Pneumonia risk rises in children from milk bottles

Changing weather, increasing pollution and the effect of cold, conditions can make anyone sick. In winter, the problem of cold and cough increases a lot in children. When this cold persists for a long time, there is a risk of it turning into pneumonia. Especially children who drink milk from a bottle have a 10 times higher risk of getting pneumonia. Doctors say that when a child drinks milk from a bottle, many times the bottle remains in his mouth even while sleeping. In such a situation, this milk starts accumulating in the tube through the breath. When this milk starts accumulating gradually, it causes infection and this is where pneumonia starts.

According to doctors, children between 1 and 5 years of age are at risk of diarrhoea, pneumonia, cold and cough during the changing weather. If the cold and cough persists for a long time, many times the child starts having a fever. While breathing, the ribs start making noise. Breathing becomes faster. If pneumonia is not treated on time, the infection starts increasing and pus develops in the ribs and windpipe. In such a situation, many times the child is unable to



breathe and the child may even die.

When does pneumonia become dangerous?

As the infection increases, pus forms in the lungs. Which is removed through a tube. This is a very dangerous condition of pneumonia. You have to save the child from getting into this condition and for this, necessary steps should be taken in time.
