Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter was diagnosed with influenza type A 2 weeks ago today. She improved and returned to school one week ago, despite the continued cough. Fever resolved. Yesterday, she started with a fever between 102-103 and was seen at an urgent care facility. Flu swab was not done as the provider did not feel this was necessary. I was concerned about Type B. She was diagnosed with bronchitis and written azithromycin and cough medication. She is not improving, but is worsening. I plan to get her to her primary care provider tomorrow. Her O2 sat here at home has remained good at around 97%. She is 14, and in otherwise good health. Takes no medications on a routine basis. Fever is being somewhat controlled with tylenol.
