A member asked:
My son has pneumonia, been on amoxicillin for 5 days with not much improvement. fever down to 37.4 though. any ideas why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitor: I would suggest a follow up or virtual appointment to reassess. He may seem tired for some time after the illness but he should not have any fever or difficulty breathing. If he is breathing quickly please see acute care. Monitor his temperature and provide hydration. A flu vaccination is advised.
