It's completely normal to feel worried when you learn your baby has pneumonia. But at this point, my advice has real limits, and here's the honest truth: pneumonia in a 1 year old must be monitored and treated by a doctor.
Whether it's bacterial or viral, your baby's oxygen level, breathing rate — only a pediatrician can evaluate these. If your baby is already under treatment, giving medications on schedule is the single most important thing.
What you can do at home: keep the room well-ventilated, position your baby upright while sleeping (the way your doctor suggested), monitor fever, and offer plenty of fluids (breast milk or formula).
Watch for emergency signs: bluish tint around the lips, ribs pulling inward when breathing, nonstop rapid breathing, unusual sleepiness — any of these means get to the ER right away.
Stay in touch with your doctor. How is your baby's fever, cough, overall energy levels right now?
