My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia 3 days ago, she was sent home has been taking antibiotics for three days already, tonight she was looking more pale and dark rings around her eyes.She does not have a fever, more so just cold sweat on and off. During the day she has been hyper, when she should be getting rest....My question is, is this a normal stage to go through aproxamatly half way through her medication??? or shall we bring her back in to emerg?When my daughter was around 9 months old she had a febrile seziure so im kindda scared that she may have another episode if she is not reciving enough oxygen.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely take her to the emergency room because she my need higher antibiotics and intravenous fluids. Her current symptoms like on - off fever, paleness look, dark circles around eyes etc. are suggestive of worsening of infection (pneumonia) and deny Chat Doctor.  So better not to wait at home. Take her to the emergency room. She needs higher antibiotic to cover infection and intravenous fluids' forum deny
