Question
How to distinguish between pediatric cold and pneumonia?
Answer
The distinction between pediatric cold and pneumonia mainly involves the severity of symptoms, duration, and the presence of symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and expectoration. In most cases, the symptoms of a pediatric cold are relatively mild and typically do not require special treatment to heal on their own. On the other hand, the symptoms of pediatric pneumonia are more severe and may necessitate hospitalization.
