3. Saliva appears foamy;
4. Coughed 7 times.
Currently hospitalized for 4 days. On the third day, there were no symptoms, but on the fourth day, there was one cough.

Doctor's answer:

Pneumonia in children is a common and frequently occurring disease, which can occur in all four seasons, but is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during abrupt climate changes. The onset can be either sudden or gradual, but it is more commonly acute. It is often a result of the spread of upper respiratory infections and bronchitis, or it may follow respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This condition poses a significant threat to children's health and generally requires intravenous treatment. You can try fosfomycin as a treatment option.
