What are the dangers of pneumonia in children

Pneumonia in children can cause heart damage, heart failure in infants and young children, and brain damage, accompanied by symptoms such as irritability or drowsiness, and cerebral edema.
1. Heart damage <br/>Pneumonia can lead to complications, such as toxic myocarditis failure. The symptoms of heart failure in infants and young children are not similar to those in adults. Pneumonia itself causes hypoxia, which can lead to increased heart rate and breathing, and is easy to misdiagnose. Heart failure can easily cause death in infants and young children. If a child is found to be pale and has severe breathing difficulties, it should be taken seriously.
2. Brain damage <br/>If it is mild hypoxia, irritability or drowsiness may occur, which is more common. If there is severe hypoxia, the harm is more, causing toxic encephalopathy and cerebral edema, which is a greater risk.
