I'm sorry to be asking you all this--please don't answer if you don't want to, but hospital in my area is not being very cooperative and I'm just starting nursing school, so I don't know.
Yesterday at 4pm, my boyfriend got very tired, weak, chills, fever was 102.6. Hospital said don't bring him in, that he just has the flu. This afternoon, it reached 103.4, so I brought him to the hospital. They hooked him up to an IV, gave him anti-biotics and fluids, took blood, x-rays. They said he has pneumonia and the flu. They released him with 4 prescriptions and with a temp of 101.
It's now 10 pm, he took all these medicines 3 hours ago and now he has chills, is coughing up mucus, can't move and his temp is 103.2. ER says don't bring him back up, just rest at home.
I'm worried for him and don't know what to do. He's in terrible pain.
