stomach pain, occasionally coughing. After examination, it was said that the infection was caused by a cold. The blood test results showed high levels, so the doctor prescribed cephalosporin. After three days of injections, the blood test results still didn't improve, but my child no longer has a headache or a runny nose. However, he still has some stomach pain, coughing, and yellow phlegm. His hands and feet are also warm. Does this have anything to do with nephrotic syndrome? Does it have anything to do with the medication? I am seeking an answer. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
From the current condition of the patient, it is likely that the abnormality is caused by an upper respiratory tract infection and is unrelated to kidney disease. It is recommended to continue antibiotic treatment to address the symptoms and completely eliminate the inflammation and infection.
