pneumonia
Just wondered if any of the medical people on here could throw any light on
this. My 8yo has just been diagnosed with pneumonia. (Not swine flue related) after complaining of a sore shoulder. The infection is in the top left lob, which according to the doctor is unusual. What I'm wondering is what exactly he means by unusual. Is it unusual for a child, unusual without other areas being infected, or just unusual to get that area infected at all? I'm going back tomorrow with her so I'll ask him then, but I've been worrying a bit over it. Debbie |

Debbie As I was before and am, I am not one of the medical people, but I thought I'd say hi and hopefully things get better! I've never had to deal with any real serious (or even somewhat serious) illnesses with any of my kids. My kids are very clumsy - I've dealt with a major surgery with DS on his head, big dental surgery with DD1 after she busted her teeth out when she fell, black eyes with DD2 (one she JUST got falling on the table at my parents' house on Sunday!) and much more. Hopefully all turns out well. I know nothing about pneumonia, though, but hopefully she bounces back to being her regular 8 year old self soon! |

Let us know if you find out what was unusual. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |
