A member asked:
My 1 year old has been diagnosed with pneumonia. could this have long term effects on her health? brain damage etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Pneumonia is a relatively common diagnosis at that age & many are from common viruses or easily treated bacteria. If the kid is hospitalized in an ICU with poor oxygen flow through their system, it would be worrisome. With common pneumonia, it is more a nuscience than a threat.
