 Donot follow any prescription just because it was mentioned at this site. The consultation didnot take place, as the doctor has not examined the patient, legally its impossible to give any online prscription. What the doctor had written here is not a prescription for the given hypothetical case.

​A Doctor Cant be Your Enemy, unless you make him One! Trust your doctor; have faith.
a doctor will lose faith and feel legally insecure when treating a patient unless you give legal immunity to the doctor. Judgement of a doctor depends on his personal.knowledge belief and experience. if the patient or relative has any questions you get addressed but if u doubt your doctor.. its better you quit the doctor. all because legal insecurities make a doctor behave like a machine or clerk to just keep on maintaining records or manipulating them for legal safety and at times under treating or over treating a patient for legal safety... all this will in turn may affect the outcome of patient... and can be more harmful than otherwise when the doctor would have been at his natural best.

Pediatric consultations and advice in difficult cases and diseases affecting children upto age 18 years. Second opinion clinic, pediatric respiratory and neurology consultation clinic Dr Kondekar's Postulates Every disease often presents in typical bookish picture... cos these books are written with decades of observations and research. if not so, either we havent read the books or may be its time to go.. read.. or write about If a disease doesnot improve with therapy; any of following is likely that... 1. If diagnosis is right .. we are surely missing some complications 2. If not so then the treatment of choice is either wrong,inadequate, and incomplete in drugs or dose or duration. 3. If not so..then most likely diagnosis is wrong or incomplete. A twist in diagnosis can bring dramatic results. 4. if not so.. then we need some patience and time for same or new treatment and its effect. All diseases do not have complete cure; but there is lot more to do in almost every case to improve quality of care and therapy.
