Question

How should pediatric pneumonia be treated?

Answer

A one-year-old child recovered after two weeks of intravenous injections for pneumonia, during which they experienced facial pallor. A blood test revealed anemia, and the child is now on the third day of B12 injections. The child’s skin has become rosy, and parents are asking about the effectiveness of the B12 injection, the duration of treatment, and the subsequent iron supplementation method, concerned about the child’s anemia making them prone to illness.
