PNEUMONIA

PNEUMONIA is an infection of the lung tissue and is caused mainly by bacteria or viruses. Viral pneumonia is generally milder than bacterial pneumonia, though bacterial pneumonia is easier to treat. Pneumonia often appears with a fever and cough following a brief cold. Children with pneumonia usually have some difficulty in breathing with either fast breathing, pain when breathing or increased effort in breathing. The condition is treated with antibiotics and most children make a full recovery in one to two weeks. It is very contagious, and travels through the air.
