“Pneumonia is caused due to bacteria, fungus, parasites and virus. In India, bacteria are causing pneumonia than any other contagious organisms. It is caused without any notice or symptoms and the patient will suffer cough, fever and tiredness (panting). Either the lower respiratory tract or the upper respiratory tract will get infected with the bacteria. For lower respiratory tract infection, antibiotics should be administered. Acute respiratory tract infection can be diagnosed with X-Ray and blood tests. Parents are advised to get their children vaccinated before winter season,” he added.
