Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 6 years old and has pneumonia again. This is her third time. Last time she had it in October of 2010, was hospitilized for 8 days with a chest tube. Since October she has had strep as well. Last night she started coughing and had a fever of 102.5. Took her to the Dr today, they did a chest xray and she has pneumonia in her right lung. She said we caught it early but why the heck did she get it again? She said after she gets better she will run some immune tests on her. I am really worried.
