My 8 month old baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia. is treatment always successful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: Pneumonia used to have a high mortality rate, but with the use of proper antibiotics and supportive care the mortality rate is very low. However, there may be a viral pneumonia such as influenza pneumonia that has a high mortality rate. Even with proper care, pneumonia can very serious, so proper medical care is extremely important.
