Answer
Pneumonia in infants is a common and potentially serious disease that can occur year-round, but it is more frequent during the changing seasons of winter and spring. Symptoms can appear acutely or chronically. Most often, it is the result of an upper respiratory infection or the worsening of bronchitis, and sometimes it may occur secondary to infectious diseases such as measles or whooping cough. Pneumonia in infants can pose a severe threat to their health. Intravenous fluid therapy is typically required, and treatment with penicillin may be considered.
