Question
My baby is 7 months old and has a cold, with coughing and some fever in the morning and evening. It’s more severe at night when sleeping, and it’s been almost two weeks. We’ve given her cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cough syrup, but the effect is not obvious. How is pediatric pneumonia caused?
Answer
Pediatric pneumonia can be caused by various factors, including infections by various pathogens such as viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia; specific environmental factors may also trigger pneumonia, such as aspiration pneumonia. These factors can all lead to inflammation of the lungs.
