“When should I take my child to the doctor for pneumonia?”

If you suspect your daughter has pneumonia, you should seek medical attention for treatment. If symptoms continue to worsen, please go to the nearest emergency room.

First, some pertinent questions: how do you know your child has pneumonia? And, did your child get a chest x-ray or another chest imaging procedure?. If your child did not get a chest imaging procedure, how did you diagnose pneumonia? If there is a suspension in your mind that your child has pneumonia or something similar, you call your doctor IMMEDIATELY! A child with pneumonia can get seriously I’ll within a day! It is not something to think about. You call your doctor right away as your child’s life is at stake with pneumonia. Your lungs are unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide well if you have pneumonia. Call your doctor NOW!
