Will the inpatient children's hospital in pittsburgh, pa give me iv antibiotics for my severe bacterial infection that is not responding to oral?

Hard to say: If you are admitted for care an IV and IV meds would be considered routine. Whether they feel you need to be admitted or not will depend on an evaluation at the time.

Antibiotics: You will be evaluated and then a determination will be made if you need antibiotics and if you need IV antibiotics.
