I've been keeping her inside, giving her lots of fluids and doing my best to have her take it easy..Which isn't the easiet feet for an active toddler! However, her doctor said when she was released that she should just take it easy for a few days.. I am not taking her outside quite yet because A) I don't want her to wear her self out and though she's on antibiotics which she'll finish in 2 days, I don't want to take the chance that she'll pass this on to someone else's child.. My question is this: Have your children ever had pnumonia? How long after did you let them outside to play?

I believe 48 hours on antibiotics is all that is required before a child can return to school, so if she feels up to it, let her go. Actually, walking/moving is TONS better for her lungs that just sitting around.

I was sick for a very long time, but I had a strain that did not respond to antibiotics. All I remember about it is that I used to tire very easily, even after I was considered to be recovered. Whatever you decide, just allow for plenty of rest after a lot of activity. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"
