Mohammad J., 1

Mohammad is a 9-month-old boy from Narayanganj who lives happily with his parents in a tin-roofed house. His parents dream of him becoming a cricketer. His dad is the only one who works to support the family. Unfortunately, Mohammad is sick with severe pneumonia. He's having a hard time breathing and has a cough, cold, and fever. He's also dealing with anemia and malnutrition. Mohammad was given oral antibiotics, but he didn't get better. That's why the family came to Narayanganj Polyclinic for better treatment and is seeking help from Helpster Charity.

Mohammad was suffering from Severe Pneumonia with Malnutrition. He took antibiotics several times, but didn’t help. Mohammad has shortness of breath, fast breathing, cough and cold, fever and anemia. He needed emergency hospitalization. Mohammad was treated with oxygen inhalation, nebulization with salbutamol, ipratropium bromide, budesonide, and injectable antibiotics as condition was very serious. Now Mohammad is doing well and back at home with his parents. Mohammad (Mohammad's Father): "I am so grateful to Narayanganj Polyclinic and Helpster Charity Donors. Our son was suffering and we couldn't get proper treatment in a state hospital as we had no money for the medicines. We were desperate. Now we are happy! Thank you so much!"

The patient has been suffering from cough and cold, fever, fast breathings, anemia. He has developed severe pneumonia and malnutrition recently which got life-threatening. The patient needs urgent hospitalisation and immediate treatment. 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.
