Is this normal?
DD10 came home from school last Thursday with a fever. I took her to pediatrician Friday at noon and they tested her for flu which was negative. Her fever at the office was 103.5.
Later that evening, her fever went to 106! I called dr. back and they said to alternate Tylenol and Motrin. Next morning the fever went down after the Motrin and she ate but then in the afternoon it went back to 106. I called doc again and they said just make sure she keeps drinking fluids.
A few of you guys suggested the ER and I took her. She had pneumonia!
Well she has been on antibiotics since Sat. night but yesterday and today she is coughing nonstop. She is coughing so much that she is nauseous.
Is this normal? Should she still be coughing like this. I am calling the doctor AGAIN!
