Pneumonia in child

Hello Dr.Sutter i've followed along and have read what you have had to say on healing and so far impressed.Don't know what kind of experience you have with
pneumonia in children so i'll just make this brief.My 8 year old son for the past
3 years has had many bouts of pneumonia which leads to many rounds of antibiotics.
Mommy took him to the ER this afternoon and low and behold his left lung is crackling his stomach hurts,pain in his shoulder,fever and he's got a nasty cough.The ER doctor says that we should have him checked by respiratory specialist because it's not normal to have pneumonia this many times in the last 3 years,normally he gets them in the winter or fall but now it has happened in the summer.Do you have any insight and recommendations.I feel bad about all the antibiotics that he is on but if he doesn't have them he takes a turn for the worse which leads to a hospital stay with intravenous which he has already done.I've talked to people that have said that they have or have known children that were in the same situation and as they got older it went away.What makes certain children as soon as they catch a bug it develops into pneumonia and other children just get
sick? I know your not an advocate of any form of drugs but what are parents to do
when something like this happens.Many children have died over the years without the
proper medication and i'm sure pneumonia is one of those illness's that one has to
use drugs.Are you in agreeance with this? What would you do if this was your child?

Thanks for your time

I have other questions to ask of you but we'll leave it for another day. Tweet
