Great....I was just worried if you need to transfer the patient to the hospital or Rx as outpatient. The person who got this (read in this forum) said that he gave nebuliser and sent the pt back home on amox....

why do you need to send it to ER , why cant it be managed as an outpatient...rest depends on the vitals and sick the patient is ..also the age is a factor ...I think. Any inputs /comments
