A two-month-old infant was hospitalized for pneumonia for five days and was discharged. After going to crowded places, the baby started coughing and produced a lot of sputum. After seeing a doctor and taking medication, the baby developed green stools and vomiting of milk curd with sputum, becoming restless and crying. Does this mean the condition has worsened?
