my 2 year old daughter had pneumonia in feb and over the weekend she has been ill again with short of breath and a chest cough. should i take her to the doctor before things get worse?
Answer:Yes. Straight away.
Yes you should, just to make sure. Members of my family have had pneumonia more than once.
Absolutely - it can reoccur many times over make that appointment now - I wish you and your daughter good health and luck. x
Yes, take her today! If she is short of breath you should take her even if she did not have pneumonia! Hope she will be ok. Take care xxx
Yes. But Vaccination against influenza and the children pneumococcal vaccine can help to lower the risks.
Any time a very young child is short of breath, it's probably a good idea you take her to see the doctor. Yes, you can get pnemonia again. You can also get a cold, or allergies as well.
best for sure as shes only two and pneumonia is very bad even if your an adult
Yes it can. My grandfather had it six times in 10 years. He's quite elderly, but at any age, pneumonia is dangerous.
Yes! Pneumonia cases can take months to recover and if an individual doesn't take care of themselves, they can get pneumonia again due to fluid in the lungs. Fluid in the lungs takes a long time to leave and movement does help in accelerating the process. Be sure to keep your daughter sitting up and have some moderate exercise (nothing very exerting) to help break things up. Your doctor should have had her back every couple of weeks to check on her since Pneumonia can make someone die regardless of their age.
Yes! She should be checked up ASAP.
If your daughter was experiencing shortness of breath then that would have been the go sign to take her to the GP or out of hours clinic. Yes she could get a reoccurance.
Get her seen ASAP.
I'm 25 and have had pneumonia MANY times, so the best thing to do is take your daughter to a doctor and get it checked out straight away because it can get serious fast with someone as young as her and it's always better to me safe than sorry.
