Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia in children is a common and frequently occurring disease that can occur in all four seasons, but it is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during sudden changes in weather. The onset can be either sudden or gradual, but it is more commonly acute. It is often the result of the progression from upper respiratory infections and bronchitis, and can also be secondary to respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This condition poses a significant threat to children's health, and generally requires intravenous fluid treatment. You can try fosfomycin.
