Symptoms of childhood pneumonia are similar to flu, but they last longer and can be aggravating. In addition, they may vary according to the age of the baby or child. The main symptoms that catch the attention of the parents is the high fever, above 38ºC and the cough with phlegm. These signs may suddenly appear in the case of bacterial pneumonia or gradually set in, as in the case of viral pneumonia, and it is important to inform the pediatrician to diagnose the type of pneumonia and initiate appropriate treatment.
