Can pneumonia in children heal itself?

Very few cases of pneumonia in children can heal on their own. Regardless of the severity of the disease, timely treatment is recommended to avoid serious consequences caused by untimely treatment.
Very few cases of pneumonia in children can heal on their own, such as viral pneumonia. If the child has a strong body resistance, it may heal on its own in 2 to 3 weeks. The vast majority cannot heal on their own. If not treated in time, it can cause systemic infection, damage to the heart, and in severe cases, sepsis. Children with pneumonia should seek medical attention in a timely manner, clarify the condition, and treat the symptoms.
Pneumonia in children is mostly caused by bacterial infection. Respiratory secretions can be examined and antibiotic treatment can be selected based on the results. During treatment, cough and expectorant drugs should be used, and children should be given plenty of water and their backs should be patted frequently to promote the discharge of sputum.
