Question
Do I need to hospitalize my baby for pneumonia?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby had a cold with coughing at two months old and it progressed to pneumonia. Recently, the symptoms of pneumonia have recurred. In this situation, you can initially treat your baby at home with oral medication and closely monitor their condition. During the treatment, make sure your baby gets enough rest, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes proper precautions to stay warm. There is no need for hospitalization; you can manage the medication treatment at home.
