Fever, severity: Monitor her temperature, treat fever with Tylenol, rather than Motrin. She has moderate disease and should be followed closely. If she is having shortness of breath, uncontrolled wheezing, please see the Emergency department for evaluation including chest image. Provide hydration, rest and closely observe. Please see your physician, and a virtual consult may be useful.
