Covid pneumonia
Hello doctor
I'm seeing lot of adults and old age people suffering from covid pneumonia. Does this happen in kids as well?
I have 15months old baby and I'm worried about these kind of things happening during the second wave.

Some kids can have covid pneumonia though less common than adults. Need proper monitoring at home and in consultation with any pediatrician.
