Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Fast breathing and fever suggest pneumonia. You should consult your doctor as early as possible in ER and get investigations like x-ray chest, CBS, etc., done to confirm diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
