What are the symptoms of pneumonia in children? Two symptoms are most common in children

1. Fever The most common symptom of pneumonia in children is fever, which is usually above 38°C and lasts for 2-3 days. Antipyretics can only temporarily reduce the body temperature, which will rise again soon. Although children with colds will also have fever, the body temperature is usually below 38°C and lasts for a short time, so the effect of antipyretics is more obvious. 2. Cough and breathing Another typical feature of pneumonia in children is cough, wheezing and difficulty breathing. If the cough and wheezing are caused by colds and bronchitis, they are mostly paroxysmal and generally do not cause difficulty breathing. If the cough and wheezing are severe, the respiratory rate will increase when at rest.
