How can you treat a lung infection in a 2 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It would depend on what is actually going on. If it is a bacterial infection, the child would antibiotics. If the child has wheezing, they would need breathing treatments. If it is a viral infection without any wheezing, then no treatment would be needed.
