Hello, my 2 year old daughter has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome and as she wasn t responding to the prednisone she has had a kidney biopsy and been put on a new drug alongside the steroids, Tacrolimus. Since coming back from having her biopsy she now has sickness and diarrhoea. Is this because of the mixture of drugs or could she have a virus? Is there anything we can do for her at home or should we take her back to the hospital? She doesn t have a temperature with it and is still fairly lively. Thank you
Hi! Your child seems to be having steroid resistant nephrotic syn Chat Doctor.  It can be due to some pathology in the kidney. Biopsy will clear the picture about the kind of problem. However you need to be careful regarding her general health because these babies are more prone to infections, bleeding tendencies, poor growth. So regular follow up with your doctor is very important. Also don't skip her medicines' because it will become ineffective. Show your doctor regarding the present problem as well
