I have a four year old son, he had a really deep cough and is weezing pretty bad!
Question: I took him to urgent care this evening. He was given a breathing treatment and they said they were not sure if he would need another one later. They sent me home with some antibotics, but the pharmacy was closed and I wont be able to get them until tomorrow morning. He has been running a fever of 101. He has been given medicine for it as well. He is also taking cough syrup. Urgent care wasnt sure what he had, but again, like they said they just do enough to get him through for a couple of days. So here is the question his cough has gotten worse and so has the weezing. I have no way of getting him another breathing treatment unless he goes to the doctor or ER. He also starting getting a pimple like rash and his feet are orange. Urgent care said that the orange feet could be from his shoes (the dye in them) But his shoes are white and I have been keeping them off of him and keeping slippers on him which is also white. Any Ideas on what he could have and what to do for him? Thanks so much

YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM TO THE ER NOW! It sounds like pnumonia and that can get serious fast Good luck hun
if he is in distress- doesnt seem to be getting enough oxygen then he needs to go to the ER
Look in the phone book for a 24 hour pharmacy ASAP and call to speak to a pharmacist about this. Most areas have at least a Walgreens that is always open.
