My 8 mnth old baby has been diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia pls help?!

Pneumonia is of 2 types – bacterial and viral. The treatment for both types differs. Bacterial pneumonia is cured by a good antibiotic prescription. However, in the case of viral pneumonia, antibiotics are not effective. Pneumonia of the viral kind is best treated with rest and the right fluid intake. A child suffering from this disease tends to have high fever and rapid breathing, both of which dehydrate the child. Hence, high fluid intake is a must. Consult physician about how much fluid to give the child. Since the child is 4 months old, you are still breast-feeding the child. Your physician will be best suited to recommend correct action. Also, to prevent further relapses, observe high standards of hygiene. Wash all hands that come in contact with the baby in good, anti-germ hand wash. Also, discourage people from smoking near the infant. Pneumonia is a respiratory disorder. Passive smoking will make things worse

Hi, im very sorry i cant help but could you tell me what hes been like for you to keep taking him to the docs? my little boy is nerly 8 months now and hes always been very chesty, he has recently (last couple of weeks) had a very chesty cough, which sometimes when he does cough i think that sounded terrible should i take him to the doctors? but he seems his normal self most of the time. apart from this past couple of days he hasnt been his self at all. i was just thinking he might be poorly been giving him baby nurofen and hes been napping alot. he dosent seem to have any trouble breathing though. i would just like to know how your little boy has been as if mason has this too i obviously would need to get it sorted :) thanks xx and best wishes to your lil man. xx
