Both of my kids had pneumonia as infants. They were around 3 or 4 months old. It is hard to get the diagnosis and then face pneumonia so quickly. My daughter is now 6 and has not had pneumonia again. My son is 4 and he got pneumonia for the 2nd time last month. So I am thankful they were healthy for a number of yrs after the initial pneumonia. My son is still coughing weeks after stopping the iv's. It is confusing to me too. I am learning that pneumonia in cfers can take a while to clear.
This is just a side note and I wish I knew when my daughter was an infant - you know and care more for your daughter than anyone else. If you are concerned about something make sure it happens. An example - if you think your daughter needs to be seen at the clinic ASAP and they won't return your calls, go up there and wait until a dr can see you. Just be proactive like you are being. Hope your sweet girl feels better soon.
