My 7 yr son has pneumonia.

Posted , 2 users are following.

My 7 year old has pneumonia. He doesn't sound like he is wheezing but his cough is now very congested. He has more energy but still lays around a lot. He has been on antibiotics for 4 days. Should his cough be going away? If the congested cough normal, before it was a wheezing cough. 

Thank you
