What should be done about pneumonia in boys?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I took my son to the doctor who said his condition could be treated with some medication. Today, when I went, the doctor said his condition had worsened and gave him some medication, still the same few types. I really don't know what to do.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: There was a similar situation around the New Year.
What kind of help is desired: Could you please ask the doctor what to do and how to achieve the best treatment effect?

Doctor's answer:

Pneumonia refers to the inflammation of the terminal airways, alveoli, and interstitial tissues of the lungs. Its symptoms include fever, rapid breathing, persistent mild cough, possible unilateral chest pain, chest pain during deep breathing and coughing, and either small or large amounts of sputum. Antimicrobial therapy is the most crucial aspect of pneumonia treatment. If a baby contracts pneumonia, it is best to administer intravenous anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended to conduct a blood test and take a chest X-ray for targeted treatment.
