ANY type of change you see you need to head straight to the hossy. Pnemonia can be deadly in little ones (sorry to be dramatic but it's true). BReathing difficulties, change in temps, more wheezing etc.

I didn't know when my DD had pnemonia..
She went downhill really fast.. She was running around one minute, then totally lethargic an hour later..

When P had pneumonia in May it was dignosed through her chest x-ray. Her chest sounded clear but the x-ray showed it wasn't.
Symptoms were cold symptoms, high temp and very lethargic & unhappy. I thought she had tonsilitis but they were clear. That's when the GP ordered the x-ray just to be sure. The radiographer sent her straight back to the GP, who sent her to hospital.
You can always ask the GP for referral for an x-ray. If you have it privately you can just walk in and get it done. You might be out of pocket some $$ though, but I thought it was well worth it.
