I started coughing on Saturday, it was infrequent at first, but on Sunday night into Monday it became frequent, and by Tuesday I had pneumonia! Such a terrible cough. Yesterday my oldest started coughing, today my youngest... It's a dry, shallow cough. What should I do?
The girls I'm working with keep dropping filler phrases. One of them says, 'well, it's kind of meh..…

See a doctor? No?

Should I call the doctor, or go get checked out myself? My middle child had the same thing in the spring, and it cleared up in 2 days.

It's not very clear, 'before pneumonia, terrible cough' - were you diagnosed with pneumonia?
Go to the doctor with the kids, listen to them.

Anastasiya Yes, they did. With my first, I saw the doctor, and they didn't say anything because symptoms hadn't developed yet. Treatment was symptomatic. I had something similar, and it ended up with a terrible cough.

Svetlana Went to the doctor, and they didn't say much, just recommended symptomatic treatment. My throat isn't even red, just a little irritated.

Fedorova Karina I've reached out. And for myself too.

Oh my gosh, I totally get you! I caught a bacterial infection at 38 weeks and it was hell... I thought I was unlucky because of my pregnancy, but it seems it really depends on your immunity.
It started for me at night too...
On Monday night, I woke up with a terrible sore throat...
Tues & Wed - I gargled at home.
From Wednesday to Thursday, I woke up with ear pain, and ended up with bilateral otitis, plus a purulent otitis in one ear. They immediately prescribed antibiotics.
And then, while on antibiotics, on Saturday, a mild cough started (I thought it was from my throat).
On Sunday, it moved lower.
On Monday, the therapist diagnosed tracheobronchitis.
She said if it had been another day, it would have been pneumonia...
I was prescribed inhalations:
1) Pulmicort + saline solution
2) Borjomi (still water)
3) Today I added ACC
4) And today, Dexamethasone injections (I need to recover very quickly as I have a scheduled C-section soon), so I don't think the injections are necessary for you.
5) Plenty of fluids
6) Humidifier.

If your little one just has a dry cough, then just saline or Borjomi (still water) inhalations morning/evening.
If breathing becomes harsh/difficult, then Pulmicort - it makes breathing easier.
Drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel like it, and use a humidifier.
And most importantly, go get checked often... at least every other day. There's some nasty stuff going around right now, everything develops so rapidly... within 24 hours, it's already some kind of complication...

Ekaterina Shipova Oh, you've been through a lot! Wishing you a speedy recovery and an easy delivery!
It's scary, isn't it? I'm worried too, my youngest is still recovering from antibiotics, it hasn't even been two weeks, and my older one has restrictions due to allergies to some of them.
Yes, some nasty bug is going around. I've never had such a whistling cough in my life. It's awful.

Ekaterina Shipova Thank you.
This is my first time getting into such a mess at 37 too...
It really surprises me that new complications are appearing while I'm on antibiotics.
You should also get a blood test with a leukocyte formula. To see what's attached; if it's bacteria, then antibiotics immediately..
Even if there's no fever, get it done anyway.
I never had a fever, but my blood test showed a bacterial infection and significant inflammation.

Ekaterina Shipova Yes, I haven't had a fever at all, and neither have my kids.
