Further assessment of the patient's feelings about using conventional and natural therapies is needed before further action is taken.The patient may need instruction about antibiotics if further assessment indicates that the patient is receptive to antibiotic use.Pointing out that herbal therapy has not been successful is disrespectful to the patient's belief system.Although herbal therapy alone may not eradicate the infection,some herbal therapies do improve immune function.
