Yes, your son could have a pneumonia. IF you are not content with what your physician has recommended go to the ER. Pneumonia can be viral or bacteria. If it is viral then the antibiotic will not do anything for the virus. However, having a fever this high and long deserves more investigation like blood cultures or sputum sample. I would continue to call family doctor or go to ER. Good luck. Thank you for your question.
