How long does it take to treat pneumonia in babies

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, if a baby gets pneumonia, how long does the treatment usually take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the description, the cold and cough may indicate a recurrence of pneumonia, or it could be due to the cold in the house. The baby has just recovered from a serious illness and has a low resistance, so they caught another illness after coming back. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible, get a blood test, and start medication early to control the condition. Since the baby is very young and has little resistance, and the condition can progress rapidly, any symptoms should be addressed immediately. It is suggested that upon discharge from the hospital next time, after stopping the infusion, the baby should continue taking oral medication for about a week to consolidate the treatment.
