A member asked:
My daughter is currently on week 5 of 8 of fluconazole for ringworm and kerions, there's little to no improvement, should i be doing anything else?

Treatment failure: I'd say that if you are seeing zero improvement in symptoms after 6 weeks of treatment that its time for a re-evaluation of your medications, doses and original diagnosis. Good luck!
