Question
What should be done if a child with pneumonia exhibits symptoms such as blood in phlegm, severe coughing, high fever, weight loss, pallor, and difficulty breathing?
Answer
Pneumonia can lead to fever and respiratory problems, and if not treated promptly, it may result in serious consequences, even death. It is recommended to seek medical attention immediately, especially for infants under two months old, who are prone to accidents at home and may require hospitalization. X-rays showing blurred spots and shadows in the lungs may be signs of pneumonia.
