Intravenous antibiotics

You decide to start Jack on intravenous antibiotics for his chest infection. Following protocol, you select Amoxicillin as the most appropriate antibiotic.

 

Before discharge, you reassess him:

HR 125/min, RR 35/min, T 37.5 C, SaO2 91% in Oxygen

His chest findings are unchanged – mild recession and reduced air entry on the right side.

 

Jack parents ask you what is going to happen next.

What is your plan now?

Chest radiograph
Intravenous dexamethasone
Discharge on oral antibiotics
Admit on salbutamol
Discharge and review in clinic
