Eugene W., 9

Eugene lives with his single mother and enjoys playing with his dog, football, and fixing wooden cars. He has a fondness for drinking soda and eating cakes and dreams of becoming a mechanic in the future. Recently, Eugene was taken to the hospital with complaints of a cough, difficulty breathing, reduced appetite, and abdominal pain. These symptoms had persisted for three days, and the pain relievers he was given provided little relief, leading to a worsening of his condition and prompting his visit to the hospital.

Eugene was diagnosed with pneumonia and gastritis. He was treated in the outpatient department with antibiotics and antihistamines. Eugene spent four hours in the hospital after receiving start doses in emergency room as he was in pain before he was discharged with oral drugs to continue at home. Two weeks later, Eugene was brought for check up which he shows incredible recovery, he was strong and happy again. Parents were very happy and thankful to Helpster Charity for saving their son's life. According to them it was not easy at all.

Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications. Untreated gastritis can lead to erosion of the mucosal lining, increasing the risk of developing ulcers and even gastric bleeding, which poses a serious health risk.
