Does pneumonia in children cause high fever?

Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of pneumonia in children, is it high fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the most common symptom of pediatric pneumonia is coughing. If a stethoscope is used to listen, there may be phlegm. Some children may have a fever, but children without a fever may not necessarily not have pneumonia.
Suggestions: It is recommended to take a chest X-ray. If the X-ray supports pneumonia, and the child does not have a fever, it is still possible that the child has pneumonia, at least bronchitis. Anti-inflammatory treatment or intravenous drip should be administered.
The occurrence of bone tumors in children severely affects the patient's work. In addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily care. Rest and nutritional support should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the risk of occurrence.
