Be Vigilant: Severe Cold Weather Raises Pneumonia Risk In Children

Pneumonia is expected to affect children due to the increasing cold weather. Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Children aged 0-5 years and elderly individuals above 65 years are more vulnerable. Doctors have advised parents to be vigilant about children’s health. They recommend breastfeeding babies for up to six months to help strengthen their immunity.
