Is pneumonia serious in children?

Whether children's pneumonia is serious is related to the patient's physical condition, whether there is drug resistance or whether there are complications. If there are serious complications, they are more serious and can be life-threatening.
The severity of pneumonia in children is related to the patient's physical constitution. If the physical constitution is poor, the disease will be more serious. For example, severe malnutrition, congenital heart disease, and immune deficiency may cause death of infants and young children. If the patient is resistant to drugs, the disease cannot be controlled after taking medication.
If there are complications of pneumonia in children, they may be serious and may cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute heart failure or acute kidney injury. If the symptoms of pneumonia cannot be controlled during treatment, it may cause serious risks and requires attention.
