Near the end of antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia. brother has chest infection and now she has a barking cough. part of recovery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: He probably has the same infection as his brother. Viral illnesses for example may cause croup and/or pneumonia. Since the initial treatment was for a bacterial illness, he may also need antibiotics. Does he have a fever? ear infection?
