A member asked:
My son (2.5 years) has fever 38.2 and shortness of breath. should we take him to emergencies or treat the fever and monitor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Triage: Your son may have pneumonia and/or COVID 19 infection, please proceed to the Emergency Room for evaluation. If he is otherwise playful and active, encourage fluids, use Tylenol for fever control and call your Pediatrician to arrange a visit. He may have a non COVID 19 infection which should resolve quickly, but COVID 19 may lead to worsening respiratory symptoms.
