Hello,

Since the doctor said that she had fluid in her chest, did he elaborate as to what he thought the diagnosis is (asthma, pneumonia, etc.)???

My g-daughter (an asthmatic) is very resistent when fighting infections also. Most times she has to take antibiotics for 6 to 8 weeks. If you haven't already done so, I think I would find a specialist (pediatric pulmonologist) for her. jmo
