Patient's question:
My child is 2 years old. Every time they catch a cold and cough, they wheeze. They also wheeze when they are tired. After taking medicine, it can be reduced a little, but the same thing happens the next time they catch a cold. Could you please tell me what are the common symptoms of pneumonia in children?Doctor's answer:
General lung inflammation may lead to symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, fever, dizziness, headache, and body aches. The lungs may also show signs like coarse breathing sounds and rales. Additionally, if you have undergone a blood test, including white blood cell counts, it may indicate an infectious issue. Therefore, antibiotic treatment should be considered. Moreover, pediatric illnesses often take some time to improve.
