[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 430208, member: 1233"] I went with husband to the doctor. There is a brand new urgent care place near thank you's school so we dropped him off and went there. The doctor was really good, in my humble opinion. He took a really LONG listen to husband's chest, esp during a coughing bout. Said that it sounded clear but very tight. Then he told us that if the muscles around the lungs are clamped down tight then the lungs cannot work properly and it is very easy to miss pneumonia that way. It makes sense now that I think about it, but I didn't know that. So he had husband do a breathing treatment there in the office and came back to listen again. husband SOUNDS clear, but may very well be on the edge of pneumonia or may have a very mild case that is just starting. So he gave husband a shot of steroids and prescriptions for antibiotics and prednisone. We got them filled and then came home to rest. Thanks for the good thoughts. I have him propped up to sleep for the next few days and if he is not MUCH better on Monday then we go back to the hospital. Or if he is still running a temperature over 100. I hate it when he gets sick with chest congestion. Ever since he had pneumonia in 2002 I get very very worried. [/QUOTE]
