My daughter was like this when she had pneumonia. Only on the 4th time of taking her back to the doctor could it be heard in her lungs.

My two and a half year old had fever for four nights (during the day he was fine), no other symptoms and I took him to the Dr cuz I was worried with no other symptoms. He had pneumonia, funnily enough, after antibiotics started he started coughing.

My son had all week low grade fever at night. Terrible coughing. Did chest xray at hospital but got misread. End of week it was reread & found pneumonia.

Older son years ago....4 days hi fever....dr said if not better in 2 days come back for chest xray....I said why the need to wait....lets do it now....it was pneumonia.

A very high fever can also be a urine infection even if there isn’t any pain urinating. One of my kids had that.

2 of my kids had pneumonia and both times the dr couldn’t hear anything in the lungs. He did a chest ultrasound (way better than an xray!!) and found the pneumonia.
