[|Human|] My child is 26 lbs 32 inches she is 2 yo and she was given chest xray showing she has pneumonia they sent her home wit augmenting n motrin...she s been getting new treatments every 4 hours but she has a very dry cough and still retracting in between the treatments. Is she going to be okay?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not good sign. Pneumonia is acute lung infection. And in child Chat Doctor.  He is taking antibiotics and still he is symptomatic. So we need to rule out worsening of pneumonia in his case. And hence repeat chest x-ray is needed. If x-ray is suggestive of decreasing lesions than no need to worry much. But if lesions on chest x-ray are same or worsening than he needs hospital admission and higher antibiotics. So better to first get done chest x-ray to decide future treatment plan. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
