Getting sick is inevitable for people. Especially for young babies, their resistance is relatively poor. If parents are not careful, the baby's body will appear abnormal. Cough is usually considered the most difficult disease to treat, especially for babies who cough for a long time. At this time, parents need to consider whether the baby has bronchitis or pneumonia. So, what are the symptoms of pneumonia in a 14 month old baby?
Symptom 1: Cough and fever
The obvious symptom of a baby's pneumonia is coughing, accompanied by a fever that persists, and medication may not have a significant effect. If this is the case, consider that the baby may have pneumonia and it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Generally, doctors will take pictures to observe the infection status of the baby's lungs.
Symptom 2: General weakness and lack of energy
A 14 month old baby, whose body is still gradually developing, has poor resistance and is prone to bacterial and viral infections. Once infected with a virus or bacteria, causing pneumonia, the baby may feel unwell, lack strength, and unwilling to move much, always feeling lethargic. At this time, parents should take it seriously and go to see a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
Symptom 3: Refusal to eat or other symptoms
When a baby suffers from pneumonia, it may be accompanied by coughing and fever. Coughing can cause discomfort in the baby's throat, and fever can also make the baby's mouth tasteless and not want to eat anything. At this point, the baby may experience symptoms such as food refusal and vomiting. Once parents notice the above symptoms in their children, they should seek medical treatment promptly.
