We now officially have our first bout with pneumonia. Took the two year old to a walk-in clinic last Monday night for fever/cold symptoms and they said fluid on ear, but it’s not infected. Just watch her and bring back if not better. Tuesday night I get home and she still has fever so I take her to a different walk-in. The ear is now infected (24 hours later). We start the antibiotic but notice thAt the cough gets a little worse, but no more fever. Friday night we decide to start albuterol since we had some leftover to help with the cough. By Saturday afternoon she’s running fever again so we go back to walk-in #2. They do a chest X-ray and determine that her lungs are a bit “reactive” and that both ears are now infected. They leave us on the same antibiotic and tell us to follow up with our PCP. I leave work this morning to take her to her primary care doctor. We get checked in and the nurse sees that her pulse-ox is 93%. The doctor comes in and listens to her lungs and calls for another chest X-ray. The X-ray now shows that she has pneumonia in both lungs (the doctor only heard it in one). It had been about 36 hours since her last chest X-ray that was clear. From that visit we got a shot of antibiotics, oral steroid, and two additional antibiotics to start. When she told me she had pneumonia I almost fell over. I never would have guessed it had gotten that bad. For the TLDR crowd: be careful which walk-in you take your kids to. Some of them don’t know shit and won’t be proactive about anything.
