In the hospital, in order to restore the unfortunate woman's body, she was put into a medically induced coma. The girl spent about a week in this state. During this time, doctors managed to diagnose the patient with a rare Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which gives an acute reaction to antibiotics.

Whether the doctors will be able to overcome the consequences of taking "Ceftriaxone" and return the girl to her former life, time will tell. Sasinan first complained of a sore throat on June 18 and has been treated with antibiotics and is still in hospital.

The illness has completely changed the girl's life, and her case is being investigated by specialists from the local Ministry of Health to explore compensation options for the incorrect treatment.
