Symptoms of Pneumonia in Children
Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus, causing cough, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can cause pneumonia.
The symptoms most commonly associated with pneumonia in children include rapid breathing, chest pain, fever, and a cough that may produce phlegm.

While rashes can be associated with certain infections, a rash is not typically associated with pneumonia unless it's part of a systemic response to an infection. Fatigue is a common symptom of many illnesses, including pneumonia, due to the body's energy being directed towards fighting the infection.
