Mohammad F., 1

Mohammad Farhan is a 5-month-old baby boy who was previously well before developing fever, cough, and cold followed by worsening breathing difficulty. He lives with his parents and 16-year-old sister in a four-member family, while his father, Mohammad Rubel (40), is the sole earner, working as a garment worker and earning only about USD 65 per month. With this limited income, the family struggles to meet their daily needs and cannot afford the cost of Farhan’s hospital treatment, and they learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Masud Rana. Farhan was diagnosed with severe pneumonia after developing rapid breathing and an SpO₂ of only 89%, requiring urgent medical care. Without timely treatment, his pneumonia and low oxygen level may worsen rapidly, leading to severe respiratory distress, respiratory failure, and potentially life-threatening complications.

Hospitalization with antibiotic therapy, nebulization, and other supportive treatment is expected to control Farhan’s severe pneumonia, improve his breathing and oxygen level, and support recovery. With timely treatment, close monitoring, and appropriate supportive care, he is expected to stabilize and gradually return to normal feeding and activities. If left untreated, severe pneumonia may worsen rapidly, causing severe respiratory distress, dangerously low oxygen levels, respiratory failure, and other potentially life-threatening complications.
