Question
Parents inquire about the duration of treatment for a child who has contracted pneumonia.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have developed pneumonia due to a cold and cough, leading to recurrence. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and use medication to control the condition, in order to prevent it from worsening. Generally, after hospitalization and the discontinuation of intravenous fluids, oral medication should be continued at home for nearly a week to ensure stable control of the condition.
