The doctors told me his lungs had some damage, and he would always be susceptible to lung viruses and bacteria. Normally, I would have taken him to the doctor for antibiotic, as he gets pneumonia about once a year.
However, we prayed, and I gave him oregano oil, 2-3 drops every 2-3 hours, plus we did eucalyptus steam baths, hot compresses to his chest, and this was very effective. He wasn't able to cough at all, because his chest hurt so bad, but after the compresses and eucalyptus, he began to cough, and after that got better. Saved us a lot of $$ by not having to go to the doctor. Had he not gotten better, a doctor visit would have been necessary, but thankfully, our prayers and home remedies at home worked!

KBTW, i don't have to tell you, prolly, that grocery store food is not optimum--but i eat it, too, on occasion. Susceptibility to pneumonia = poor immune system, to me, and for what it's worth i would recommend immuno-boosters for life, at least for this child. They are cheap, and effective--i've even cured an abscessed tooth with them.
