Fever, Headache Post Treatment For Walking Pneumonia With Antibiotics. Is It Recurrent?
My daughter was diagnosed with walking pneumonia 2 weeks ago. She was placed on antibiotics , and was feeling better within 36 hours. She missed about 2 1/2 days of her antibiotics in the middle, but then we finished them up. Now she has come down with fever and headache (the same symptoms as before; she never had a cough ) again. Does she need to see her pediatrician? Is this recurrent, or do you think the walking pneumonia could have been misdiagnosed?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The diagnosis was correct and that was only for 14 days and you had completed the full treatment and patient ( your daughter ) responded very well to this treatment.
So there is no chances of relapse, if patient don't get infection again by same bacteria.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
