How to spot pneumonia in children

Описание: Pneumonia can become life-threatening very quickly — especially in young children. Knowing the warning signs and acting fast can save a life.

In this important educational video, we explain the key symptoms of pneumonia in children and when you must seek immediate medical help. Learn how to recognise danger signs such as:

Difficulty or fast breathing
Chest “sucking in” (chest moving inward when breathing)
Nasal flaring
Grunting, wheezing, or stridor sounds
Blue lips or pale skin
Very high or very low temperature
Refusal to drink or breastfeed
Vomiting
Unusual sleepiness or unconsciousness
Convulsions or violent shaking

We also share essential guidance on:

When to take your child to a health worker immediately
The importance of completing the full course of antibiotics
How breastfeeding helps protect against pneumonia
The role of vaccinations and immunisations
Simple prevention steps like handwashing and reducing smoke exposure

This video is designed to help parents, carers, and communities recognise pneumonia early and respond quickly. Early action can prevent serious complications and save lives.
