ER: You should have your baby seen in the ER. A full history and physical exam are needed, and at this time of year, influenza is very likely, however in your part of the world MERS and other infectious diseases need to be ruled out. Your child needs an exam immediately by a skilled Pediatric ER physician. Likely to be treated empirically for influenza and secondary bacterial infections based on exam
