INTRODUCTION

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection. It is also

called Pneumonitis or Bronchopneumonia. Pneumonia can be a serious threat to

our health. Although pneumonia is a special concern for older adults and those

with chronic illnesses, it can also strike young, healthy people as well. It is a

common illness that affects thousands of people each year in the Philippines,

thus, it remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the country.

There are many kinds of pneumonia that range in seriousness from mild to life-

threatening. In infectious pneumonia, bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organisms

attack your lungs, leading to inflammation that makes it hard to breathe.

Pneumonia can affect one or both lungs. In the young and healthy, early

treatment with antibiotics can cure bacterial pneumonia. The drugs used to fight

pneumonia are determined by the germ causing the pneumonia and the

judgment of the doctor. It’s best to do everything we can to prevent pneumonia,

but if one do get sick, recognizing and treating the disease early offers the best

chance for a full recovery.

A case with a diagnosis of Pneumonia may catch one’s attention, though the

disease is just like an ordinary cough and fever, it can lead to death especially

when no intervention or care is done. Since the case is a toddler, an appropriate

care has to be done to make the patient’s recovery faster. Treating patients with

pneumonia is necessary to prevent its spread to others and make them as

another victim of this illness.
