Ashley B., 3

Ashley, who enjoys playing with her friends and is looking forward to joining school like other children, has recently been unwell. Despite her mother's attempts at home remedies for her cough, vomiting, poor appetite, and bouts of diarrhea, Ashley's condition has worsened. As a result, it has been decided to bring her to the hospital for proper evaluation and treatment. It is important to provide the medical team with detailed information about her symptoms and previous home remedies. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

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.
