LO has the flu & now pneumonia - I’m worried
My 15 month old was diagnosed Monday with Influenza A. Here is the timeline
Saturday: fever, max 102
Sunday: fever, max 104
Monday: diagnosed influenza A
Tuesday: fever max 102
Wednesday: no fever
Thursday: no fever
Friday: fever returned, max 101.7, brought to ped and he said he has a touch a pneumonia. Started him on amoxicillin
My son is eating, drinking, playing and acting normal. Has a nasty cough and is all stuffed up and has a runny nose.
I’m a nervous wreck... the news stories about flu related hospitalizations and deaths are giving me severe anxiety. I’m trying to stay calm. I’m a first time mom and I’m pretty young and I’m scared. My parents and husband are staying positive and telling me the antibiotic will help him but I am just worried beyond control.
Any words of advice from parents who have gone through this? I just want my baby healthy again and fever free. Hate pumping him with meds but obviously have to to help him.
