How to use medicine for pneumonia in children

We know that children's physical health is an issue that parents are most concerned about. However, since the various organs of children's bodies are not fully developed, they are vulnerable to diseases. Therefore, parents must help children prevent diseases. We know that children are prone to symptoms of pneumonia, so once pneumonia occurs, how should we give children medication?

Children with pneumonia should try to avoid contact with patients with colds, especially those with respiratory colds. Children with pneumonia should avoid crowded places, keep the indoor air fresh, and do more outdoor activities to strengthen their physical fitness. Children with pneumonia have symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. If not treated thoroughly, it will seriously affect the child's intellectual development.
