Pl do not worry. Your doctor is doing best what he can do with allopatChatDoctoredicine in given conditions. To my own such patients, I give herbal combo after the acute Phase of illness is over, to build immunity and resistance against recurring infection. This also cleans the respiratory tract of any minute congestion if any. Piper longum, Cyprus rotundas, Pistachio integerrima, Aconite heterophyllum are four classic child-friendly herbs dealing not only with pneumonia related problems but also detoxifies the intestines, controls lose motions, promotes appetite in small child Chat Doctor.  A classic combo of these mentioned in Ayurveda references is Balchaturbha
