Summary

This study compares a 5-day course of antibiotics to the usual 7-14 day course for children aged 3 months to 18 years hospitalized with uncomplicated pneumonia. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective and causes fewer side effects. About 236 children will be randomly assigned to either the short or standard treatment, and researchers will follow up to check for treatment success and any adverse reactions.
