For the past four nights, my toddler has extremely rapid breathing (50-60 per minute), high fever, wakes up choking, periods of non-stop coughing, sometimes moaning with each breath.
Yet two doctors have checked him in the past two days and waved it off as a virus. I'm an experienced mother and have never seen a child like this from a virus. Could it be the doctors are missing something? Isn't there such a thing as pneumonia that is not detected by stethoscope?
I'm in Israel, it's the middle of the night, and I just don't know what to do. I have a newborn, my husband isn't home, and he's been convinced by the doctors that it's "just a virus", whereas I'm really not convinced. ..

Sounds like you havingquit a scary night. I would suggest a chest xray as soon as possible. 2 of my kids just finished meds for pnemonia, 1 was not coughing at all just fever vomiting and back pain when breathing, the second was feeling fine just hada badcough nothing like your describing, I wouldn't even have him checked if my older one wouldn't have pnemonia,my first one was only diagnosed thru chest xray.

Does your child scream in pain? When my child had pneumonia he had terrible chest pain while coughing. If you have a nebulizer use it until you can do an exray.

No, bh not screaming in pain. In the end I couldn't take it and sent him with my husband to the ER. They also said his lungs are clear bh, but nevertheless he is under respiratory distress, so they will give him inhaled steroids and hopefully send him home.... eventually. I feel vindicated that at least they are giving him some medication.

In the end he does have slight pneumonia, and low saturation, so they're hospitalising him. Which is not what we planned for today.... But gam zu letovah.
