Hello dear, mild pneumonia is common in this age group and nothing to worry about it. It can be treated at home with adequate fluid intake and proper medications. You as a parent just need to monitor few things like the child's activity level, breathing rate and pattern, whether he/she is accepting oral feeds or not, colour of his lips, fingers and toes. Don't worry, just be cautious and be in touch with a pediatrician
