“Can bronchitis turn into pneumonia?”
My baby was diagnosed with bronchitis. I am afraid. Can bronchitis turn into pneumonia?

If it is treated, less chances. But any respiratory illness can lead up to a pneumonia if not treated.
It can - anything can "turn" into pneumonia but babies usually do fine - they fight off the viral infection and get back to normal. Keep your baby well hydrated and as comfortable as possible and give it time. If she starts to seem like she is getting worse or having trouble breathing, she needs to be seen asap.
