Thank you. My 4 yr old son has pneumina. He is on day 4 of amoxicillan. hid fever has been gone for 2 days. He is drinking lots of fluids but still does not want ti eat. He has had very little solid food since sat. (6 days ago) What to do to get him to eat and when do I call dr. out of concern.
Hello. I just read through your question. Loss of appetite due to pneumonia is very common. The fact that he is taking fluids is very good and important. Keep in mind, however, that it could take several days more before his appetite comes back. This is not unusual. As long as you are noticing daily improvement, there is nothing to be overly concerned about.
