Hi,
pneumonia is a LRTI infection of lung parenchyma which can be fatal. But if the treatment started early and agrasively(iv antibiotics and other supportive management ) then outcome is good.
So in my opinion you should continue treating the patient with your pediatrician . In case of doubt you can take second opinion.
Thanks n regards
