Hi doctor. My daughter is 3 years old, she’s been having cough and flu for almost 3 weeks, even worse when she sleeps. There was a time when her mucus was yellowish so doctor prescribed her with amoxy, pred & salmodil. Now its getting slightly better, but suddenly she has fever on and off. Still cough but not as bad as before. My question is, should I take her to hospital? Could it be influenza or pneumonia? Or is it just because of weather? Thank you doctor
