His Majesty's condition improves
His Majesty's condition has improved, with blood pressure returning to a stable level and fever reducing close to normal level after treatment at Siriraj Hospital, the Royal Household Bureau said on Monday.
Though heartbeat has returned to normal, His Majesty’s breathing rate, at times, is still slightly faster than normal, the bureau said, referring to the results of a recent electrocardiogram test.
“The fever has dropped to almost normal and His Majesty is able to sleep well,” the statement said. This was the 15th statement released by the Royal Household Bureau on His Majesty’s treatment at hospital.
However, it said, doctors are continuing prescribe antibiotics as well as intravenous feeding and oxygen intake when necessary.
Last Thursday, His Majesty returned to hospital due to high fever, shivering, low-blood pressure and fast breathing. Tests revealed that His Majesty had developed a blood infection, while an X-ray showed inflammation of the right lung. His Majesty had also developed an infection in the windpipe, the statement said.
