My daughter started having cold like symptoms yesterday. Tonight she is in the hospital for pneumonia. They are going to keep her for a few days. She has no previous history of lung problems. She is 3 and in Public school Pre-K.
They think it might be the Enterovirus D68. From a slightly runny nose on Thursday (she went to school) to labored breathing with crackle/wheeze with every breath this afternoon. Over the counter(Ibuprofin/mucinex) , vaporizor, 2 pots of boiling water on the stove at all times, Chest rub, slept elevated with 2 pillows... Got worse and worse. This is not my first "sick kid" rodeo. I've never seen anything progress so FAST!
Remind your kids to wash their hands and have them wash hands as soon as they get home.
(PS This outbreak is mainly in the Midwest. Also .. trust your guts Ladies! If you know something is "wrong", take action. I'd normally never take my kid to the doctor for a "cold" or the "flu" but this was different. )
