My Nephew Has Pneumonia.

He has been coughing badly and loudly since the other day. He did not go to work at that time. Yesterday, my SIL, her mom went to pick him up because he has a high-grade fever. He stays at my parents-in-law's house since his work is far from the house. They went straight to the doctor for a check-up and chest x-ray. I think he has it bad that the Pulmonologist gave her two antibiotics to be taken at the same time and more meds. He told me his back was excruciating because of the coughing. For now, he will be on bed rest. The doctor wanted to admit him but the hospital is full right now.
