Is a 4-month-old child blowing bubbles pneumonia?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work.
By the way, is it pneumonia if a 4-month-old baby is spitting bubbles?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child is four months old and has bubbles in their mouth, which indicates some digestive issues. If there is no cold, it is usually not serious. Take the infant's digestive powder appropriately, avoid cold foods, and continue taking fish oil. Wait and see. Solid foods can be introduced, but the key is to identify the cause of the cough to treat it correctly. If it is a respiratory bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used; if it is a respiratory viral infection, antiviral medication should be administered. Most chronic coughs beyond two months are allergic coughs, so the treatment should focus on eliminating respiratory allergic inflammation. For detailed treatment, refer to the extended reading 2. If it is combined with allergic rhinitis, it may be allergic bronchitis, and desensitization treatment should be the main approach.
