If the treatment is not thorough, the disease is likely to recur and affect the child's development. The clinical manifestations of pneumonia in children include fever, cough, and dyspnea. Some children may not have fever but have severe cough and asthma.

The main cause of the disease is that children like to eat too sweet, too salty, fried and other foods, which leads to food stagnation and internal heat, excessive phlegm and heat, and occasional encounters with wind and cold that cause lung qi to be blocked.
