Xian fever had
subsided for just 1 days and it had recurred yesterday morning. His cough had
worsen since then. He had lots of sputum and I had started to give him chest
percussion but yet the effect was limited. I had been there before, I told
myself; few years ago, Yun had suffered from similar event. She had noted with
5 days of URI and mild fever but later the fever worsen and pneumonia was noted,
she ended with in ward for 5 days.
I was more cautious
this time and at 4am today morning, I had brought Xian to the ED.
The X-ray had
shown:
Well, left lower lobar
pneumonia- most probably a secondary bacteria infection. I had given him an adult
dose of Augmentin drip and prescribed zithromax for him for out patient use,
lets hope my strategy works…….
