Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of infant pneumonia are?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia in children is a common disease during infancy and early childhood, with viral and bacterial infections being the most frequent causes. The initial symptoms of viral pneumonia are similar to a cold. The baby may have a persistent high fever for 3-4 days, and the cough and runny nose will gradually worsen. The baby's breathing will become rapid, and the chest will sink with each breath. Bacterial pneumonia causes fever for 1-2 days. The baby's breathing will become difficult due to phlegm blocking the throat, and the accumulation of pus in the lungs will also affect breathing.
