We consulted orthopedic. He prescribed • acenac-mtr twice after food • enzo mac -thrice before food (we did stopped omnacortil for a while) 3rd week no improvement in her condition and joint pains were unbearable. She was constantly feeling nauseated and hardly eat anything so we didn't give one dose. Post that she almost freeze couldn't able to move her knees. So orthopedic prescribed ultracet twice fifth week there was slight improvement but too much weakness and was down with cold and cough. We consulted another doctor and after couple of test (x-ray, cbc) report says • (right paracardiac haziness s/o pneumonitis. Medicine prescribed • montair • prospan • claribid 250 _twice a day • lanol-er _ twice a day • abflo_ twice a day there was an improvement after a week but there was drowsiness weakness swelling of feet and pain. 4th week after consulting physician he changed medicine as her coughing is over lesuride od 75-once in a day lcin 250 -twice a day lanol-ea twice a day supradyn- once a day but she completely lost appetite and so many medicines without food didn't felt right we stopped it for two days and she started eating. We again consulted physician thinking she is fine, but again she started coughing weakness. It looks like never ending illness. We are worried as we still not clear is it pneumonia/respiratory infection or not and how long she will take to recover need suggestions, my mom is really old and seeing her suffering is painful.

You need to do urine pregnancy test. It should be done 10 days after missing your period. For example if your date was 10th, then do the test on 20th. Before that it can give false negative or false positive test.
