My 6 year old recently finished antibiotics to fight pneumonia. She has been finished the meds for over 10 days and still has this barking cough. It is much worse in the morning and by night. She has no fever or cold symptoms, just this barking cough. Her mouth is not white.  Any ideas on what I should do? Does she need another round of antibiotics. Thank You

    I think you should ask your doctor.   And be insistent on getting service ASAP.

    we do not have the training to diagnose or,prescribe.

    Poor little mite .. must be so distressing for you both.  Take her back to the doctors, and as neville said .. INSIST on an immediate appointment.

    If nothing else, he should be able to give her something to supress that cough.

    Hope she's better very soon.
