Hi All,
my 3 year old had very severe pneumonia ( had 3/4 of his lungs out of order) and is hospitalised on April 2nd.
his pneumonia has subsided but his dependency on oxygen is alarming. His saturation point O2 is dropping down to 70's and further down. He's on oxygen 5 liters of oxygen. Is this oxygen dependency reversible. Doctors seemed positive but say that the lung secretions should come out for it to be fully functional and that it might take time. Should he do some special excercise or some thing. We do not have availability of pulmozyme. Does anybody have similar experience. please help me through this phase.
