Is my son still tired and not eating much even though he is receiving treatment for an infection?

It is normal for a child receiving treatment for pneumonia to be fatigued and not eating much. It can take several days to weeks for pneumonia symptoms to completely resolve. It is important to continue the treatment as long as it is tolerated, and to encourage the child to drink plenty of liquids. Tylenol or Advil can be given alongside the antibiotic to help with any fever or discomfort.
