I read on at another news group that pneumovax is now being given to
children for protection against ear infections. In addition, my
allergist told me that a low Igg would contribute to any infection of
the repiratory system, as it is mucous membrane. Today, however, an
internal medicine doctor said that the pneumococcal group of bacteria
only cause pneumonia. Is he wrong? Should this be something a doctor of
internal medicine know?
What will happen to a person with chronic sinus/acute infection who has
developed a resitant form of bacteria if they stop all antibiotics?
Wouldn't it be better to let a person live for a length of time (with
the inherent consequences) than to risk death or permenant disability
from carrying a serious sinus infection untreated. These may be my
choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
