Understanding Pneumonia in Children
Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus, leading to cough, fever, chills, and breathing difficulties. In children, pneumonia can range from mild to severe and requires prompt medical attention.
At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we provide expert, evidence-based care for paediatric pneumonia. Our focus is on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and supporting your child's recovery so they can return to school, play, and daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.

- Targeted Treatment: Antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal therapy tailored to the specific cause and severity of infection.
- Respiratory Support: Oxygen therapy, nebulization, and airway clearance techniques to ease breathing.
- Nutrition & Hydration Guidance: Supporting your child's immune system with proper fluids and nutrition during recovery.
