A member asked:

Please help! my 7 month old is suffering from pneumonia, how do we treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See pediatrician: Pneumonia in children could be dangerous if remained untreated. Majority of time is viral if it involves upper lobes. If it is lobar might need hospital admission. If atypical could be treated with PO antibiotics. Please see your pediatrician. Shahzeidi, md.
