How to Triage a Community Acquired Pneumonia Patient

There are published guidelines kind of outlining when you want to think about hospitalization for a kid with community acquired pneumonia that are quite good. Thinking about this child, she sounds like she would likely do well with care at home. I would probably suggest giving her some antibiotics giving her a popsicle, making sure she doesn't vomit because kids love to vomit when they're sick. And just watching her, you know, for an hour or two and making sure she don't have any worsening trajectory.
