Wife's on day 3 with pneumonia: temps of 104.9

[SMKR]

I had it, and when I went to the emergency clinc they gave me fluids and a breathing treatment and I was perfectly fine afterwards. I was at 104.6, the moment they gave me fluids I felt fucking amazing and my temperature broke, I almost could have gone to work the same day. I cant remember what pills they gave me, but all I felt i needed was the fluids. I was sick for about 5 days before I did anything about it, I was freezing even though I had my electric blanket on in the middle of summer.

Yea that's the way she was. It was 98 outside and she said she was freezing, definitely wasn't right. Fever is back again, now day 4 of high temps. At what temp does it get dangerous for adults? >105?

Damn man. Sorry to hear about this. Hope all is well soon and we'll be praying for you guys.

My wife gets it often, but hasnt been hospitalized for it. Might be a smart ideal to start getting the yearly shot for it along with the flu shot.

My wife is currently is on the back side of pneumonia. She was in the hospital for a week and can't return to work for another two weeks. It's pretty nasty stuff high fever and coughing all the time. Shes also 7 months pregnant.

J/k ... hope everything turns out well.

I couldn't begin to guess. She lived in california and my wife talked to her the night before trying to nail a date down to fly her in for my daughters first birthday, and my wife had no idea other than saying she was feeling bad. I got woken up to my wife answering her cell phone and then screaming about 7 the next morning.

[SMKR]

You said you took her to the hospital, did they draw blood cultures? If so, results?

All negative, nothing has grown

[YALE]

Ive got the begininning of pneumonia (walking pneumonia). It hit me like a ton of bricks one on and then went to the doctor after i completely lost my voice. The thought it was an upper respiratory infection. After 2 weeks on antibiotic, it getting worse and I was still coughing and went to a new doctor. Wound up having walking pneuonia and put on hardcore antibiotic, some cough medicine with codine and an inhaler. $400 and a week later I still have a gurgle in my right lung and feeling a ton better. Its no joke

I wasn't going to reply but my mother in law caught pneumonia and put off going to the doctor for a couple days and ended up dying in her sleep. She was only 46. It can get serious fast

See she thought it was hormones and her body readjusting after her recent pregnancy between Saturday and Tuesday but when the chills got so bad on Tuesday that's when I told her she was going to the doctor.

I was hoping they could give her something stronger than motrin and tylenol but I guess they know best.

Your mother in law that died at 46- what were her symptoms and how did it play out if you don't mind me asking?

I am just now getting over it myself. Had it for the past two weeks, but I guess it wasn't very bad as i was only down for about 5 days before I went to the dr, got some meds and back to work the next day.. although my temp wasnt that high, 101 was the highest i got. The xray showed my right lung a little over half full of crap. dr put me on a z pac, amoxicillin, and an inhaler. worked great i feel pretty good now, just need to get my appetite back..

Hope she gets well!

That sucks dude. I had pneumonia when I was 11. I got to stay home and play video games. I thought it was awesome, my parents were scared shitless though.
