Warm moist air can help loosen up the sticky mucus that could be blocking your child’s airway and making it difficult to breathe. You can use a humidifier or a mist vaporizer in the room where your child rests.

Breast Milk for Infants

For babies younger than 6 months who are diagnosed with pneumonia, breast milk is very important as it offers the required nutrients to fight the illness and also keeps the baby hydrated.

Ensure Your Child Gets Proper Rest

Refrain your child from physical activity and get him/her enough bed rest to allow the body to focus on repairing itself, rather than using energy to power the muscles.
