Hello everyone! My daughter has been diagnosed with pneumonia: right-sided segmental lower-lobe pneumonia. Since Monday she has been receiving IV antibiotics, and since Tuesday an oral antibiotic has been added. But the fever still isn’t gone. Last night it was 38.3°C, and this morning 37.8°C. Today we plan to do a repeat chest X-ray to check the progression. Overall she feels okay, and she’s coughing up mucus more easily. Our pediatrician says the fever shouldn’t rise anymore since we’re on antibiotics. That makes me uneasy. My daughter and I both have pneumonia — she’s also on one antibiotic, and the fever sometimes rises but has not exceeded 37.4°C. Yesterday evening we went to the daytime hospital. For now they’re trying not to admit too many people to the 24-hour ward—the hospital is hot, and sometimes cold. The heating hasn’t been turned on yet. And with pneumonia there are a lot of people around. We continue to go to the daytime hospital with my daughter.

Старшая тоже переболела в июле/августе. Дома лечились, панцеф пила 10 дней, пульмикортом дышала, отхаркивающее пила

Fauler Sharlotta They didn't prescribe inhalations for us, and overall there wasn't anything besides an IV drip and pills. We also had UHF therapy. Did the fever last long?

Fauler Sharlotta A week passed before she received antibiotics.
Because we were in the village, the doctors there weren't prescribing anything; they were diagnosing ARVI.
I brought her to the city, had tests done, and a two-view chest X-ray.
She started taking them immediately. By the second day of treatment, her temperature dropped to 37.5°C and stayed at that level for another three days.

The doctor told us that if the fever rises after treatment for pneumonia with antibiotics, it could be that we bought a counterfeit medication, or that the antibiotics prescribed were not the right ones.

Irina We didn’t buy anything. IV drips are being administered at the hospital, and tablets are also being provided there. Regarding the prescription, I can’t say whether it’s correct or not.

Fauler Sharlotta Before she started antibiotics, my daughter's fever was 38.0°C or higher, even reaching 39.0°C or more.
Today is the fourth day of IV drip therapy and the third day of tablets.
Around 2:30 a.m., her temperature was 37.8°C, and she took an antipyretic.
This morning, the temperature is normal.
I can see that she feels better and has started eating again.
At first she had no appetite and ate poorly, and she began losing weight again; she now weighs only 46 kg at a height of 170 cm.
Her coughing has improved as well.
So, overall, it seems like an improvement, but the persistent elevated temperature concerns me.
A relative's child had pneumonia this summer: one stayed with a fever for about 14 days, initially high, then somewhat better.
Another had an elevated temperature for about 10 days in total.
The fever stayed around 39.0°C for about a week.

Irina While we were in the hospital receiving IV fluids, the fever in the child with pneumonia subsided by the third day. I also received an IV, and for six days my fever stayed around 38.6°C, but it didn’t break. I sought outpatient care and took one tablet of paracetamol (acetaminophen), and the fever finally went away. What happened to me remains unclear. The X-ray suggested lingering sinusitis, but another ENT doctor said it isn’t sinusitis but an allergy; a third said it’s tonsillitis; a fourth said it’s obstructive bronchitis, disagreeing with the previous doctors.

Irina We went through the same thing with our daughter; she was about four years old at the time. The cough was terribly severe. One doctor diagnosed bronchitis, another—tracheitis, and a third—whooping cough. They simply couldn't agree on a single diagnosis. They treated her with every possible remedy, one after another.

Fauler Sharlotta Yeah, as long as it lasts, my body is exhausted and weakened.

Fauler Sharlotta That’s probably how it is. The doctor says you should finish the course of antibiotics to avoid harming your body.

Irina Do you think acetaminophen cured you, or was it simply a coincidence?

Fauler Sharlotta Three pediatricians told us to strictly adhere to it for 10 days. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Fauler Sharlotta My husband, by the way, is sick right now. He’s been ill since Sunday, and the diagnosis was only made yesterday. He started proper treatment yesterday, and today he’s already feeling much better. He doesn’t have a fever, and the cough has nearly disappeared. I’m giving him ceftriaxone, and he’s also taking tablets. Vitamin D, vitamin C, Suprastin at night, ACC, Pulmicort (as used for asthma patients).

Fauler Sharlotta Today our daughter was transferred to the regional pulmonology ward, and they took her there.
They're giving her vitamin D, vitamin C, two antibiotics, inhalation therapy, and ACC.
At our hospital, it seems they aren’t really treating patients — they appear to be causing more harm than good, honestly.
