Doctor warns lingering cough, fatigue in kids may signal pneumonia
According to paediatrician, Dr Unmesh Upadhyay, children with a lingering dry cough, low-grade fever, and fatigue may actually have atypical or "walking" pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Spotting these subtle symptoms early helps ensure timely diagnosis, targeted antibiotics, and faster recovery-preventing complications from being mistaken for a simple cold.
